Images.  Beyond  the  statue  of  Elvis  and  the 
Libertyland  gate,  these  images  of  Memphis  meet  the 
knowing  eye  of  a  Memphis  State  student  and  remind 
him  of  how  it  is  and  was  to  be  part  of  this  experience  at 
this  time  and  place. 

Reflections,  both  real  and  surreal.  Sometimes  the 
cinemascopic  panorama  of  a  scene  stretched  bigger- 
than-life  across  the  eye's  curved  surface,  bending 
reality  in  ways  it  may  never  be  shaped  again.  At  this 
time  and  place  an  acceptabled  phenomenon  made 
more  palatable  because  the  time  and  place  is  right  for 
suspending  the  concrete  and  allowing  the  mind  to 
stretch  as  well,  even  if  the  perspective  we  brought  here 
is  altered  in  the  process. 

This  dreamlike  lapse  is  neither  a  negation  of  our 
perspective  nor  a  random  search  for  something  to 
replace  it.  The  lapse  is  merely  an  altered  and 
temporary  state,  permissible  for  this  moment  when  it 
may  never  be  permissible  again  or  before.  It  is  a  time 
for  expanding  horizons  and  imagining  what  realities  lie 
beyond  that  which  can  be  easily  grasped. 

And  yet  it  is  a  time  for  reality  as  well. 

We  seek  not  fantasy  but  knowledge;  not  escape  but 
involvement;  not  error  but  truth.  Our  eyes  are  open  to 
the  fact  that  we  are  of  this  world.  The  goal  is  self- 
fulfillment  but  with  a  wider  purpose. 

Inconsistencies.  The  contrasts  of  time  and  motion, 
beauty  and  the  commonplace,  age  and  eternity, 
vocation  and  avocation. ..all  juxtaposed  in  a 
kaleidoscope  of  color  or  in  patterns  of  shapes  and 
sizes  seemingly  designed  to  confuse,  only  present 
choices.  Perhaps  it's  the  decisions  we  must  now  make 
that  will  take  us  away,  one  way  or  the  other.  Selections 
can  no  longer  be  made  for  us.  They  are  ours  to  make.

:*:  ,:    ' 


We  gaze  and  are  astounded.  We  are  seeing  perhaps 
for  the  first  time,  standing  on  an  uncertain  ground,  on 
a  cold  and  foreign  soil,  at  patterns  spreading  out 
before  us  in  all  directions.  And  only  now  do  we  realize 
the  scope  of  the  choices  that  are  there.  We  had  not 
dreamed  them  before;  had  not  realized  their  expanse, 
their  immensity.  Impressionable,  impatient,  yet  nearly 
immobile,  we  pause  here  to  consider  —  because 
pausing  as  well  is  the  purpose  of  this  place. 

Like  a  circle,  a  perfect  orb  with  neither  beginning  nor 
end,  this  is  the  time  that  makes  us  whole  if  we  will 
allow  it  to  work  it's  complete  power.  Looking  back  at 
some  future  time,  perhaps  through  the  mist  of  a  fond 
memory  of  person,  place  or  just  what  may  seem  later 
as  brief  contentment,  we  will  find  more  than  meets 
today's  eyes. 

Beyond  the  statue  of  Elvis  and  the  red-and-white 
awning  at  Friday's,  these  are  the  images  which  will 
shape  the  picture  of  our  lives  as  we  grow  —  BETTER 
THAN  EVER.

8    Student  Life 


XujUiJ, 


Dorm  Life  continued  to  be  the  topic  of 
conversation.  Whether  the  good,  the  bad,  or  the 
ugly,  all  the  dorm  rooms  were  filled  as  other 
students  camped  in  lobbies  and  waited  for 
someone,  anyone,  to  change  his  mind  and  move 
out. 

The  dismay  continued  through  registration  as 
students  both  old  and  new  watched  in  horror  as 

the  lines  grew  and  grew  and  gFCW, 

and  pulling  cards  for  classes  became  a  standing 
room  only  affair. 

Theatre  buffs  held  a  faint  glimmer  of  hope  that 
they'd  survive  registration  to  find  out  how  the 
theatre  department  planned  to  top  "Whole  Lotta 
Shakin'."  The  musical  about  Memphis  music, 
was  created  by  Memphis  State's  Gloria  Baxter 
and  Keith  Kennedy  along  with  George  Caldwell, 
Marshall  Jacks,  Joe  Mulherin  and  Henry 
Swanson. 

All  the  students  who  survived  the  initial  shocks 
were  treated  to  the  good  things  college  life  can 
bring  as  Memphis  State  showed  it  was  BETTER 
THAN  EVER.

SAC  Hosts  A  Watermelon  Welcome 


■li    a

Snacking  on  watermelon  is  a  pasttime  which  can  be 
the  cause  of  more  than  a  few  funny  faces. 

Jo  Strickland  "sharpens"  her  expertise  in  slicing  and 
dicing  by  lending  a  hand  in  the  watermelon  slaughter. 


The  first  couple  of  weeks  back  to  school 
can  be  very  tiring  and  also  somewhat 
depressing  because  the  realization  that 
summer  is  over  and  the  rat  race  has  started 
again  sets  in. 

To  chase  away  those  "back-to-school 
blahs,"  the  Student  Activities  Committee 
sponsored  a  "Watermelon  Bust"  Sept.  7. 
The  SAC  admitted  that  the  beautiful 
weather  certainly  contributed  to  the  esti- 
mated turnout  of  900  people.  That  day 
deans  and  directors  from  departments  all 
over  campus  wielded  sharp  knives... to  cut 
the  30  watermelons  needed  to  serve  the 
crowd. 


The  next  event  was  the  "Spirit  With 
Pizazz"  concert  presented  at  the  University 
Center  Sept.  8,  followed  by  HPER  Pool 
Party  Sept.  9.  Though  the  attendance  for 
these  was  considerably  smaller  than  for  the 
Watermelon  Bust,  the  SAC  considered  the 
response  to  the  activities  good. 

The  activities  were  brought  to  a  close 
with  the  SAC  mass  meeting  Sept.  12.  This 
meeting,  disguised  as  an  ice  cream  social, 
introduced  all  interested  students  to  the 
SAC  and  the  various  duties  they  perform 
on  campus.

A  slice  of  watermelon  on  a  hot  day  can  be  cool,  refreshing—  and  a  little  messy. 

Even  students  on  the  go  stopped  long  enough  to  take  a  rest  and  a  bite  of  watermelon 
while  amused  faculty  members  look  on.

Jobs 


Money.  It's  something  that  no  college 
student  has  enough  of.  Assumming  that 
they  are  not  independently  wealthy,  most 
students  either  get  help  from  Mom  and 
Dad  or  get  a  job. 

In  spite  of  the  tight  job  market,  many 
Memphis  State  students  do  work — on  and 
off  campus — and  sometimes  both. 

Toya  Mason,  a  desk  clerk  at  Mynders 
Hall,  is  one  of  the  lucky  ones  who  doesn't 
have  to  skip  classes  of  drive  like  a  maniac 
to  get  to  work.  She  works  12  hours  a  week, 
and  her  work  schedule,  as  is  typical  of 
campus  jobs,  is  adjusted  to  fit  around  her 
classes.  Her  duties  consist  of  answering  the 
telephone  and  enforcing  visiting  rules. 

Another  on-campus  worker  is  Susan 
Martin.  She  works  18  hours  per  week  with 
Computer  Services  where  she  is  a  "trouble- 
shooter".  It  is  her  job  to  make  sure  that  the 
Univac  computer  terminals  around  campus 
work  properly,  sometimes  a  hectic  job. 

Most  of  the  jobs  held  by  Memphis  State 


students  are  off  campus  because  the  ma- 
jority of  students  are  commuters. 

Peter  Anderson,  one  such  commuter, 
works  about  35  hours  per  week  at  a  movie 
theatre  in  Whitehaven.  Although  he  often 
has  to  work  on  weekends,  he  said  he  has 
lots  of  time  to  study  once  the  movie  starts. 
The  bonus  is  getting  to  see  all  the  latest 
movies  free. 

Another  off  campus  worker,  Cynthia 
Armistead,  is  head  nurse  of  orthopedic 
surgery  at  Baptist  Central  Hospital.  Al- 
though currently  on  educational  leave  of 
absence  to  pursue  a  pre-med  degree,  her 
usual  duties  consist  of  coordinating  surgical 
cases  and  keeping  the  doctors  aware  of 
their  surgical  schedule. 

At  Memphis  State  University,  student 

jobs  are  as  varied  and  colorful  as  the 

students    themselves.    Besides   providing 

financial  support,  having  a  job  builds  that 

all-important    sense    of   pride   and    self- 

steem.

Charles  Miller,  a  junior  engineering  major,  was  employed 
as  a  work-study  student  by  the  MSU  Law  Library  during 
the  fall  semester  of  1983.  Shelving  books  was  only  one  of 
the  duties  that  Charles  performed  for  the  library  through- 
out the  semester.

Filing  information  into  the  books  and  various  other  study  aides  used  by  the  law  students  was  the  most 
frequent  and  one  of  the  most  important  jobs  that  Charles  did  during  the  semester. 


1 2      Working 


I  remember  when  one  of  my  teachers 
told  us  we  couldn't  have  class  because  she 
couldn't  find  a  parking  place. 

I  remember  when  my  friends  and  1 
removed  huge  rocks  from  a  parking  place, 
so  I  could  park. 

The  things  people  will  do  for  a  parking 
place  never  ceases  to  amaze  me. 

I  remember  almost  losing  my  religion 
(I  don't  believe  in  using  profanity)  when  I 
saw  a  car  in  two  parking  places  after  I  had 
been  searching  in  vain  for  20  minutes  for 
just  one. 

Of  all  the  woes  I  have  gone  through  at 
Memphis  State,  parking  has  been  my 
biggest  one. 


Yet,  I  read  in  the  school's  newspaper, 
The  Daily  Helmsman  that  out  of  157 
institutions  surveyed,  MSU  ranked  no.#  1 
in  parking  availability  to  students. 

That  same  Helmsman  article  also  cited 
a  comprehensive  study  by  Harland 
Bartholomew  and  Associates,  a  planning 
and  survey  firm,  concluding  that  Memphis 
State  does  have  a  major  parking  problem. 
This  problem  is  easily  seen  in  the 
statistics  that  were  shown  in  the  Helms- 
man: 

1.  In  1980,  Memphis  State  had  7,017 
Parking  spaces,  14,400  full-time 
undergraduates  and  a  total  of  20,656 
students. 


2.  This  year,  Memphis  State  had 
7,367  parking  spaces,  15,436  full- 
time  students  with  a  total  of  22,040 
students. 

Nevertheless,  several  solutions  have 
been  proposed.  These  solutions  consist  of 
a  parking  garage  (which  would  only 
house  400  cars),  re-arranging  of  class 
schedules  and  re-routing  of  traffic  around 
Memphis  State. 

My  own  solution  to  my  own  parking 
problem,  however,  was  to  get  up  at 
6:30am  so  I  could  arrive  at  school  at 
7:30am.

UNIVERSITY  STORE: 


Books 

and  More 


While  many  students  and  staff  only 
ventured  to  the  basement  of  the  Uni- 
versity Center  once  a  semester  to  select 
their  text  books,  others  found  it  a  great 
place  to  browse  and  buy  MSU  memor- 
abilia, magazines,  computer  score 
sheets  etc.  This  was  due  to  the  manage- 
ment of  Jim  Lippy  and  the  old  MSU 
bookstore's  change  into  the  University 
Store.  Of  course,  this  was  only  a 
reflection  of  things  which  have  been 
building  for  several  years. 

One  of  the  most  recent  changes  was 
the  expanded  electronics  shop,  contain- 
ing everything  from  transistor  radios 
to  computer  hardware  and  software. 
The  clothing  section  was  redone  by 
moving  the  apparel  from  shelves  to 
department-store-style  racks  and  hang- 
ers. Updated  clothing  styles  were  added 
for  the  fashion  minded.  The  card  stand 


became  a  department  with  greeting 
cards  from  several  manufacturers, 
stationery  and  other  paper  products. 

During  the  year,  plans  for  a  gift 
department  became  a  reality.  Also 
planned  was  a  new  textbook  computer 
system  which  would  lessen  some  of  the 
problems  of  ordering  and  reordering 
books  and  would  hopefully  help  reduce 
the  mark-up  on  used  textbooks. 

Assistant  manager  Brian  Young  also 
hoped  to  "open  our  own  silk-screen 
printing  shop  where  we  can  make  our 
own  t-shirts,"and  to  isolate  magazines 
and  candy  into  a  separate  section.  If 
approved  these  changes  would  take 
place  as  part  of  a  five-year  expansion 
plan.

REGISTRATION:    Frustration 


Chaos  on  a  Grand  Scale 


What  campus  event  occurs  four  times  a 
year,  throws  the  University  Center  into 
chaos,  and  causes  even  the  most  sane 
among  us  to  believe  that  they  are  losing 
their  sense  of  direction?  Yes,  you're  right  if 
you  said  that  the  answer  is  Registration! 

What  exactly  is  registration?  Well,  the 
explanation  sounds  simple  enough.  Reg- 
istration is  the  time  when  a  MSU  student 
does  not  pass  Go,  does  not  collect  $200, 
but  heads  straight  for  the  UC  to  get  class 
cards  for  the  courses  of  his  choice,  pay  his 
fees,  and  make  sure  that  all  of  the  correct 
offices  and  computers  are  aware  of  his 
existence. 

What  does  registration  really  mean?  It 
means  getting  lost  in  the  crowd,  dealing 
with  the  frustration  of  not  being  able  to  get 
the  classes  you  need,  and  practically  signing 
away  your  soul  for  expenses.  Registration 
is  waiting  in  long  lines,  following  arrows, 
reading  a  thousand  signs,  and  wondering  if 
this  is  someone's  idea  of  a  joke. 

These  experiences  are  nothing  new  to 
the  battle-scarred  vets  who  have  earned 
their  stripes  in  registrations  past.  But  what 
of  the  first-timers?  What  war  stories  had 
they  collected  their  first  time  out? 

Everyone  asked  thought  the  entire  system 
would  probably  run  much  more  smoothly 
if  computerized.  It  was  also  generally 
agreed  that  the  process  itself  was  entremely 
confusing  and  could  probably  be  made 
easier. 

Freshman  Brooke  Duncan,  a  broadcast 
news  major,  said,  "There  was  entirely  too 


much  red  tape.  Those  responsible  for 
registration  should  definitely  take  a  close 
look  at  other  alternatives  to  the  present 
system  and  find  a  way  to  make  things  move 
along  easier." 

Photojournalism  major  Loretta  Harder, 
also  a  freshmen,  agreed  with  Brooke  and 
added,  "At  orientation,  we  were  really  not 
told  what  to  expect  (during  registration).  I 
had  no  idea  what  the  process  was  truly  like 
until  the  day  I  got  there." 

Sondra  Lewis,  a  sophomore  advertising 
major  and  recent  transfer  student,  had  a 
different  perspective:  "I  transferred  to  MSU 
from  a  small  junior  college.  Our  registra- 
tion consisted  of  standing  in  a  line,  talking 
to  a  counselor,  and  filling  out  a  class  sheet. 
I  knew  that  I  was  in  trouble  at  the  MSU 
registration  the  minute  I  saw  the  first 
arrow  and  looked  at  the  first  47  signs  right 
inside  the  door." 

Oh   well,   new  students  but  same  old 
complaints.      However,   freshman   Steve 
Norman,  a  business  major,  sums  it  up  the 
best:    "I  just  can't  wait  to  try  it  again. 
Maybe  I'll  get  everything  right  this  time!" 


The  packet  center  ii  only  one  of  the  many  pit  stops  in 
the  registration  survival  game  for  these  students  who 
did  not  receive  their  packets. 


After  being  closed  out  of  some  classes,  these  students 
retreat,  hoping  to  discover  some  alternate  strategies 
for  surviving  the  semester.

On  the  verge  of  complete  madness,  these  frustrated, 
exhausted  registration  victims  hope  in  vain  that  the 
end  is  near.

Games  People  Play 


With  over  two  thousand  people  packed 
into  the  campus  residence  halls,  polite 
conversation  and  TV  watching  could  stretch 
only  so  far. 

Then  the  times  of  torment  arrived. 

Students  cashed  their  savings  bonds  and 
headed  for  the  dark  basement  of  the  Uni- 
versity Center — it  was  game  room  time. 

This  mysterious  cave  housed  billiard 
tables,  dart  boards  —  and  those  dreaded, 
quarter-eating,  habit-forming  VIDEO 
GAMES.  There,  in  that  dark  hole,  students 
with  frantic,  calloused  hands  furiously 
worked  the  controls  of  the  machines. 

For  confirmed  video  junkies,  wh< 
couldn't  find  the  strength  to  make  the  trip 
across  campus  to  the  Center,  there  were 
even  some  games  in  dorm  lobbies. 

Joey  Welsch,  a  junior  majoring  in 
business  management,  was  one  of  the 
addicts.  "Video  games  are  my  life,"  he  said. 
"I've  seriously  though  about  changing  my 
major."  Several  other  students  also  made 
videos  both  their  pastime  and  play  time. 

Some  students  managed  to  resist  the 
vidoes,  but  succumbed  to  other  forms  of 
enetertainment.  These  may  have  included 
a  barking  contest  between  Robinson  and 
Browning  Halls  at  1 1:30  p.m.,  gambling  in 
the  lobby  of  Smith  Hall  on  who  would  be 
the  first  person  to  get  a  parking  ticket  on 
Patterson  Street,  or  scaling  the  walls  of 
Richardson  Towers. 

Chess,  backgammon  and  frisbee  were 
some  of  the  more  conventional  ways  of 
keeping  busy.  Carla  Andreas,  a  freshman 
majoring  in  biolqgy,  said,  "I  enjoy  more 
intellectually  stimulating  pastimes,"  Ms. 
Andreas,  known  as  the  Tiddly-Winks 
Champion  in  seven  states  and  two 
Canadian  provinces,  also  claimed  to  be  the 
undefeated  master  of  thumb-twiddling. 

-Steve  Norman 


Taking  a  firm  stand  against  the  computerized  mind  of 
a  video  game  can  be  a  lot  harder  than  it  looks. 


16   Games 


Video  games  usually  require  rapid  hand-eye  coordination  from  inexperienc- 
ed players  as  well  as  consistent  high-scorers. 


The  game  room  also  offers  ping-pong  and  pool  for  those  who  prefer  their 
games  tried  and  true  instead  of  new. 


Paranoid  politics  —  to  get  them  before  they  get  you  is  the  key  rule  of  survival  in 
the  world  of  video  games.

Homecoming: 

A  Week  of  Festivities 


With  party  fashions,  big-band  sounds, 
colorful  displays  and  flashy  fireworks,  this 
year's  Homecoming  was  a  blast — All  these 
were  used  in  a  salute  to  "Memphis  State 
and  Memphis  Music:  A  Winning  Com- 
bination." 

"This  year's  Homecoming  theme  was 
chosen  to  show  the  relationship  between 
Memphis  State  and  Memphis  music," 
according  to  Jo  Strickland,  Student  Activi- 
ties Council  advisor.  The  theme  was  selected 
to  coincide  with  the  reopening  of  Beale 
Street,  home  of  W.C.  Handy's  "Memphis 
Blues". 

Homecoming  festivities  were  opened  by 
Fashion  Board  models  swaying  in  party 
fashions  to  music  from  the  movie 
Flashdance.  They  strutted  across  the  stage 
showing  party  goers  what  to  wear  to 
Homecoming  activities. 

Also  strutting  across  the  stage  was  the 
1983  Homecoming  Court — Tina  Cody,  Lisa 
Hatchett,  Vikita  Partee,  Angela  Thompson 
and  Lyndi  Whipple. 

On  Tuesday,  the  Order  of  Omega,  a 
national  honorary  group  for  fraternity  and 
sorority  members  and  their  advisors,  gave 
a  reception  for  the  faculty  members.  This 
event,  held  in  the  University  Center's 
Faulkner  Lounge,  provided  Greek  members 
a  chance  to  get  acquainted  with  faculty 
members. 

On  Wednesday,  a  crowd  of  around  100 
listened  to  Memphis  State's  jazz  band, 
Southern  Comfort.  The  MSU  Birdland 
Repertory  was  also  featured. 

Thursday  was  the  day  the  Homecoming 
displays  were  seen  along  Central  Avenue. 
Built  by  several  student  organizations  and 


judged  by  art  department  members,  win- 
ning displays  were  announced  at  the  pep 
rally  that  night.  They  were:  first  place 
"Tiger  Victory  Will  Have  Eagles  Singing 
the  Blues,"by  Alpha  Gamma  Delta  Sorority 
and  Sigma  Chi  Fraternity;  second  place, 
"Rock-n-Roll  Over  the  Eagles  to  Make 
Them  Sing  the  Blues,"  by  Alpha  Delta  Pi 
Sorority  and  Sigma  Phi  Epsilon  Fraternity; 
spirit  award  was  given  to  Delta  Gamma 
Sorority. 

The  pep  rally  ended  with  fireworks 
flashing  over  a  crowd  of  about  1000  while 
the  Memphis  State  band  played  such  songs 
as  "Hold  That  Tiger"  and  "Eye  of  the 
Tiger." 

Spirit  With  Pizazz  performed  to  the  487 
people  who  attended  the  first  sold-out 
Mississippi  River  "Showboat"  Dance  in  its 
four-year  history.  The  band  satisfied  musi- 
cal tastes  from  New  Wave  to  soul  music. 

The  partying  continued  on  the  Saturday 
before  the  46th  Annual  Homecoming  game 
with  an  old-fashioned  barbecue  sponsored 
by  the  MSU  Alumni  Association  and 
music  performed  by  "Turning  Point." 

At  half-time,  the  Homecoming  Court 
was  presented  and  Memphis  State's  March- 
ing band  saluted  Memphis.  Selections  in- 
cluded Elvis'"Love  MeTender"and  W.C. 
Handy's  "Memphis  Blues."  Even  though 
Tiger  fans  were  disappointed  by  the  final 
score  of  the  game,  27-20,  they  were  treated 
to  an  exciting  second-half  rally  from  a  20-0 
deficit  at  half-time.

Homecoming  Court: 


a  winning  combination 


To  start  the  Homecoming  Festivities, 
five  young  ladies  were  chosen  from 
13  candidates  to  serve  on  Memphis 
State's  Homecoming  Court. 

This  year's  members  were  Tina  Coda, 
a  senior  business-secondary  education 
major;  Lisa  Hatchett,  a  senior  broadcast 
major;  Vikita  Partee,  a  junior  pre-med 
major;  Angela  Thompson,  a  senior 
computer  engineering  technology  major 
and  Lyndi  Whipple,  a  junior  accounting 
major. 

In  order  for  a  young  lady  to  be  a 
candidate  for  the  Homecoming  Court, 
she  must  be  enrolled  for  a  minimum  of 
six  semester  hours  at  the  time  of  election. 
She  must  also  have  a  2.5  G.P.A.  or 
more. 

According  to  Jo  Strickland,  adviser 
for  the  Student  Activities  Council,  the 
Homecoming  Court  was  representative 
of  the  girls  at  Memphis  State.  She  said 
the  court,  which  was  introduced  at  the 


annual  Homecoming  Fashion  Show  and 
again  to  over  1,000  people  at  the 
Homecoming  pep  rally,  also  represented 
MSU  during  other  Homecoming  activ- 
ities such  as  the  Riverboat  Dance,  the 
Saturday  barbecue,  and  the  46th  Annual 
Homecoming  game.  "Homecoming 
Week  can  be  hectic,  but  it  is  a  lot  of 
fun,"  Strickland  said. 

Agreeing  with  Strickland,  Tina  Coda, 
who  was  sponsored  by  Delta  Gamma 
Sorority,  described  participating  on  the 
Homecoming  Court.  "It's  different;  it's 
a  lot  of  fun,  and  I  enjoyed  it,"  she  said. 
Besides  being  a  member  of  the  Home- 
coming Court,  Coda  was  president  of 
Delta  Gamma  Sorority,  treasurer  of 
the  Student  National  Education  Associ- 
ation and  active  in  the  Order  of  Omega. 

Lisa  Hatchett,  sponsored  by  Delta 
Zeta  Sorority  and  Lambda  Chi  Alpha 
Fraternity,  said  she  enjoyed  reigning  on 
the  Homecoming  Court.  She  exclaimed,

Hatchett  also  models  for  the  Fashion 
Board  and  is  active  in  the  Blue  Chippers. 

Vikita  Partee,  the  representative  of 
the  Black  Student  Association,  also  felt 
that  being  a  member  of  the  Homecoming 
Court  was  an  honor.  She  said  that  being 
elected  was  a  big  responsibility.  Yet,  she 
said  that  it  was  a  reponsibility  that  she 
welcomed.  "It  has  made  me  feel  part  of 
MSU,"  she  said.  Vikita  was  also  a 
resident  adviser  in  Richardson  Towers 
North. 

Lyndi  Whipple,  a  candidate  for  both 
Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon  Fraternity  and 
Alpha  Deta  Pi  Sorority,  also  felt  pri- 
vileged to  serve  on  the  Homecoming 
Court.  Her  exclamations  about  her  reign 
were,"I  feel  privileged!  It's  exciting!  It's 
an  honor!  and  it's  fun!"  Whipple  was 
also  a  member  of  the  Student  Ambas- 
sador Board. 

Angela  Thompson,  the  Pan-Hellenic 
candidate  was  also  a  member  of  the 
Homecoming  Court.  She  is  also  treasur-

cal records  administration  major;  Jen- 
nifer Harthum,  a  senior  graphics  design 
major;  Anna  Jefferson,  a  senior  produc- 
tion management  major;  Beth  McLeod,

MSU  Takes  A  Divine  Tour 


Memphis  on  the  Mississippi,  which  has 
always  proudly  acknowledged  its  ties  to 
Memphis  on  the  Nile,  warmly  greeted  its 
latest  opportunity  to  look  at  the  glory 
which  is  Egypt  when  "A  Divine  Tour  of 
Ancient  Egypt"  opened  in 
October  at  the  University  Gallery. 

More  than  75  Egyptian  antiquities  and 
art  objects  went  on  display  in  what  the  Art 
Department  called  its  most  ambitious 
project  to  date.  Students  and  the  commu- 
nity were  afforded  a  rare  glimpse  of 
statuary,  reliefs  and  papyri  of  this  ancient 
civilization.  The  pieces  represent  Egyptian 
culture  from  3500  B.C.  to  the  seventh 
century. 

The  objects  were  painstakingly  collected 
from  such  donors  as  the  British  Museum, 
the  Brooklyn  Museum,  the  Detroit  Institute 
of  Arts  and  the  Boston  Museum  of  Fine 


Arts.  In  addition,  both  the  City  of  Memphis 
and  the  Memphis  Pink  Palace  Museum 
loaned  pieces.  Numerous  anonymous  col- 
lectors contributed  works  to  complete  the 
exhibit. 

Heralded  as  the  largest  exhibition  of 
Egyptian  antiquities  in  this  part  of  the 
country  since  the  visit  of  the  "Treasures  of 
Tutankhamun",  the  exhibit  opened  Oct.  6 
with  a  fanfare  of  belly  dancers,  Arabian 
horses  and  visiting  dignitaries.  Egyptian 
Ambassador  Dr.  Ashraf  Ghorbal  also  paid 
a  call. 

Students  greeted  the  arrival  during  half- 
time  of  the  Virginia  Tech  game,  as  the 
University  Band  played  "King  Tut"  while 
forming  Egyptian  symbols,  and  belly 
dancers  gyrated  across  the  field. 

Divided  into  four  sections,  the  Divine 
Tour  explored  ancient  Egyptian  concepts 


of  religion,  focusing  upon  the  major  centers 
of  worship;  Memphis,  Thebes  and  Abydos. 
Some  of  the  highlights  included  statues  of 
Isis  and  Horus,  the  Triad  of  Deities  from 
ancient  Memphis,  a  life-size  statue  of  the 
lion-headed  goddess  Sakhmet,  and  the 
mummy  of  Ankh  Ptah  Hotep,  who  died 
during  the  first  century. 

Also  on  display  was  the  gallery's  own 
permanent  collection  of  Egyptian  art,  the 
only  such  collection  in  the  Mid-South. 

A  lecture  series  by  a  group  of  world- 
famous  Egyptologists  accompanied  the 
exhibit.  The  exhibit  and  lectures  were  both 
free  and  open  to  the  public. 

The  program  was  made  possible  through 
grants  from  Union  Planters  National  Bank, 
Republic  Airlines,  the  Tennessee  Commit- 
tee for  the  Humanities  and  Walker  and 
Associates,  Inc.

"Studying — The  Inevitable  Evil" 


Sooner  or  Later.  .  . 


Studying — no  one  enjoys  it  but  if  you're 
a  student  at  Memphis  State,  or  any  other 
college,  you'll  have  to  do  it  sooner  or  later. 
It's  not  too  much  fun  but  it  can  be  made 
tolerable  if  you  have  the  correct  methods 
and  proper  atmosphere. 

Many  students  need  total  silence  with  no 
distractions  but  others,  such  as  Dave 
Skorupa,  a  freshman  journalism  major, 
prefer  to  listen  to  music  while  they  study. 
Dave  also  said  dim  lighting  helps  him,  but 
others  may  like  brighter  light. 

Every  student  has  a  different  way  of 
approaching  the  task.  Many  study  their 
text  books  or  their  notes.  Alicia  Plunk,  a 
sophomore  journalism  major,  says  she 
likes  to  prepare  study  sheets  and  outlines 
to  help  her. 

Where  you  study  and  who  you  study 
with  are  also  important  factors.  It  appears 
that  most  students  nowadays  prefer  to 
study  alone.  "All-nighter"  group  study 
sessions  seem  to  be  out.  Tracy  Colston,  a 
senior  accounting  major,  says  she's  been  to 
one  but  they  make  her  so  tired  that  she 
does  poorly  on  the  test  the  next  day. 

Most  people  like  to  study  at  home  or 
right  here  at  the  University.  But  some 
people  find  more  interesting  places  to 
study.  For  example,  freshman  music  major 
Alicia  Lee,  likes  to  study  in  her  car. 

Now  we  come  to  that  most  dreaded 
topic — tests.  Some  people  get  upset  about 
them  or  become  a  little  uneasy.  However, 
most  tests  are  pre-announced  so  there's 
usually  no  need  to  panic  and  plenty  of  time 
to  prepare  for  them.  However,  many 
students  still  wait  until  the  last  minute  to 
study  for  their  exams.  Everyone  knows 
what  it's  like  to  cram  for  an  exam.  Even  the 
most  studious  and  organized  students  have 
been  guilty  of  it  at  one  time  or  another. 
Sometimes  it  can't  be  helped  but  it  should 
be  avoided  as  much  as  possible. 

Obviously,  finals  are  the  greatest  cause 
of  apprehension  to  most  test-takers.  They 
are,  as  Dave  Skorupa  observes,  "like  the 
last  nail  in  your  coffin." 

The  times  that  people  study  and  how 
long  they  study  differ  depending  on  the 
number  and  difficulty  of  the  courses  they 
take  and  whether  they  work  or  not.  Many 
study  on  their  free  time  over  the  weekend. 
Others  prefer  to  save  the  weekend  for  fun 
and  study  after  school  or  after  work  on 


Mechanical  engineering  majors  Sharariar  Abolghasemi  and  Reza-Madjdi  consult  with  one  another  on  an 
assignment. 


Studying  with  friends  can  often  make  the  time-consuming  task  a  little  easier. 


26      Student  Life 


weeknights.  Still  others  study  simply  when 
they  can  find  the  time. 

Now  for  everyone's  favorite  part  of 
studying— breaks!  Some  people  like  to 
take  naps,  eat  or  watch  TV.  Some  like 
Alicia  Lee,  prefer  to  go  out  to  ease  the 
tension  of  studying.  Breaks  are  an 
important  part  of  the  study  process  and 
should  be  taken  regularly. 

So,  it  would  seem,  studying  isn't  as  bad 
as  many  think  it  is.  Especially  if  you  study 
properly,  in  the  right  places,  with  the  right 
people  and  take  plenty  of  breaks!

Preparing  for  class  outside  the  library  for  a  change  of 
pace  can  be  just  as  beneficial  as  studying  indoors. 


Taking  time  out  to  give  a  photographer  a  smile  can  be 
a  welcome  distraction  from  studying.

WHOLE  LOTTA  SHAKIN'  GOING  ON! 


They  promised  to  do  a  "whole  lotta 
shakin',"  and  they  didn't  let  their  audience 
down. 

The  cast  of  Whole  Lotta  Shakin '  con- 
tinued to  thrill  Mud  Island  audiences  last 
summer — its  second  in  a  row — with  a  few 
changes  in  the  cast,  composition,  and 
choreography  of  the  show. 

Shakin',  the  first  musical  highlighting 
Memphis'  music  heritage,  trimmed  its 
original  cast  of  24  members,  12  men  and  12 
women,  down  to  20.  Unlike  its  premier 
run,  all  cast  members  in  the  updated  show 
had  a  Memphis  connection.  Artistic  Dir- 
ector Keith  Kennedy  called  the  switch  a 
"tremendous  help."  "These  talented  young 
people  are  key  products  of  the  culture  the 
show  is  about,"  he  said.  He  also  said  the 
change  helped  the  cast's  morale. 

According  to  Marcquinne  Charles,  dance 
director,  a  student  at  Memphis  State's  Law 
School,  and  an  original  cast  member:  "The 
energy  of  the  show  is  much  different,  much 


greater.  People  from  Memphis  in  the  cast 
now  care  about  the  show  and  have  a  good 
time  with  it.  There's  more  support  among 
cast  members  and  from  the  administration." 

"The  beginning  of  the  show  was  histor- 
ically accurate,  but  for  the  general  public  it 
wasn't  entertaining  in  a  showbiz  kind  of 
way,"  said  the  returning  music  director 
George  Caldwell.  It  was  shortened  from  1 2 
minutes  to  a  four  minute  medley.  Vocal 
click  tracks,  recordings  of  the  songs,  were 
made  in  a  studio  and  played  behind  the 
singers  to  reinforce  the  sound  during  the 
show.  This  cleared  up  the  sound  problems, 
which  detracted  from  the  performances 
during  the  first  run. 

Gloria  Robinson,  another  veteran  of  the 
cast  and  student  at  Memphis  State,  said 
the  show  "changed  a  whole  lot!" 

"The  biggest  difference  is  the  familiness 
of  the  cast.  Everybody's  enjoying  what 
they're  doing,"  she  said.  The  biggest 
difference  for  Robinson,  however,  was  her 


solo  "Gee  Whiz,"  sung  by  Memphis  State's 
Lori  Brown  in  the  original  show.  Robinson 
is  a  veteran  of  USO  shows  and  has 
performed  at  Libertyland  for  two  years. 

A  surprise  addition  to  the  cast  was  16- 
year-old  Kirsten  Kite.  Special  lines  were 
written  into  the  show  to  suit  her  youthful 
demeanor.  Kite  said  her  experiences  among 
older  cast  members  were  "different". 

"You  gotta  adjust  yourself  so  you  can 
get  along  better,"  she  said.  "But  it's  fun.  1 
like  it  better  than  working  with  people  my 
own  age."  She  quickly  added  that  the  cast 
members  tease  her  about  her  size. 

She  also  complained  that  her  friends  at 
school  talked  about  the  show  all  the  time. 
"I  don't  like  to  talk  about  it  around  them," 
she  said.  "Teachers  at  Overton  (High 
School)  point  out  my  mistakes  all  the  time. 
When  relatives  come,  my  parents  always 
show  videotapes  of  me,  and  I  go  upstairs  to 
watch  television." 


Tim  Shipman  warms  up  for  the  grueling  practice  ahead  as  other  cast  members 
follow  his  lead.

Frutti."

...and  the  SHAKIN'  continued 


In  the  next  five  years,  Kite  plans  to 
continue  her  showbiz  training  in  Memphis 
State's  commercial  music  program.  Her 
previous  experiences  before  Shakin'  in- 
cluded a  performance  at  the  Westinghouse 
Convention  in  Las  Vegas  and  the  lead  in 
To  Kill  a  Mockingbird  at  Playhouse  on 
the  Square. 

First  timer  Tim  Shipman  said  the  show 
was  a  great  experience.  "It's  a  natural  rush 
to  hear  people  say  'Memphis  is  proud  of 
you.  Thanks  for  what  you're  doing.'  " 

"It's  stretched  me  to  my  limits,"  he 
added.  "I'm  not  that  much  of  a  dancer,  and 
it  made  me  sing  higher  than  I  thought  I  was 
capable  of." 

What  were  the  rewards  of  appearing  in 
the  cast? 

Shipman  won  a  part  in  the  chorus  of 
Pirates  of  Penzance  at  Playhouse  on  the 


Square  in  the  fall.  He  also  got  a  steady  job 
singing  at  Memphis  Memories.  He  called 
the  experience  "invaluable  in  more  ways 
than  one." 

"It'll  keep  me  working  for  the  next  year," 
he  said. 

What  are  the  future  plans  for  the  show? 

Kennedy  said  the  show  could  possibly 
run  in  New  York.  "All  of  that  is  only  pipe 
dreams,"  he  said,  because  it  would  cost 
about  $1.5  million  to  do  it.  "It's  just  now  a 
healthy  adolescent,  but  it  has  potential."

with  students.  But  the  pricetag  most  often 
determines  the  menu.  A  quick  hamburger 
at  Wendy's  goes  for  $1.29  and  may  be 
considered  more  fast-food  survival  than 
an  outing  to  many  students. 

But  the  range  traveling  up  or  down  the 
Strip  is  modest  and  can  go  through  a 
barbeque  at  Little  Pigs  for  $1.79  to  a 
medium-size  pizza  at  Garibaldi's  for  $6.69 
to  $7.75,  depending  on  the  style  of  crust. 
Those  students  not  limited  to  the  campus 
area  can  find  something  to  fit  any  pocket- 
book,  anything  from  the  $1  plus  ham- 
burger to  a  $75  meal  for  two  in  some  of 
the  better  Memphis  restaurants. 

Going  out  for  a  drink  may  suit  even 
more  lifestyles,  and  depending  on  the 
place  and  the  hour,  students  can  find  a 
25c  beer  or  go  high  class  at  $3.50  for  a 
mixed  drink.  Happy  hours  with  two-for 
the-price-of-one  drinks  are  pretty  com- 
mon, if  that's  your  pleasure. 

Video  games  have  captured  a  large 
student  following  and  for  the  addicts  who 
can't  wait  for  a  game  at  the  University 
Center,  there  are  ample   machines  at 


establishments  and  arcades  all  around 
the  town.  Cost:  25c  to  50c  per  game. 
Sound  cheap?  Not  for  a  novice  player! 

The  ever  popular  Saturday  night  movie 
is  not  a  cheap  outing  any  more.  Though  if 
you're  lucky,  you  may  find  just  the  movie 
you  want  to  see  is  showing  at  the  UCorat 
one  of  the  free— or  at  least  inexpensive- 
film  festivals  at  the  library.  Brooks  or 
Dixon  art  galleries.  If  you  MUST  have 
first  run,  it  can  cost  you  up  to  $5  for  a 
night  at  the  movies. 

For  the  sports  enthusiast,  not  only 
does  Memphis  State  offer  a  dazzling 
variety  of  spectator  sports,  but  there  is 
also  plenty  of  time  and  space  for  the  do- 
it-yourselfer.  Swimming,  tennis  and  in- 
tramural sports  are  all  available  to  any 
student.  The  city  sports  scene  is  also 
growing,  though  it  will  cost  you  a  little 
more  to  see  the  Showboats  or  the 
Americans. 

The  exercise  craze  has  hit  Memphis 
State,  just  as  it  has  taken  over  the  rest  of 
the  USA.  Here  the  health  fiend  can  put 
on  an  old  pair  of  sneakers  and  take  a  run 
in  the  park,  or  go  spend  a  fortune  on 
weights,  fancy  sweats  and  running  shoes. 
It  all  adds  up  to  keeping  fit,  and  the  cost  is 
up  to  you. 


Dating  can  go  along  with  any  of  the 
above  or  none  of  the  above.  But  if  you 
want  a  separate  category  for  a  good  old- 
fashioned  honest  to  goodness  date,  try  to 
be  original  and  maybe  invite  that  special 
person  for  a  walk  in  the  rain,  a  house  and 
buggy  ride  at  Overton  (in  season),  or  a 
boat  ride.  The  range  is  limited  only  by 
your  imagination.  Otherwise,  try  just 
hanging  out.  Good  friends  can  make 
anything  seem  like  fun. 

When  all  else  fails,  think  STUDYING. 
Improve  your  mind.  Improve  your  grades. 
Just  think  what  it'll  do  to  your  image.  But 
if  that  turns  you  off,  you  can  always  turn 
on  your  television  set.  No  danger  of 
improving  your  mind.  But  you  might  just 
have  some  fun.

CETA:  Helping  Teenagers  Explore  New  Horizons 


The  World  of  Work  took  on  new  meaning  for  a 
group  of  young  students  last  summer  when  the  Evening 
of  Soul  Foundation  gave  them  a  look  at  the  World  of 
the  Performing  Arts. 

Each  summer  14-to-l  7  year  olds  are  taken  under  the 
wing  of  the  Comprehensive  Employment  Training  Act 
to  learn  job  skills  and  earn  while  learning.  Last  year, 
possibly  the  last  summer  for  the  program  due  to  federal 
budget  cuts,  62  young  people,  recommended  by  their 
schools,  churches  and  the  Tennessee  Department  of 
Employment,  got  their  chance  at  performing  arts  jobs 
and  training.  Everything  from  props  and  scenery 
design  to  writing  and  acting  was  fair  game  for  the 
students  as  they  created  a  final  "graduation"  show. 

"These  young  people  were  offered  a  kind  of 
atmosphere  that  enhances  the  total  child,"  according 
to  Erma  Clanton,  associate  professor  in  theater  and 
communication  arts. 

Fourteen-year-old  Diane  Young  of  Melrose  High 
agreed  with  Miss  Clanton  and  added  that  the  classes 
on  self-awareness  helped  her  become  more  conscious 
of  herself  in  relation  to  others.  Young  said  she  learned 
that  she  "shouldn't  get  upset  because  people  do  things, 
but  keep  your  cool  and  accept  things  as  they  come." 


Another  14-year-old  from  Melrose  said  the  self- 
awareness  classes  helped  her  bring  out  more  of  her 
personality  and  gave  her  a  lot  more  self-confidence. 
She  added  that  the  "world  of  work"  classes  helped  her 
to  learn  how  to  complete  employment  applications  and 
how  to  present  herself  on  job  interviews. 

Seventeen-year-old  Jackie  Jones  of  Fairley  High 
said,  "it  didn't  matter  if  we  got  paid  or  not  because  they 
did  a  lot  of  things  we  really  liked  to  do."  Also,  she  said 
that  they  got  help  in  such  classes  as  English. 

Although  the  atmosphere  was  very  relaxed,  Miss 
Clanton  said  there  were  no  problems  because  the 
young  people  had  a  set  of  rules  to  follow.  Many  people 
were  surprised  to  find  anything  that  involved  dancing 
and  acting  so  well  organized,  she  added. 

The  relaxed  atmosphere  allowed  the  students  to  play 
a  major  role  in  the  type  of  show  to  be  done,  and  the 
themes  used  related  to  the  students' lives  in  some  way 
and  had  a  solution,  Clanton  said. 

"Most  of  the  students  were  religion-conscious,  but 
some  wanted  to  leave  the  church  and  go  out  into  the 
world.  We  wrote  a  play  that  involved  this  theme,"  said 
Clanton.  The  play  they  staged  last  summer,  "Ordinary 
People",  was  based  on  the  story  of  the  prodigal  son. 

— Donneshia  Owens 


Matrice  Russell,  a  grateful  CETA  participant,  presents  a  gift  of  appreciation  from  the 
group  to  Erma  Clanton,  director  of  the  program  and  an  associate  professor  at  theatre  of 
Memphis  State. 

Tonya  Carruthers  mournfully  watches  the  "Prodigal  Son  "as  he  heads  for  the  bright  lights 
of  New  York  City.

Rosalind  Nichols  sings  of  the  reasons  why  "None  but  the 
Righteous"  shall  see  God. 

As  the  toast  of  New  York,  the  "Prodigal  Son,"  played  by 
Thomas  Martin,  enjoys  the  fruits  of  the  fame  he  so  actively 
sought. 


In  the  finale,  the  cast  tings  about  how  the  problems  they  portrayed  are  those  faced  everyday  by  "Ordinary  People"  and  celebrates  the  "Prodigal  Son's"  return.

"Energetic  to  Elegant" 


Since  MSU  has  the  advantage  of  beinga 
relatively  large  school,  one  can  see  a  wide 
variety  of  exciting  fashions  on  campus  and 
in  the  classroom.  Most  people  like  to  take 
popular  items  and  create  their  own  looks. 
Personal  style  is  usually  determined  by 
one's  personality  and  individual  lifestyle, 
so  there  is  no  "standard"  code  of  dress  at 
MSU.  Fashions  range  from  elegant  to 
trendy  to  very  casual. 

For  winter  wear,  dark  colors,  especially 
blacks  and  grays,  seem  to  be  popular. 
Women's  suits  sport  longer  jackets  as  well 
as  padded  shoulders  and  cinched  waists. 

This  winter's  biggest  trend  is  accessor- 
izing. Handbags,  shoes,  belts  and  scarves 
add  splashes  of  color  to  the  darks  and 
neutrals.  Red,  yellow  and  teal  are  hot 
colors  for  accessories  this  year.  Large 
earrings  and  bold  metallic  jewelry  add 
drama  to  simple  suits  and  sweater  dresses. 

More  casual  looks  include  sweats,  jump- 
suits and  cropped  jeans.  The  "Flashdance" 
look — layers  of  sweatshirts  (often  torn), 
tee-shirts  and  legwarmers — is  extremely 
popular  and  practical  for  cooler  weather. 
Striped  baggy  jeans  are  the  latest  look  in 
ladies'  casual  wear.  For  a  fun  change  of 
pace  close-fitting,  mid-calf  length  jeans  are 
worn  with  heels  and  colored  hose. 

Fashion  at  MSU  doesn't  stop  in  the 
women's  department.  Men's  clothing  is 
also  moving  away  from  the  ultra-preppy 
styles  to  a  more  sophisticated,  tailored 
look.  Sportswear  separates  are  topping 
fashion  lists  this  winter.  Tailored  slacks  are 
seen  under  bulky  sweaters  or  tab-collared 
shirts  in  bold  colors.  Tweed  is  a  definite 
frontrunner;  a  tweed  jacket  is  almost  a 
"must  have." 

Men's  casual  looks  this  winter  center 
around  more  neutral  colors.  Camoflauge- 
patterned  pants  and  jackets  are  big  again 
and  jeans,  as  always,  are  also  high  on  the 
list.  Pinstripes  and  black  denim  are  new 
treatments  of  the  tried-and-true  blue  jeans. 

Upcoming  spring  fashions  will  have  a 
dramatic  appeal.  The  biggest  single  item 
this  spring  will  be  the  chemise  and  similar 
waistless  styles.  For  optimum  versatility 
they  may  be  belted  or  worn  loose.  Look  for 
bright,  neon  pastels  and  white  cotton. 
Loose,  unstructured  jackets  and  longer, 
fuller  skirts  will  be  popular,  as  will  loose, 

Winter  and  spring  have  never  looked 
better  at  Memphis  State!  Just  a  short  walk 
across  campus  will  reveal  the  special  flair 
that  so  many  students  have  for  dressing  to 
suit  their  personalities.

A  New  Adaptation  Starts  the  Season 


The  Memphis  State  University  Theatre 
began  its  1983-84  season  with  a  production 
of  Moliere's  "Tartuffe,"  translated  and 
adapted  for  the  MSU  stage  by  director 
Douglas  J.  Koertge. 

"Tartuffe,"astory  of  religious  hypocracy, 
takes  place  in  Paris  in  1929.  It  focuses  on 
the  plight  of  Oregon  family  who  have 
become  virtual  slaves  to  Tartuffe,  a  shyster 
whose  supposed  religious  piety  has  kept 
the  master  of  the  house  in  the  dark  as  to  his 
true  nature.  However,  the  other  members 
of  the  household  see  Tartuffe  for  what  he 
really  is  and  plot  to  expose  him.  Through  a 
chain  of  events  that  has  the  audience 
screaming  for  Tartuffe 's  blood  by  the  last 
minutes  of  the  play,  the  villain  is  seen  by  all 
for  the  snake  he  is.  But  just  when  ill-gotten 
victory  appears  to  be  his,  it  is  snatched 
away  and  he  learns,  all  too  well,  that  crime 
doesn't  pay. 

Besides  giving  its  audiences  fine  serio- 
comic entertainment  by  a  capable  cast, 
"Tartuffe"  was  also  an  elegant  visual  treat. 
Jan  Chambers,  making  her  debut  as  the 
MSU  Theatre's  scenic  designer,  created  a 
set  which  contributed  greatly  to  the  rich 
1920  Parisian  atmosphere.

The  Studio  Theatre 
Is  Smaller  Only  In  Size 


The  MSU  Studio  Theatre,  training  ground  for  graduates 
working  toward  advanced  degrees  and  a  showcase  for  smaller 
productions,  opened  its  1983-84  season  with  a  production  of 
William  Inge's  "Bus  Stop". 

Directed  by  graduate  assistant  Christie  Bowles,  "Bus  Stop"  is 
the  story  of  several  bus  passengers  stranded  in  a  diner  in  a  small 
town  outside  of  Kansas  City.  Even  though  the  audience  is  allowed 
glimpses  into  the  lives  of  all  the  passengers,  the  action  centers 
around  the  turbulent  romance  of  Cheri,  a  singer  and  dancer  in  a 
sleazy  nightclub,  and  Bo  Decker,  a  belligerent,  but  insecure 
cowboy.  As  the  story  unfolds,  we  learn  Cheri  has  been  virtually 
kidnapped  by  Bo  and  they  are  en  route  to  his  ranch,  much  to  her 
dismay.  But  as  the  play  progresses,  we  discover  that  Bo  is  much 
more  insecure  than  he  appears  and  Cheri,  Originally  unsure  of  her 
feelings  for  Bo,  cares  more  for  him  than  she  thought. 

Besides  the  outstanding  direction  and  cast  performance  in  this 
production,  which  has  been  said  to  rival  the  fall  Main  Stage 
production  in  excellence,  graduate  assistants  Scott  Bowden's 
scene  design  and  Robin  Gail  Jackson's  Costumes  were  also  a 
tremendous  attribute  to  the  look  and  feel  of  the  play.

MSU  Theatre  Season  Leaps  Forward 

With  "Strider" 


"Strider,"  a  play  with  music  by  Mark  Rozovshy  based  on  a 
story  by  Leo  Tolstoy,  was  a  1983-84  MSU  Theatre  production 
which  compelled  audiences  to  use  their  imaginations.  For  those 
who  attend  shows  expecting  the  entire  world  to  be  painted  out  for 
them  with  sets,  props,  and  costumes,  "Strider"  was  quite  a  shock. 
We,  the  audience,  were  taken  through  Russian  countryside,  city 
streets,  and  lavish  apartments,  decorated  only  by  the  barest  of  sets 
and  props,  the  rest  provided  courtesy  of  our  own  imagination. 

"Strider"  is  simply  the  story  of  the  birth,  life,  and  death  of  a 
horse.  However,  Strider  was  born  a  piebald,  considered 
undesirable  in  a  horse.  It  is  this  fact  which  separates  him  from  the 
other  horses  and  causes  him  to  lose  Swan,  his  only  true  love.  After 
a  few  years  of  glory  in  the  city,  Strider  returns  to  his  birthplace, 
old  and  worn,  to  become  an  object  of  scorn  to  the  other  horses  and 
to  eventually  be  killed  by  his  master. 

However,  "Strider"  is  more  than  just  a  depressing  horse  story. 
Through  Strider's  thoughts  we  can  draw  some  very  true 
conclusions  about  man's  treatment  of  anyone  or  anything  different 
—  and  the  tragic  results  it  can  bring  about. 

Directed  and  staged  by  Keith  Kennedy  and  Susan  Chrietzberg, 
"Strider"  possesses  a  large  cast  with  many  performers  who  took 
on  double  roles.  Also  noteworthy  was  Dirk  Kuyk's  lighting  design 
which  gave  the  simplistic  set  great  versatility.

Musicians  Offer  Lively  Schedule 


From  Traditional  to  Contemporary, 
Sounds  of  Music  Fill  the  Campus 


The  Department  of  Music  at  Memphis 
State  offers  a  plethora  of  traditional,  con- 
temporary and  regional  musical  presen- 
tations throughout  the  calendar  year. 

Student  and  faculty  recitals  are  virtually 
a  weekly  event  during  the  academic  year, 
but  a  fine  program  of  special  presentations 
by  the  department's  bands,  choral  en- 
sembles and  other  groups  provides  musi- 
cal fare  fit  for  any  ear. 

One  special  presentation  during  the  fall 
term  was  a  performance  of  "Don 
Pasquale"  by  the  Opera  Theatre  at  MSU. 
Thomas  Machen  was  artistic  director  and 
Robert  Griffith  music  director  for  this 
three-act  opera  written  by  Gaetano 
Donizetti  and  Giovanni  Ruffini.  The 
production  was  staged  and  performed  by 
undergraduate  and  graduate  music  majors 
with  scenic  and  lighting  design  by  Alex 
Jankowski  and  costume  design  by  Kris 
Hanley.  Opera  Memphis,  the  community 
opera  company,  provided  assistance. 

Another  annual  event  of  note  is  the 
Visiting  Artist  Recital.  This  fall's  presen- 
tation was  mezzo-soprano  Marilyn 
Jewett,  accompanied  by  Allison  Nelson 
at  the  piano. 

Among  jazz  performances, were  those 
by  the  MSU  Jazz  Singers,  Bill  Bastian, 
director;  Blue  Ascendance,  Gary  Topper, 
director;  Southern  Comfort  Jazz  Ensem- 
ble with  Memphis  saxophonist  Fred  Ford, 
and  the  Birdland  Repertory  Company, 
Tom  Branch,  combo  leader.  These  jazz 
presentations  were  part  of  the  Fall  Jazz 


IV  and  the  Annual  Homecoming  Jazz 
Concert. 

Performances  were  also  presented  by 
the  Memphis  State  String  Quartet,  Uni- 
versity Orchestra,  Brass  Quintet,  Uni- 
versity Wind  Ensemble,  Percussion  En- 
semble, Memphis  State  Woodwind 
Quintet  and  the  several  chorus  ensembles 
at  MSU 

Also  charming  the  ears  of  the  Memphis 
State  community  were  The  University 
Singers,  a  highly  select  Choral  ensemble 
under  the  direction  of  Dr.  John  Cooksey. 

Membership  in  the  group  of  approxi- 
mately 65  voices  is  open  through  audition. 
Diversity  in  its  musical  offerings  is  a  goal 
of  the  Singers,  who  perform  primarily  at 
University  and  community  functions,  al- 
though the  group  does  a  Spring  tour  to 
promote  the  University  throughout  the 
region. 

The  Singers  have  received  many  honors, 
including  first  place  position  at  the 
Overton  Square  Christmas  Choral  Con- 
test, and  the  opportunity  to  perform  for 
the  Tennessee  American  Directors'  As- 
sociation/ Tennessee  Music  Educators' 
Convention  in  both  1982  and  1983. 

The  University  Singers  also  performed 
for  the  Music  Educators'  National  Con- 
ference-Southern Division  in  Louisville, 
and  received  a  standing  ovation.  The 
group  performed  as  backup  singers  for 
Barry  Manilow  in  his  Memphis  Concert, 
1982,  and  served  as  his  hosts  at  a  workshop 
Manilow  presented  at  Memphis  State; 


The  Singers  are  at  their  peak  for  the 
Christmas  holiday  season  when  they  are 
featured  in  an  annual  Christmas  concert. 
Music  in  the  repertoire  includes  a  variety 
of  secular  literature  as  well  as  spirituals 
and  lighter  pieces  for  the  performances. 

Another  large  choir  of  approximately 
70  persons,  is  the  Oratorio  Society, 
composed  of  Memphis  State  University 
students  and  faculty  together  with  mem- 
bers of  the  Memphis  community. 

Dr.  Walter  Wade  directs  the  group 
which  performs  large  choral  works  such 
as  Haydn's  "Lord  Nelson  Mass"  and  the 
Faure  "Requiem."  The  group  holds  re- 
hearsals each  Monday  evening  during  the 
academic  year. 

The  MSU  Men's  and  Women's  Choir 
is  a  unique  organization  which  offers  the 
chance  to  perform  a  wide  variety  of 
music.  This  group  is  open  to  both  the 
experienced  musician  and  the  interested 
amateur. 

Designed  primarily  for  non-music  ma- 
jors, the  Women's  Choir  was  conducted 
this  year  by  Jules  Mercier  with  Bill  Welsh, 
accompanist.  The  Men's  Choir  is  con- 
ducted by  Dr.  John  Cooksey  with  John 
Goodwin,  accompanist.  Sandra  A. 
Morrow  and  Margie  L.  Winter  are  co- 
presidents  of  the  Women's  Choir;  Alan 
Crone  is  president  of  the  Men's  Choir. 

Since  their  beginning  in  1980,  these 
two  choirs  have  grown  to  some  45 
members  in  each  group.  This  newest  of 
the   choral   groups  at    Memphis   State 


46      Student  Life 


offers  many  opportunities  for  students  to 
expand  their  musical  and  personal  hori- 
zons as  well  as  to  promote  the  University 
throughout  the  Memphis  community. 

Gospel  music  is  a  popular  regional  spe- 
cialty which  is  performed  by  the  Memphis 
State  Gospel  Choir. 

Open  to  all  students,  this  group  offers 
the  opportunity  to  perform  contemporary 
gospel,  spirituals  and  gospel  hymns.  Once 
a  member  of  the  MSU  Gospel  Choir,  a 
student  may  audition  for  the  Show  Choir 
whose  members  are  selected  from  the 
broader  group. 

Director  of  the  MSU  Gospel  Choir  is 
Ms.  Lulah  Hedgeman. 

Highly  specialized  music  is  the  bill  of 
fare  for  the  Camerata  Singers,  a  small, 
select  group  of  students. 


This  choir  is  directed  by  Ms.  Konnie 
Saliba  and  performs  primarily  medieval 
and  renaissance  music.  Its  annual  high- 
light is  a  December  presentation  co- 
sponsored  by  the  Student  Activities 
Council:  the  Memphis  State  Christmas 
Madrigal  Dinner. 

The  1983  Madrigal  Dinner(two  nights) 
was  held  in  the  University  Center  Multi- 
purpose Room  which  was  converted  into 
a  13th  century  English  manor.  Before  a 
backdrop  of  "tapestries,"  two  members 
of  the  Camerata  Singers  served  as  lord 
and  lady  of  the  manor  with  the  rest  of  the 
chorus  taking  roles  of  English  gentry  in 
an  entertainment  open  to  students  and 
the  public. 

The  dinner  begins  as  the  Camerata  Singers 
offer  a  processional  and  make  a  wassail 


toast  and  song.  Banners  and  pewter  adorn 
the  tables,  and  diners  represent  towns- 
people visiting  the  manor  house  for  the 
holiday  celebration.  A  traditional  dinner 
of  choice  prime  rib  or  Cornish  hen,  fresh 
fruit  and  "wassail"  precedes  a  flaming 
plum  pudding  dessert. 

During  the  meal,  the  Camerata  Singers 
wander  through  the  ballroom  singing 
songs  and  chatting  with  the  guests. 

After  dinner,  the  singers  return  to  the 
main  stage  for  a  45-minute  concert  of 
14th,  15th  and  16th  century  music  from 
Germany,  France,  Spain  and  England. 
Accompanied  by  the  Collegium  Winds, 
the  Singers  intensify  the  authenticity  of 
the  evening  by  performing  to  instruments 
popular  during  the  period:  the  recorder, 
the  gamba,  bells  and  tambourines. 


Ready  to  perform  their  speciality,  13th  to 
15th  century  music,  the  Camerata  Singers 
use  renaissance  and  don  medieval  attire  to 
heighten  the  effect.  Amajor  project  is  the 


annual  Christmas  Madrigal  Dinner  which 
begins  with  a  processional  and  wassail 
toast  and  proceeds  to  an  elaborate  tra- 
ditional Yuletide  meal.

MSU  MARCHING  BAND 


Deranged  is  only  one  of  the  many 
terms  used  to  describe  the  240  people  who 
masochistically  marched  two  long  hours 
every  weekday  during  football  season. 

The  members  of  the  marching  band 
convened  on  Memphis  State's  campus 
almost  two  weeks  before  classes  started. 
During  band  camp,  the  students  marched 
five  to  seven  hours  a  day  and  spent  three 
hours  in  an  indoor  rehearsal.  After  school 
started,  the  band  practiced  two  long 
hours  every  weekday,  as  many  of  the 


residents  of  Robison  and  Hayden  Halls 
can  verify.  Whenever  the  band  people 
took  up  their  weapons  and  attacked  the 
practice  field,  Dr.  Sidney  McKay  and 
Mr.  Arthur  Theil,  the  band's  directors, 
could  be  seen  (and  heard)  teaching  the 
mad  mob  a  new  half-time  show. 

Last  season,  the  band  performed  five 
different  half-time  shows.  Their  first  show 
consisted  of  "Star  Wars"  themes  and  the 
"Ewok  Celebration  Song.'"  The  band 
saluted  the  arrival  of  the  Egyptian  Art 


Show  at  the  MSU  Art  Gallery  by  learning 
a  special  Egyptian  show  which  opened 
with  "Aida"and  closed  with  "King  Tut." 
The  band  also  learned  a  show  in  honor  of 
Memphis  Music  for  the  homecoming 
football  game.  "Gotta  Get  to  Memphis," 
Elvis'"Memphis"and  "Love  Me  Tender," 
and  "Greatest  Love  of  All"  were  some  of 
the  songs  performed  during  the  MSU/ 
Southern  Mississippi  game. 

Each  year,  the  MSU  Band  hosts  the 
Mid-South   Invitational   High  School 


The  Mighty  Sound  of  the  Souths  last  half-time 
show  was  one  of  their  most  dazzling  and  creative! 
The  show  opened  with  the  circus  song  (Thunder 
and  Blazes).  The  Bengal  Lancers  put  down  their 
flags  and  displayed  a  beautiful,  multi-colored 
maypole.  After  a  concert  tune,  the  band  performed 
a  percussion  feature,  Carnival.  The  show  ended 
with  Greatest  Love  of  All  as  arranged  by  a 
member  of  the  band 

Freshman  saxophone  player  Jeff  Davis  exhibits 
one  of  the  many  fashions  and  trends  that  helped 
marchers  stay  cool  during  band  camp. 

Clarinet  player  Gary  Buss  concentrates  on  his 
upcoming  performance. 


52      Band 


The  Mighty  Sound  of  the  South 


Many  marchers  just  can't  stand  the  pre- 
game  pressure!  Even  though  members  often 
wonder  why  they  wade  through  mud  and 
brave  the  wind  and  rain  on  the  practice 
field,  the  excitement  felt  as  Saturday  and 
game  time  roll  around  usually  make  up  for 
all  the  work  into  practice.  Mellophone 
player  Dan  McKee  doesn't  let  the  pressure 
of  a  performance  dampen  his  spirits. 
Saxophone  players  Leslie  Bitner  and 
Angela  Barr  break  from  their  deep  con- 
centration on  their  performance  the  minute 
they  see  a  camera. 


Last  years'  officers  were: 
Mel  Northsworthy  President 
John  Langham    Vice  President 
Sheri  Smith  Secretary 
Scott  Little  Treasurer 
Beth  Armstrong  Librarian 
Elected  as  class  reps  were: 
Bob  Seay  &  Carol  King  Seniors 
Kenny  Loyd  &  Cheri  Theil  Juniors 
Tim  Walker  &  Kenneth  Mealer  Sophomores 
David  Graves  &  Carla  Andreas  Freshmen 


Marching  Contest  at  the  Liberty  Bowl. 
Twenty  high  school  bands  came  from 
Mississippi,  Arkansas,  Kentucky,  and 
Tennessee  to  compete  for  "The  World's 
Largest  Trophy,"  that  went  to  the  first 
place  band.  The  Reserve  Grand  Champion 
and  the  Grand  Champion  bands  from  the 
contest  marched  the  pre-game  and  half- 
time  shows  at  the  MSU/Tulane  game. 

Most  of  the  music  and  drills  used  by 
the  band  were  composed  and  drawn  by 
the  graduate  assistants  Ken  Geise, 
Rhendle  Millen,  and  Marty  Courtney. 
Lenore  Thomas  helped  the  Bengal  Lancers 
prepare  their  drills  during  band  camp, 
and  also  helped  coordinate  the  flag  corps' 
show  during  the  season.  George 
Schneider,  a  senior  mellophone  player, 
composed  an  arrangement  of  "Greatest 
Love  of  All,"  which  was  used  as  a  closer 
for  several  shows. 

The  Mighty  Sound  of  the  South  per- 
formed a  pre-game  and  half-time  show  at 


every  home  game  (with  the  exception  of 
the  Tulane  game),  and  marched  at  the 
Alabama,  Vanderbilt,  and  Mississippi 
State  away  games.  Some  other  songs  that 
the  band  performed  included  "Thunder 
and  Blazes"  (which  was  highlighted  by 
two  unicyclists  several  jugglers),  "In  the 
Stone,"  and  "I  Goto  Rio". 

Of  course,  band  does  not  live  on  march- 
ing alone.  The  Band  Alumni  Association 
held  a  dance  for  the  MSU  Band  at  the 
Schlitz  Brewery  Ballroom.  There  were 
also  fun  and  thrills  had  by  all  at  the 
annual  band  banquet.  This  year's  mad 
meal  was  held  at  the  Hobby  Hills  Country 
Club. 

Although  the  band  suffered  from  severe 
financial  cutbacks,  last  year  proved  to  be 
a  prosperous  year  for  the  band.  Cheri 
Theil,  one  of  the  field  commanders, 
remarked,  "This  year's  band  is  better 
than  last  year's.  Most  of  the  band 
members'  attitudes  are  a  lot  better  this 
year".  The  band  was  elated  to  learn  that 
trumpet  section  leader  Mike  Yopp  had 
decided  to  tie  the  knot.  Mr.  Yopp  was 
married  on  October  21st,  or  "the  Friday 
of  the  open  weekend  before  the  Vandy 
game"  as  most  members  remembered  it. 
Each  year,  the  band  elects  officers  and 
class  representatives  to  help  Dr.  McKay 
make  some  decisions  involving  the  band. 
The  members  of  the  Mighty  Sound  of 
the  South  hold  many  memories  of  the 

1983  marching  season.  They  will  never 
forget  practicing  in  the  cold  October  rain; 
the  MSU/ Alabama  game  where  they 
were  herded    10  people  to  8  seats;  the 

death  of  Carla  Andreas' Toyota  Corona; 

and  the  pre-game  fireworks  at  the  first 

football  game  that  scared  the  dickens  out 

of  the  unsuspecting  freshmen.

During  the  two  long,  hot,  torturing  weeks  of  band  camp  last 
August,  the  band  members  marched  endless  hours  in  the  blazing 
sun.  Sun  tans  were  everywhere  along  with  one  dominant  feeling 
among  the  marchers-THIRST!  The  band  provided  soft  drinks 
for  the  students  as  they  practiced  their  hearts  away  on  the 
practice  field  by  the  field  house.  Angela  Barr,  having  survived

;A  nd  A II  That  Jazz  " 

MSU's  Own  Radio  Station 
Moving  Into  Live  Reports 


"All  That  Jazz"  is  more  than  just  music 
to  WSMS  ears.  It  is  the  motto  of  the 
Memphis  State  radio  station,  which  began 
brodcasting  with  an  all-jazz  format  in 
1979. 

The  overall  format  remains  primarily 
jazz,  but  has  grown  to  include  such  special 
features  as  Tiger  football,  basketball  and 
baseball  home  games.  Lady  Tiger  home 
games  and  live  broadcasts  of  musical 
presentations  from  Harris  Auditorium. 
Other  live  coverage  includes  7:30  to  9  a.m. 
traffic  reports  which  concentrate  on  campus 
parking  conditions  (and  who  doesn't  need 
it?),  The  Miss  MSU  Pageant  and  all  Metro 
Tournament  basketball. 

Live  gospel  music  by  the  Spirit  of 
Memphis  Quartet  is  featured  Sunday 
mornings  between  8  and  9  a.m.,  and  a 
special  feature,  "Tell  It  Like  It  Is"  is  aired 
three  times  daily  with  students  giving  their 
opinions  on  important  topics  of  the  day. 


It  takes  a  lot  of  technical  know-how  to  keep  those 
broadcasts  going  as  Tom  Mann  has  learned. 


58     wsms 


Approximately  40  students  are  involved 
in  the  operation  of  the  station  with  an 
additional  10  who  work  out  of  the  news 
department  in  the  Meeman  Journalism 
Building.  The  station  news  is  fed  directly 
from  the  newsroom  to  the  station  in  the 
Theatre  and  Communication  Arts  Building. 

The  primary  concern  of  the  station  now  is 
to  increase  the  power,  and  thus  the  coverage 
and  signal  quality  of  the  station,  according 
to  General  Manager  Bob  McDowell. 

"Presently  we  are  investigating  several 
alternatives  -  including  the  possibility  of 
building  our  own  400  foot  tower  in  Shelby 
County  and  increasing  our  power  from  250 
watts  to  10,000,"  McDowell  said 

"This  change  will  increase  our  coverage 
from  a  7  miles  radius  to  an  approximate  20 
miles,"  he  said,  "and  will  greatly  improve 
our  signal  quality." 


Where's  that  album?  No  more  doubts  as  Amy  George 
carefully  files  them  away  and  selects  more  music  for 
Memphis  State's  radio  station,  WSMS. 


Lisa  Hatchett  plots  a  few  surprises  for  WSMS 
listeners.  The  station  is  moving  into  more  news  and 
live  reports  this  year. 


Tim  Brown  keeps  the  discs  spinning  in  keeping  with

Campus  News Hot  off  the  Press 

Daily  Helmsman  Covers  the  World 
With  Student  Reporters,  Editors 


The  presses  roll  and  Memphis  State's  latest  news  hits  the 
stands  in  the  Helmsman.  This  free  student  paper  is  published 
Tuesday  through  Friday.  It  brings  information  on  campus 
activities  to  all  students.  The  editorial  staff  includes  an 
Editor-in-Chief,  two  associate  editors,  (one  of  whom  is  also 
the  photography  editor),  a  business  manager,  and  a  General 
Manager — a  new  position  formed  this  year. 

Most  reporters  for  the  Helmsman  are  members  of  the 
Journalism  Department's  Reporting  Class.  Each  reporter  is 
given  a  beat — for  pratical  purposes,  a  building — to  cover  and 
is  responsible  for  reporting  any  activities  occurring  in  that 
building.  If  there  is  a  meeting  of  a  special  committee,  or  a 
student  gathering  (i.e.  a  pep  rally),  a  reporter  is  assigned  to 
cover  it  for  the  Helmsman. 

Writing  these  articles  is  a  requirement  for  the  Reporting 
class,  and  its  instructor  gives  the  articles  to  the  editor.  Each 
member  of  the  class  is  also  required  to  work  in  the  Helmsman 
office  for  at  least  one  hour  per  week. 

According  to  fall  editor  Kathy  Krone:  "We  try  to  be  as 
professional  as  possible,  but  most  of  the  staff  is  inexperienced. 
The  newspaper  is  organized  as  a  learning  experience.  It  gives 
the  journalism  students  an  opportunity  they  might  not  get 
otherwise." 

Not  all  of  the  members  of  the  Helsman  staff,  however,  are 


journalism  students.  Any  MSU  student  may  join  the  staff. 

Producing  a  paper  four  days  a  week  involves  long  hours 
and  dedication,  said  Krone,  who  admits  to  averaging  between 
10  and  15  hours  per  day  in  the  office.  She  said  that  "you 
sacrifice  a  lot,  but  if  you  are  serious  about  journalism,  it  gets 
in  your  blood,  and  the  experience  will  stick  with  you." 

On  the  day  before  the  paper  comes  out,  most  articles  are 
turned  in  by  3:30  p.m.  to  allow  enough  time  for  them  to  be 
typeset  and  laid  out  and  printed.  The  typesetting  is  done  in  the 
Journalism  building,  but  the  paper  is  printed  elsewhere.  At  2 
a.m.  a  courier  picks  up  the  flats,  from  which  the  paper  is 
printed,  drives  70  miles  to  New  Albany,  Miss.,  where  the 
9,500  copies  are  printed,  and  delivered  to  MSU  by  6:30  a.m. 

Trina  Jones  is  the  General  Manager.  She  considers  herself 
the  "behind  the  scenes  administrator."  Her  responsibilities 
encompass  all  facets  of  the  Helmsman:  advertising,  editorial, 
and  production.  Her  major  job  is  to  be  available  when  needed 
to  give  advice  to  the  editors,  or  to  help  smooth  out  a  problem 
that  may  arise. 

Jones  emphasizes  that  "this  is  a  student  newspaper."  "It  is 
an  educational  tool  for  the  students," she  said.  "They  have  the 
responsibility  of  putting  the  paper  together.  I  am  here  for 
them  if  they  have  any  problems."

The  DeSoto 


Thanks  for  the  Memories 


DeSoto  staff,  front  row  (I  to  r)  -  Mary  Lynn  Caldwell,  Melissa  Robbins,  Sondra  Lewis,  Nike  Olubadewo,  Nelson  Bonds;  back 
row  (I  to  r)  -  Chuck  Schrimsher,  Chris  Carothers,  Steve  Norman,  Ethan  Porter,  Cedric  Woodson. 


"What  is  the  DeSoto?" 

Ask  that  question  to  any  number  of 
students  and  the  odds  are  that  one  will  get 
answers  ranging  from  "The  what?"  to 
"Wasn't  he  some  explorer  or  something'.'" 

Well,  yes,  DeSoto  was  some  explorer  or 
something,  but  that  isn't  the  right  answer 
to  this  question.  The  correct  answer  is 
(drumroll,  please). ..the  Memphis  State 
yearbook. 

Why  all  the  fuss  over  a  yearbook?  Well 
to  start  with  the  obvious,  the  DeSoto  is  a 
book  of  memories,  most  of  them  good  and 
a  few,  unfortunately,  sad.  Nevertheless,  it 
is  all  the  times  we  can  look  back  on  and 
remember  how  we  felt  at  a  certain  place 
and  time.  The  names,  the  faces,  the 
activities  and   events  it   would   be  a 

challenge  for  any  MSU  student  to  look 
through  the  book  without  finding  some- 
thing that  would  call  up  a  few  special 
memories. 

A  second  important  aspect  of  the  year- 
book is  the  staff.  Whereas  other  student 
publications  on  campus  are  staffed  mainly 
by  journalism  and  English  majors,  the 
DeSoto  has  staff  members  from  all  aspects 
of  the  campus.  For  example,  Jacqueline 


Jones,  fall  editor  for  the  1984  DeSoto,  was 
a  journalism  magazine  major,  but  spring 
editor  Scott  Vanzandt  carries  a  chemistry 
major. 

Third,  since  the  book  is  worked  on  over 
a  great  deal  of  time,  staffers  can  learn 
about  every  aspect  of  publication  from  the 
original  creation  of  ideas  for  the  book  to 
gathering  the  necessary  information  to 
layout  and  paste-up.  Yet,  in  spite  of  the 
lengthy  production  time,  there  is  still  the 
challenge  of  meeting  deadlines  with  work 
to  be  proud  of. 

Finally,  the  best  asset  the  book  possesses 
is  the  fact  that  it  is  a  book  full  of 
information.  Students,  faculty,  admini- 
stration, campus  organizations  and  events 
-  the  DeSoto  has  the  scoop  on  it  all,  both 
facts  that  are  public  knowledge  and  in- 
formation that  is  not  so  well  known. 

The  DeSoto  is  not  what  everyone  thinks 
it  is.  And  thank  goodness!  Who  would 
want  "an  explorer  or  something"  as  a 
yearbook?  —Sondra  Lewis

DORMS:    There's  No  Place  Like  Home 


Aside  from  the  terrors  of  moving, 
the  inconveniences  of  cracker-box 
rooms,  the  loss  of  privacy  because  of  a 
roommate  and  the  constant  cries  for 
any  food  not  warmed  up  in  a  microwave 
for  the  sixth  time,  some  "dormies"  still 
felt  dorm  life  was  all  they  could  ask  for. 
Residents  searched  for  anything  from 
Cap'n  Crunch  posters  to  empty  beer 
bottles  to  give  their  room  a  homey 
(rather  than  homely)  look.  The  1 1 
dorms,  which  ranged  from  the  casual 
simplicity  of  Hayden  Hall  to  the  big 
Hilton  feeling  of  Richardson  Towers, 
housed  2,285  students  this  year. 

For  most  freshmen  from  out  of 
town,  the  first  week  meant  seven  days 
of  suffering  until  they  could  get  home 
for  those  things  the  Residence  Life 
office  did  not  provide:  rugs,  posters, 
dressers  with  adequate  drawer  space, 
comfortable  chairs,  lamps,  food  —  and 
money.  After  the  first  month  of  school, 
most   dorm   rooms  had   reached   the 


minimum  requirements  needed  to  be 
classified  as  a  home  rather  than  a  cell. 

Pam  Riddick,  a  junior  majoring  in 
education,  who  lived  in  Richardson 
Towers  during  the  fall,  liked  the 
conveniences  of  on-campus  living. 
Riddick  enjoyed  always  having  some- 
one around.  "Living  in  a  dorm,  you're 
never  lonely,"  she  said. 

Ann  Spell,  a  sophomore  majoring  in 
public  relations,  resided  in  Smith  Hall 
and  cited  another  plus.  "Living  on 
campus  helps  cut  down  on  parking 
problems.  You  also  meet  a  lot  of 
people  you  wouldn't  meet  if  you 
commuted  or  lived  in  an  apartment." 

According  to  Rawls  Hall's  Laura 
Stickel,  "Home  is  where  the  hot  water 
and  air  conditioner  are."  Stickel 
enjoyed  campus  living  even  though 
Memphis  wasn't  quite  like  Henderson- 
ville. 

While  lacking  home-cooked  meals, 
comfortable   beds,  clean   bathrooms, 


and  well-stocked  refrigerators,  dorm 
residents  had  some  advantages  over 
commuters.  "Dormies"got  a  head  start 
on  parking,  learned  a  good  deal  about 
the  campus,  and  discovered  never-be- 
fore-seen ways  of  conquering  absolute 
boredom. 

Though  there  were  times  when 
residents  may  have  wanted  to  run 
madly  out  of  the  building  and  never  lay 
eyes  on  it  again,  there  were  also  times 
that  made  dorm  life  enjoyable:  short- 
sheeting  the  bed  of  that  guy  who  shaved 
once  a  month  and  never  cleaned  out 
the  sink;  using  a  hair  dryer  to  blow 
baby  powder  under  the  door  of  that 
girl  who  kept  the  floor  up  every  night 
laughing  hysterically  at  "Leave  It  to 
Beaver"  reruns;  spraying  Lysol  on  that 
person  who  always  concocted  the  worst 
smelling  garbage  for  dinner  and  smelled 
up  the  entire  floor  for  a  week;  or  using 
toilet  paper  to  mummify  that  guy  who 

was  always 

—  Steve  Norman 


Junior  Pam  Riddick  collects  tid  bits  from  all  over  to  decorate  her  room  in  Towers 
North.  Her  room,  shared  with  Barbara  Ramey,  depicts  travels  from  Chicago's  St. 
Patrick's  Day  Parade  to  MSU's  Mummy  Mania.  Miss  Riddick's  only  complaint 
about  dorm  life  is  that  the  elevators  frequently  break  down. 

Rene  Jamerson,  physical  therapy  major,  hit  it  lucky  and  got  a  little  moving  help 
from  a  friend,  Todd  Frayser.  making  her  move  into  Rawls  Hall  with  "only  barest 
necessities"  took  more  muscle  power  than  most  newcomers  expected. 


64    Dorm  Life 


Probably  one  of  the  most  valuable  possessions  from  home  is  a 
person's  pillow.  Smith  Hall  resident  Ann  Spell  agrees  with  this  fact 
since  she  travels  by  bus  a  good  deal  with  the  band. 


Laura  Stickel  lived  in  Rawls  Hall  where  she  was  known  for  her  notorious  invasions 
of  her  friends' rooms.  Here,  Miss  Stickel  has  intruded  upon  Trudi  Pruett  who  lived 
down  the  hall  from  her. 

Studying  is  not  one  of  the  more  frequent  habits  of  people  who  live  in  the  dorm. 
Here,  Jamie  Burks  is  caught  "out  of  character"  as  he  studies  for  his  class.

...And Please  the  Crowd,  Naturally 


"We've  Got  the  Beat."  At  least  that's 
what  14  contestants  vying  for  the  Miss 
Memphis  State  title  believed  April  9,  1983 
at  the  University  Delta  Lounge. 

First  place  winner  of  the  title  and  $250 
was  Sharon  Denise  Russell.  Sponsored  by 
Phi  Mu,  Ms.  Russell  is  a  19-year-old 
sophomore  communications  and  broad- 
casting major. 

First  runner-up,  Paula  Everitt,  a  junior 
in  early  childhood  education,  was  self- 
sponsored.  She  won  $150. 

Second  runner  up  was  a  21 -year-old 


senior  majoring  in  fashion  merchandising, 
Cathy  Young.  She  was  sponsored  by  Alpha 
Gamma  Delta.  Miss  Young  won  a  double 
award  of  $100  and  the  title  of  Miss 
Congeniality. 

About  800  people  attended  the  compe- 
tition which  included  three  events:  talent, 
swimsuit  and  evening  gown,  and  personal 
interview. 

Ms.  Russell  won  all  three  events.  Her 
talent  performance  was  a  jazz-acrobatic 
routine  to  Paul  Jabarrei's  "Yankee  Doodle 
Dandy".

Lecture  Circuit  Sparks  Campus 


The  lecture  circuit  at  Memphis  State  has 
been  electric  and  ecclectic,  with  talks 
ranging  from  the  future  of  black  women  to 
life  with  "The  Beav." 

The  Consumer  got  a  fair  share  of  at- 
tention when  consumer  advocate  Ralph 
Nader  hit  campus  last  spring  and  showed 
the  world  that  he  still  hasn't  forgiven  and 
forgotten  General  Motors'  sins.  And  he 
has  added  a  few  other  corporations  to  his 
list  as  he  urged  students  to  get  together  to 
"fight  crimes  in  the  marketplace." 

Nader,  who  took  on  the  auto  industry  in 
his  best-seller  "Unsafe  at  Any  Speed",  won 
a  lawsuit  against  General  Motors  for  in- 
vasion of  privacy,  and  used  the  $425,000 
settlement  to  begin  his  consumer  interest 
movement.  Public  Citizen. 

His  visit  followed  a  March  talk  by 
Shirley  Chisholm,  first  black  woman  elected 
to  Congress,  and  the  first  to  seek  the 
Democratic  nomination  for  the  U.S.  Pre- 
sidency. She  warned  her  audience  that  she 
did  not  like  President  Reagan's  policies 
one  bit  and  urged  a  speedy  return  to  caring 
for  the  poor  and  elderly  who  are  unable  to 
care  for  themselves. 

Moving  out  of  the  political  arena  and 
into  the  private  sector.  Dr.  William  H. 
Masters,  human  sexuality  authority,  told 
students  that  "sex  is  a  natural  function" 
which  improves  as  communication  between 
the  partners  improves.  The  doctor  covered 
a  variety  of  myths  and  misconceptions 
which  cloud  human  sexual  activity  in  his 
March  speech  in  the  University  Center. 


Human  sexuality  expert  Dr.  William  H.  Masters  told 
students  that  sex  is  a  natural  function  which  improves 
as  communication  between  partners  improves. 


Political  activity  was  very  much  in  the 
news  during  the  early  fall  and  the  campus 
was  not  immune  to  campaign  fever.  May- 
oral hopefuls  D'Army  Bailey,  Otis  Higgs, 
Timothy  Mathews  and  L.  A.  "Tony"  Watts 
spoke  Sept.  19.  Although  Mayor  Dick 
Hackett  and  Robert  "Prince  Mongo" 
Hodges  didn't  make  it  to  the  forum,  the 
others  presented  their  platforms  and  tried 
to  point  out  how  they  differed.  Mayor 
Hackett  appeared  later  in  the  year  at  a 
Snack  n  Rap  session. 

Presidential  fever  then  struck,  and  the 
campus  was  treated  to  visits  from  Demo- 
cratic contender,  the  Rev.  Jesse  Jackson 
Nov.  30.  His  speech  had  students  cheering 
as  he  called  for  "a  new  coalition,  a  new 
course  and  a  new  leadership."  A  few  days 
later, former  astronaut  Sen.  John  Glenn 
(D.,Ohio)  made  an  appearance  speaking  of 
his  agriculture  program  as  he  tried  to 
interest  Mid-Southerners  in  his  presidential 
bid. 

Other  astronauts  also  found  the  Memphis 
State  campus  a  powerful  draw,  as  Michael 
Coats  appeared  in  September  to  discuss 
the  space  shuttle  program,  and  Brig.  Gen. 
Charles  Duke,  one  of  the  few  men  ever  to 
set  foot  on  the  moon,  spoke  in  January. 

Governmental  agencies  sent  representa- 
tives to  garner  support  for  programs,  clarify 
issues  and  generally  educate  the  public  on 
how  government  affects  every  life.  Dr. 
Murray  L.  Weidenbaum,  former  chairman 
of  President  Reagan's  Council  of  Economic 
Advisers,  made  an  October  appearance  to 
describe  an  economic  policy  for  the  1980s, 
and  Sherlene  McCarther  made  a  trip  to 
Memphis  to  recruit  for  the  Peace  Corps. 

The  darker  side  of  governmental  activity 
was  discussed  by  former  CIA  agent  John 
Stockwell  who,  in  a  March  speech,  urged 
the  dismantling  of  that  agency. 

The  lighter  side  of  the  news  also  got  its 
fair  share  of  student  time  and  attention 
with  the  September  performances  of  "The 
Amazing  Kreskin",  billed  as  the  world's 
foremost  mentalist,  followed  in  February 
by  the  one  and  only  Beaver.  Jerry  Mathers, 
who  starred  in  the  popular  television  series, 
"Leave  It  to  Beaver"  found  an  enthusiastic 
audience  ready  to  hear  about  his  life  as  a 
child  star. 

More  specialized  subjects  were  dealt 
with  by  speakers  sponsored  by  a  variety  of 
campus  groups.  The  River  City  Contemp- 
orary Writers'  Series  offered  a  number  of 
lectures  by  authors  and  writers.  Journalists 
heard  Bernard  Kalb,  NBC's  State  Depart- 
ment reporter  talk  on  Freedom  of  Infor- 
mation at  the  annual  FOI  Forum.  And  Dr. 
Robert  Arnot,  a  consultant  to  the  Inter- 


national Olympic  Committee,  spoke  on 
science  and  sports. 

Arts  and  religion  came  into  focus  early 
in  the  school  year  when  The  Divine  Tour  of 
Ancient  Egypt  bowed  in  at  the  University 
Gallery,  bringing  with  it  a  series  of  speakers 


Consumer  advocate  Ralph  Nader  told  students  to 
unite  to  "fight  crime  in  the  marketplace".  Nader,  who 
lambasted  the  American  automobile  industry  in  his 
book  "Unsafe  at  Any  Speed, "is  founder  of  the  public 
interest  organization,  Public  Citizen.  "Nader's 
Raiders"  have  become  a  well  known  consumer  force. 


on  Egypt,  ancient  gods  and  archeology. 
Russian  religious  poet,  Dimitri  Bobyshev, 
also  appeared  to  speak  on  life  and  religion 
in  the  USSR. 

Women  in  Action  featured  Channel  5 
anchorwoman  Brenda  Wood,  city  council- 
woman  Minerva  Johnican,  and  Shelby 
County  government  representative  Clau- 
dette  Nichols  in  a  panel  discussion  of  what 
the  future  holds  for  black  women. 

This  was  but  the  tip  of  the  campus 
iceberg,  for  daily  talks  and  lectures  and 
captured  interested  audiences  on  subjects 
ranging  from  alcoholism  to  defense  policy 
and  from  psychic  phenomenon  to  surviving 
the  Holocost,  completing  the  circuit. 


68     Campus  Speakers 


The  Amazing  Kreskin,  billed  as  the  world's  foremost  mentalist  made  a  campus 
appearance  to  amaze  and  entertain  MSU  students. 


Mayoral  aspirants  D'Army  Bailey  and  Otis  Higgs  came  to  campus  in  the  fall  to 
present  their  platforms  and  explain  how  their  programs  differ  from  that  of 
incumbent  Mayor  Dick  Hackett.  Hackett  made  a  later  visit  to  the  campus  to  speak 
during  a  Snack  n  Rap  session.

Winning  Style  Takes  Spirit  Squad  to  Orient 


Memphis  State's  Spirit  Squad,  composed 
of  mascot,  mike-men,  pompon  squad  and 
cheerleaders,  for  the  second  straight  year, 
took  the  champion's  crown  in  the  National 
Cheerleaders  Association  Collegiate  Cheer- 
leading  competition.  The  squad  showed  its 
winning  style  in  the  arena  and  via  television 
this  year. 

U.S.  Rep.  Don  Sundquist  led  in  praise 
of  their  performance  saying, "...the  MSU 
cheerleaders  have  now  placed  higher  and 
won  more  collegiate  cheerleading  competi- 


tions than  any  other  school  in  the  country. " 
The  group  won  the  crown  in  competition 
with  20  finalists  at  Moody  Coliseum  on  the 
Dallas  campus  of  Southern  Methodist 
University  Jan.  14.  The  complete  routines 
of  the  five  top  winners,  MSU,  Michigan 
State  University,  Clemson  University, 
Louisiana  Tech  University  and  the  Uni- 
versity of  Florida  were  shown  on  national 
cable  television. 

The    MSU    victory    received    farflung 
acclaim,    for    later    that    month,    team 


members  were  invited  to  perform  their 
award-winning  routines  in  Japan  in  a 
three-month  international  festival,  begin- 
ning in  the  spring. 

The  all-expense  paid  trip  to  Kyushu, 
Japan  sends  current  and  former  members 
of  the  squad  to  perform  at  Mitsui 
Greenland,  a  theme  and  entertainment 
complex  similar  to  Disney  World  in 
Orlando,  Fla.

The  rafters  of  the  administration  building 
shook  with  exitement  when  school  officials 
heard  the  news  that  Memphis  State  had 
received  100%  acreditation  in  all  accreditable 
programs  offered  by  the  university.  Memphis 
State  was  the  only  public  university  in 
Tennessee  to  be  so  designated. 

The  campus  recording  studio,  the  pride 
and  joy  of  the  College  of  Communications 
and  Fine  Arts,  continued  to  create  an 
excellent  learning  environment  for  students 
preparing  to  enter  the  competitive  field  of 
music. 

Engineering  students  continued  to  be 
entertained  by  delightful  robots  which  helped 
teach  the  would  be  engineers  about 
automation  and  robotics. 

And  the  school's  academic  standards 
increased,  students  began  spending  more  time 
after  class  in  tutoring  sessions  and  began 
taking  their  lessons  more  seriously. 

Signs  of  change  and  promise  for  the  future 
were  all  around  and  the  news  was  on  the  vine 
—Memphis  State  was  BETTER  THAN  EVER

MSU  Campus  School 


Contrary  to  many  MSU  students'  be- 
liefs, the  Campus  School  in  the  southeast 
corner  of  the  campus  is  not  a  graduate 
school  for  Munchkins.  The  little  people 
who  swarm  about  the  Campus  School  are 
children  in  grades  one  through  six  who 
attend  the  MSU  Campus  Elementary 
School.  This  school  is  the  same  thing asa 
public  school — only  different! 

Children  assemble  for  fun  in  the  sun. 


I  ■    mA  2 


An  early  start  in  computer  training  aids  children  in 
MSU  Campus  School. 


The  Campus  School  is  a  public  school 
that  is  run  under  the  direction  of  the 
MSU  College  of  Education.  Unlike  public 
schools,  enrollment  into  the  school  is  not 
determined  by  district  zoning.  Admittance 
to  the  Campus  School  is  set  according  to 
the  following  factors:  if  the  child  has  a 
parent  on  the  faculty,  if  a  brother  or  sister 
is  in  the  school,  and  if  the  geographic 
position  of  the  child's  home  qualifies. 
Parents  must  request  that  their  child  be 
admitted  to  the  school.  There  are  no 
academic  requirements  for  admittance, 
but  the  dominant  impression  of  the  Cam- 
pus School  is  that  of  a  superior  education. 

The  director  of  the  Campus  School  is 
Mrs.  Peggy  Williamson,  who  was  gradu- 
ated from  Southwestern  at  Memphis. 
The  assistant  director,  Mrs.  Debbie  Men- 
doza,  has  a  degree  from  Memphis  State. 

The  473  children  at  the  school  have 
acquired  a  healthy  familiarity  with  the 
MSU  campus.  They  use  the  field  by  the 


field  house  for  recreation  and  they  also 
use  the  pool  in  the  HPER  Complex  for  a 
swimming  class.  The  classes  at  the  school 
take  tours  of  the  greenhouse  atop  the  Life 
Science  Building  and  they  also  tour  the 
MSU  Art  Gallery. 

There  are  22  faculty  members  at  the 
Campus  School.  Each  one  is  an  accredited 
instructor  and  acts  as  supervising  teacher 
for  students  from  the  College  of  Educa- 
tion. The  MSU  students  operate  in  a 
work/study  program  at  the  Campus 
School.  Several  of  the  faculty  members 
have  degrees  from  Memphis  State. 

Campus  School  is  in  its  71st  successful 
year.  Founded  in  19 12  as  Training  School, 
it  became  the  MSU  Campus  School  in 
1963.  The  lucky  children  who  attend 
Campus  School  enjoy  several  benefits 
found  in  private  schools,  along  with  the 
advantages  of  going  to  a  public  school.

WHO'S  WHO 


Thirty-eight  Memphis  State  students 
were  selected  to  appear  in  the  1983  edition 
of  Who's  Who  in  American  Colleges  and 
Universities .  In  keeping  with  the  established 
traditions,  the  students  were  judged  on  the 
basis  of  their  academic  success,  their 
participation  in  activities  and  organiza- 


tions, and  their  community  involvement. 

The  publication,  which  lists  promising 
young  Americans,  was  founded  by  Pettus 
Randal  in  1934  in  order  to  facilitate  the 
acknowledgement  of  college  students 
throughout  the  country  who  were  recog- 
nized by  both  their  faculty  and  peers  for 


their  outstanding  services. 

In  1983,  as  in  previous  years,  strong 
emphasis  was  placed  upon  the  applicants' 
over-all  contributions;  and  only  those  who 
possessed  the  proper,  well-rounded  char- 
acteristics were  selected  for  inclusion.

ARMY  ROTC 


Providing  practical  experience  in  the  art 
of  organizing,  motivating  and  leading  others 
is  the  aim  of  the  Military  Science  Program. 

There  is  no  military  obligation  for 
enrolling  in  the  Basic  Course.  Students  are 
not  required  to  wear  uniforms  or  attend 
leadership  laboratory.  However,  before 
entering  the  Advanced  Course,  the  Basic 
Course  must  be  completed. 

To  be  eligible  for  the  two-year  Advanced 
Course,  a  student  must  be  enrolled  with  the 
University,  have  full-time  status  with  two 
years  remaining  as  either  an  undergraduate 
or  graduate  and  be  a  U.S.  citizen.  Final 
selection  is  based  on  demonstrated  academic 
performance,  leadership  potential,  a  qualify- 
ing score  on  the  Officer  Selection  Battery  of 
Tests  and  physical  qualifications. 

Semester  field  training  exercises  are 
conducted  over  a  weekend  and  are  an 
extension  of  the  lab.  Students  are  required 
to  attend  a  six-week  Advanced  Camp  during 
the  summer  between  their  two  years  in  the 
Advanced  Course.  It  is  held  at  Fort  Riley, 
Kansas,  a  U.S.  Army  post. 

Students  are  paid  for  the  six  weeks  and 
are  furnished  quarters  and  rations  as  well  as 
transportation  to  and  from  camp,  or  a 
mileage  allowance  for  use  of  their  own 
vehicle.

Air  Force  ROTC 


Accepting  an  Air  Force  ROTC  scho- 
larship translates  into  a  four-year  stint 
in  the  Air  Force  as  second  lieutenant 
with  a  starting  salary  of  $18,500. 

The  four-year  college  scholarship 
covers  all  expenses  except  dorm  fees.  It 
also  includes  $100  a  month  allowance. 

There  is  a  catch.  Students  must  qualify 
on  the  basis  of  achievement,  not  need. 
Requirements  are  ACT  scores  beyond

The  first  two  years  of  honors  work  at 
Memphis  State  University  are  taken  large- 
ly in  what  is  called  the  General  Honors 
Program.  At  this  level,  most  of  the  honors 
classes  are  special  sections  of  lower- 
division  courses  that  fulfill  basic  degree 
requirements,  such  as  the  introductory 
courses  in  English,  philosophy,  education, 
economics,  music,  history,  computer 
programming,  theater,  the  sciences  and 
many  others. 

These  classes  differ  from  regular  classes 
in  several  ways:  (1)  they  are  smaller, 
limited  to  a  maximum  of  15  students;  (2) 


they  are  taught  by  carefully  chosen  faculty 
who  have  the  reputation  of  being  excellent 
teachers  and  scholars;  (3)  there  is  more 
emphasis  on  class  discussion  and  student 
participation;  (4)  the  general  quality  of 
the  class  is  higher,  though  the  quantity  of 
work  done  should  not  differ  greatly  from 
that  in  a  regular  class. 

Also  a  part  of  the  General  Honors 
Program  is  an  introductory  interdisci- 
plinary course  called  The  Honors  Forum. 
It  is  a  freshman-level  course  designed  to 
introduce  bright  students  to  the  many 
intellectual  and   cultural   opportunities 


available  in  a  university  community.  It 
consists  of  a  series  of  lectures,  demon- 
strations, performances  and  concerts  in  a 
variety  of  disciplines. 

Any  student  who  has  completed  a 
minimum  of  six  lower-division  hours  and 
has  a  grade  point  average  of  at  least  3.25 
is  eligible  to  enter  one  of  three  advanced 
honors  tracks,  which,  if  successfully 
completed,  will  lead  to  graduation  with 
honors.  The  first  advanced  honors  track 
available  is  the  departmental  honors 
program  track.  If  a  student  is  majoring  in 
a  department  that  offers  an  honors 
program,  he  may  complete  the  require- 
ments of  that  program  and  graduate  with 
honors  in  a  particular  discipline  (e.g. 
"With  Honors  in  Anthropology"). 

The  second  advanced  honors  track  is 
the  college-level  track.  This  provides 
programs  that  are  college-wide  and  will 
lead  to  graduation  with  honors  in  a 
broader  area  than  those  offered  by 
departments.  At  present  there  are  three 
such  programs:  The  Fogelman  College  of 
Business  and  Economics  ("With  Honors 
in  Business  Administration"),  The  College 
of  Education  ("With  Honors  in  Edu- 
cation"), and  The  University  College, 
which  has  a  joint  program  with  the 
University  Honors  Program. 

The  third  track  is  a  broadly  inter- 
disciplinary program  offered  by  the 
University  Honors  Program  itself  and 
will  lead  to  graduation  "With  University 
Honors".  It  consists  of  a  series  of  junior- 
level  honors  colloquia  and  senior-level 
honors  seminars,  with  the  option  of  a 
senior-level  honors  thesis.

The  Tennessee  Delta  chapter  of  Alpha 
Epsilon  Delta  was  founded  at  MSU  in 
1974.  AED  originated  in  1926  at  the 
University  of  Alabama.  Presently,  there 
are  135  chapters  across  the  nation. 

Alpha  Epsilon  Delta  was  formed  in 
order  to  encourage  and  recognize  excel- 
lence in  premedical  scholarship  and  to 
promote  contacts  and  cooperation  be- 
tween medical  and  premedical  students, 
educators  and  medical  professionals. 

To  be  eligible  for  membership  in  AED, 
students  must  be  enrolled  in  36  hours  in  a 
preprofessional  program.  Students  must 
have  a  3.0  GPA  in  science  and  a  3.3  GPA 
overall. 

AED's  advisors  are  Joanne  B.  Sims, 
Dr.  Thomas  Caplinger  and  Dr.  Peter 
Bridson.  In  February  of  1983,  AED  hosted 
speaker  Dr.  Emil  Freireich,  a  cancer 
specialist  from  the  University  of  Texas 
Cancer  Center,  and  also  promoted 
a  Health  Career  Day  in  March  of  1983.

OMICRON  DELTA  KAPPA 


Omicron  Delta  Kappa  was  created  at 
Washington  and  Lee  University  in  1914 
in  order  to  recognize  individuals  who 
possessed  high  social,  cultural  and  moral 
values  both  in  campus  and  community 
life. 

The  honorary  club  has  long  been 
known  for  its  emphasis  upon  the  whole 
person,  both  as  a  member  of  the 
collegiate  community  and  as  a  contribu- 
tor to  a  better  society  overall.  Prospec- 
tive members  were  required  not  only  to 
possess  high  academic  marks,  but  also 
were  required  to  have  exhibited  the 
qualities  of  leadership  and  responsibility. 

The  MSU  chapter  has  been  especially 
active  in  the  annual  University-wide 
Honors  Assembly.  Judge  Ann  Pugh 
and  Mr.  Charles  Fisher  were  two  of  the 
speakers  that  gave  lectures  to  the  club.

sophisticated  equipment  used  in  the  Commercial  Music 
Program. 

The  recording  areas  feature  a  series  of  636  console  with 
automation,  a  24-track  recorder  with  noise  reduction  and  a 
two-channel  recorder  by  MCI  and  Studer. 

The  control  room  and  studio  playback  are  handled  by  Urei 
Lime  Aligned  monitors.  Some  of  the  other  equipment  in  the 
control  room  and  lab  include:  DBX  compressor/  ltmiters, 
Valley  People  signal  processors  (fer  sure,  fer  sure!),  Eventide 
Harmonizer,  Akai  three-head  cassette  deck,  active  direct  boxes 
by  Countrymen  Associates  and  passive  boxes  with  Jenson 
transformers. 

The  high  quality  microphones  are  from  Neumann, 
Sennehiser,  AKG,  Electro-Voice,  Sure,  Crown  and  others.  The 
electronic  lab  features  a  Moog  3C  synthesizer  with  1 6  sequence 
units,  sample  and  hold,  3M  half-inch  four-track,  and  TEAC1/ 
4  inch  two-track. 

While  musicians  are  a  top  priority,  it  takes  some  sophisticated  equipment  and  people 
with  plenty  of  know-how  to  produce  the  sounds  that  turn  the  audience  on. 


The  Squeaky  Wheels  take  a  break  from  practice  after 
running  through  their  numbers  in  the  studio.  Pictured  are 
Darrell  Johnson,  piano;  Kenneth  Harris,  drums,  and 
Gerrard  McVay,  guitar.  The  "  Wheels"  are  one  of  eight  jazz 
combos  who  brighten  the  scene  in  the  Music  Building. 
Eugene  Rush  is  coordinator  of  the  Division  of  Jazz  and 
Studio  Music  who  wversees  the  bands,  combos  and  vocal 
jazz  offerings. 


Students  in  Commercial  Music  are  prepared  to  work  in  copy 
writing,  artist  management,  accounting,  packaging  display  and 
publishing.  Students  interested  in  music  business  or  recording- 
engineering  can  work  toward  a  Bachelor  of  Fine  Arts  in 
Commercial  Music. 

Those  interested  in  Studio-Live  Performance  or  Composi- 
tion-Arranging may  earn  a  Bachelor  of  Music  degree. 

The  Commercial  Music  program  is  well  aware  of  the  total  needs  of  this  business  of  music, 
and  offers  recording  and  engineering  training  as  well  as  instruction  in  live  performance 
skills.

Library  Sciences 


The  Library  Science  department 
instructs  students  in  how  to  provide, 
organize  and  access  information  for 
the  use  of  the  general  public. 


There  are  currently  20  to  25  stu- 
dents enrolled  in  classes  which  range 
from  management  skills,  bibliogra- 
phy, cataloging  and  classifying  to  th 
use  of  computers  in   retrieval  ar 
storage.  The  graduate  level  program 
offers  a  Master  of  Science  degree  aid 
is  proud  to  point  out  that  all  of  Hs 
graduates  wanting  a  career  in  libraries 
have  readily  found  jobs. 


Library  Science  night  class  undertakes  a  project  in 
bibliography  card  cataloguing.  Rebecca 
Robertson,  left,  and  Joann  Lynn  try  to  concentrate 
on  the  cards  rather  than  the  camera. 


In  two  years,  however,  the  de- 
partment will  be  phased  out  and 
training  in  library  sciences  will  no 
longer  be  available  in  the  city  of 
Memphis  or  in  the  surrounding  areas. 
Low  student  enrollment  was  cited  as 
the  cause. 

In  198 1,  the  department  was  sepa- 
rated from  the  College  of  Arts  and 
Sciences  and  became  an  independent 
program.  As  a  non-accredited  sepa- 
rate division,  it  has  found  problems 
in  maintaining  an  enrollment. 

Library  sciences  training  in  this 
area  will  soon  be  available  only 
through  private  institutions. 


Going  through  the  card  cataloguing  exercise  are,

ROBOTS:  A  touch  of  the  Future 


What  is  a  robot? 

A  robot  is  a  "reprogrammable,  multifunctional  mani- 
pulator designed  to  move  materials,  tools,  parts  or  specialized 
devices  through  variable  programmed  motions  to  accomplish 
a  variety  of  tasks." 

That's  an  awful  lot  to  describe  the  "typical"  robots  seen  in 
"Buck  Rogers"  or  "Lost  in  Space,"  but  that  is  the  technical 
definition. 

Robot  comes  from  the  Czech  word  robota  which  means 
servitude,  work  or  drudgery.  Robots  are  very  useful  in 
welding,  casting,  forming,  transporting  and  inspecting 
materials. 

MSU  has  three  robots,  housed  in  the  Herff  Engineering 


Building.  Two  of  these  are  small  Hero  I  Robots,  that  can  be 
easily  moved  on  any  smooth  surface.  Students  learn  how  to 
program  and  study  the  mechanisms  of  the  Hero  I,  which  cost 
Memphis  State  between  $1500  and  $2500. 

Memphis  State's  other  robot  is  an  Unimate  industrial 
robot.  Its  cost  can  be  as  much  as  $30,000.  However,  the 
engineering  department  received  the  Unimate  as  a  gift  from 
Whirlpool.  It  is  made  by  the  Heath  Company  in  St.  Joseph, 
Mich.  The  Unimate  is  a  stationary  robot  that  can  lift  as  much 
as  275  pounds  with  its  mechanical  arm. 

There  are  very  few  of  the  industrial  type  robots  in  use  in 
Memphis.  Those  here  are  utilized  in  loading,  unloading  and

THE  LONG  ARM  OF  THE  LAW  — Memphis  States  Unimate  robot  has  a  moveable  arm  that 
can  lift  several  hundred  pounds;  however,  the  robot  itself  is  stationary.

The  College  of  Engineering  in  the  Space  Age 


DANGER!  DANGER,  WILL  ROBINSON!  — This  HERO  I  robot  is  one  of  the 
Engineering  Department's  2  robots  used  by  the  students  in  that  college.  The  small  robots 
move  about  freely  and  cost  the  University  $2,000. 


The  HERO  I  robot  is  displayed  to  several  amused  and  interested  students.  The  space-age 
life  seen  in  "The  Jetsons"  and  "Lost  in  Space"  seem  ever  more  closer  while  watching  the 
small  robot  roam  about. 


HERO  I  slightly  resembles  the  R2-D2  droid  in  the  movie  "Star  Wars."  Memphis  State 
traveled  many  lightyears  to  purchase  this  robot  from  the  Jawas!

CHUCALISSA;  The  Past  Revisited 

The  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  helps  bring  back  a  taste  of  days  gone  by 


The  Chucalissa  Indian  Museum  and 
Village  Reconstruction  is  an  off-campus 
facility  of  the  department  of  anthropology 
of  Memphis  State.  The  museum  at  the  site 
houses  an  introductory  slide  show,  case 
exhibits  on  Indians  and  archaeology  of 
Chucalissa  and  the  Mid-South,  and  audio- 
visual programs  covering  special  topics  in 
traditional  Indian  customs  of  the  region. 
Also  in  the  museum  are  offices,  a  reference 
library,  a  laboratory  and  research  collec- 
tions. 

The  annual  Choctaw  Indian  Pow-wow 
was  held  at  the  Chucalissa  Indian  Village 
Aug.  6  and  7.  The  Pow-wow  consisted  of 
Choctaw  dances  and  games  and  the  Green 
Corn  Ceremony.  This  ceremony  is  de- 
scribed by  authorities  at  the  village  as  a 
combination  of  New  Year's,  Thanksgiv- 
ing, Yom  Kippur,  Lent  and  Mardi  Gras. 
This  revival  of  Indian  ceremonies  is  part  of 
an  effort  to  restore  traditional  customs 


and  to  educate  non-Indians  in  Choctaw 
culture. 

The  area  inside  the  village  is  made  up  of 
several  different  structures.  There  are  nine 
reconstructed  huts,  two  enclosed  cases 
exhibiting  archaeological  excavations,  a 
main  mound  with  the  village  chiefs  hut 
atop  it  and  a  village  plaza. 

During  the  summer,  archaeological  ex- 
cavations are  often  in  progress  as  workers 
try  to  learn  more  about  life  in  the  pre- 
historic village.  There  are  several  courses 
in  archaeology  and  museum  work  offered 
at  Chucalissa.  These  courses  are  part  of 
the  department  of  anthropology's  pro- 
gram. Included  in  this  program  are  regular 
college  courses  and  Continuing  Education 
courses  for  members  of  the  general  public 
who  wish  to  learn  more  about  particular 
topics. 

Founded  in  1000  A.D.,  Chucalissa  was 
abandoned  and  reoccupied  several  times 


during  the  next  500  years.  The  1000  to 
1500  people  of  the  final  village,  dating  to 
about  1500  A.D.,  were  capable  farmers, 
craftsmen,  and  artists.  They  lived  in  per- 
manent towns  of  thatch-roofed  houses 
grouped  around  the  town  square,  raised 
their  crops  in  the  river  bottom  below  the 
village,  and  made  their  own  tools  and 
implements  of  daily  life  as  well  as  ceramic 
art. 

The  name  "Chucalissa,"  Choctaw  for 
"abandoned  houses," emphasizes  that  this 
is  an  ancient  town  rather  than  one  still 
occupied  by  its  original  inhabitants. 

Hard  work  on  the  part  of  staff  and 
students  is  evident  at  the  Chucalissa 
Village.  The  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences 
has  successfully  recreated  a  time  period 
that  otherwise  would  have  been  lost  for- 
ever.

Some  of  the  special  events  sponsored  by  Chucalissa 
are  Choctaw  stickball  games,  dancing  and  crafts.  The 
Choctaw  game  of  stickball  is  very  similar  to  lacrosse. 
Such  events  are  a  good  display  of  traditional  Indian 
activities. 


Several  Chucalissa  Indians  take  part  in  a  Pow-wow 
at  the  Chucalissa  Village.  Part  of  the  ceremonies 
includes  the  Green  Corn  ceremony  which  represents 
several  of  the  holidays  celebrated  here  in  America.

THE  COLLEGE 
OF  ARTS  AND  SCIENCES 


Everyone  can  remember  either  hearing 
about  or  being  forced  to  cut  open  a  poor 
frog  in  a  high  school  biology  class.  The 
College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  goes  far 
beyong  the  dissection  of  toads  and 
grasshoppers.  There  are  three  major 
concentrated  areas  from  the  14  depart- 
ments in  the  College  of  Arts  and 
Sciences.  The  Humanities  are  composed 
of  psychology,  mathematics,  philosophy, 
and  foreign  languages.  The  Natural 
Sciences  range  from  biology  to  physical 
geography.  Political  science,  anthro- 
pology, and  economics  are  only  a  few  of 
the  areas  covered  in  the  Social  Sciences. 

The  Master  of  Arts  degree  programs 
are  generally  open  to  anyone  who  has 
completed  the  Bachelor  of  Arts  degree. 
A  Master  of  Arts  can  be  pursued  by 
students  majoring  in  anthropology, 
criminal  justice,  English,  geography, 
history,  philosophy,  political  science, 
psychology,  romance  languages,  and 
sociology. 

The  Master  of  Public  Administration 
degree  programs  are  open  to  students 
with  adequate  preparation  in  the  social 
sciences  or  in  business  courses.  Those 
students  striving  for  this  interdisciplinary 
degree  complete  a  core  curriculum  in 
public  administration  courses  and  a 
concentration  in  General  Public  Ad- 
ministration, Health  Services  Admin- 


istration, Urban  Management  and 
Planning,  Comparative  and  Develop- 
ment Administration,  Public  Policy 
Analysis/  Program  Analysis,  or  Criminal 
Justice  Administration. 

The  Master  of  Science  degree  program 
is  a  non-thesis  degree  designed  for 
students  seeking  in-depth  knowledge  of 
natural  and  mathematical  sciences. 
Doctor  of  Philosophy  degrees  are  offered 
within  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences 
in  the  Biology,  Chemistry,  History, 
Mathematical  Sciences,  and  Psychology 
Departments.

THE  COLLEGE 

OF  COMMUNICATION 

AND  FINE  ARTS 


The  College  of  Communication  and 
Fine  Arts  is  one  of  the  most  active  colleges 
on  campus.  The  College  is  housed  in  the 
Theatre  Building,  the  Music  Building,  the 
Meeman  Journalism  Building,  Jones  Hall, 
the  Art  Building,  and  one  of  the  campus' 
newest  buildings,  the  CFA  Building. 

The  Theatre  Building  contains  theatres 
and  studios  along  with  several  classrooms. 
Many  performances  are  held  in  the  Main 
Stage,  Studio  Theatre,  and  Lab  Theatre 
auditoriums.  The  CFA  Building  is  the 
home  of  dance  studios,  the  MSU  Art 
Gallery,  the  music  studio,  and  the  Mighty 
Sound  of  the  South,  the  MSU  Marching 
Band.  The  Music  Building  provides  an 
escape  for  several  thousand  students. 
Along  with  classrooms  and  offices,  the 
Music  Building  consists  of  the  Harris 
Auditorium  and  rehearsal  classrooms  for 
many  vocal  and  instrumental  ensembles. 
Students  also  flock  to  the  Music  Library 


and  practice  rooms.  The  Music  Library 
offers  scores  and  recordings  of  hundreds 
of  composers' works.  For  $4,  music  majors 
and  non-music  students  alike  can  tickle 
the  ivory  of  the  pianos  furnished  in  these 
practice  rooms. 

The  Meeman  Journalism  Building 
contains  journalism  classes,  the  Helms- 
man, and  the  DeSoto.  Jones  Hall  and  the 
Art  Building  also  have  art-  and  com- 
munication-oriented classes.  The  offices  in 
the  Graphic  Designs  Building  were  moved 
to  Jones  Hall  last  year. 

The  College  of  Communication  and 
Fine  Arts,  directed  by  Dean  Richard 
Ranta  and  Associate  Dean  Raymond  M. 
Lynch,  has  more  than  1 1 5  faculty  and  staff 
members  in  the  college  who  focus  on 
preparing  students  for  studies  in  applied 
arts,  communications,  and  performing 
arts.

Amid  shouts  of  joy,  the  Tiger  football  team  opened 
the  season  triumphantly,  with  a  32-17  trouncing  of 
Ole  Miss.  Over  50,000  fans  jammed  into  the  Liberty 
Bowl  September  third  to  witness  the  team's  first 
winning  effort  against  the  Rebels  in  seven  years. 

The  Tigers  carried  the  momentum  of  this  victory 
through  the  football  season,  and  campus  spirit 
reached  a  feverish  pitch  that  spilled  over  into 
basketball  season.  During  basketball  press  day, 
present  fans  and  future  Tigers  met  their  favorite 
players.  The  Tigers  talked  to  fans  and  gave  out  those 
all-important  autographs  as  proof  of  the  meeting. 

Hackeysack,  the  newest  sports  craze  to  sweep  the 
nation,  also  invaded  campus.  The  Student  Activities 
Council  sponsored  a  three-day  clinic  on  the  University 
Center  Mall,  that  ended  with  what  was  touted  as  the 
first  hackeysack  tournament  in  the  city. 

The  excitement  that  goes  with  the  thrill  of  challenge 
continued  to  build  until  students  could  no  longer 
contain  the  news  that  the  sports  at  Memphis  State 
were  BETTER  THAN  EVER.

This  section  of  the  DeSoto  is  dedicated  to  four 
outstanding  Memphis  State  baseball  players  who  died 
in  two  separate  tragic  accidents. 

Doug  Granger,  Richard  Webster,  Paul  Dunn  and 
Chip  Colbert  will  long  be  remembered  for  the  qualities 
they  brought  to  the  Tiger  baseball  team. 

Doug,  who  died  in  July,  1982  after  an  injury  sustained 
during  a  softball  game,  was  a  member  of  the  1978  team. 
Although  the  Tigers  missed  qualifying  for  the  prestigious 
College  Baseball  World  Series,  Doug  played  a  major 
role  in  the  setting  of  a  team  NCAA  record  for  hitting, 
and  personal  NCAA  and  MSU  records.  These  records 
include  most  at  bats,  most  hits  and  most  runs  scored  in  a 
single  game.  In  addition,  Doug  earned  a  place  on  the 
Metro  All-Tournament  Team. 

Richard,  Paul  and  Chip,  who  died  in  January,  1983  in 
an  accident,  while  on  a  duck-hunting  trip  also  helped  to 
set  the  stage  for  the  strong  1983  Tiger  season. 

Richard  "Squeaky"  Webster  (1978-81)  was  probably 
the  best  defensive  catcher  in  the  history  of  Memphis 
State  University.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Metro  All- 
Tournament  Team  in  1978,  1980  and  1981.  In  1981,  he 
was  a  member  of  the  Metro  All-Conference  Team  and 


signed  a  professional  contract  with  the  New  York  Mets. 
After  playing  for  two  years  with  the  Mets,  Richard  was 
regarded  as  one  of  their  top  young  pitching  prospects. 
In  only  his  second  year  as  a  pitcher,  Richard  posted  an 
8-8  record  for  the  Lynchburg,  Va.  team  of  the  Carolina 
League  and  was  penciled-in  as  a  starter  for  the  Mets'  AA 
affiliate  in  Jackson,  Miss. 

A  transfer  student  from  Shelby  State  Community 
College  in  Memphis,  Paul  Dunn  (1981-82)  was  a 
valuable  asset  to  Memphis  State.  In  1 98 1 ,  he  experienced 
his  greatest  moment  as  a  Tiger  when  he  blasted  two 
consecutive  home  runs  at  Tim  McCarver  Stadium 
against  Metro  Conference  arch-rival,  Florida  State. 

Chip  Colbert  (1980-82)  proved  valuable  to  the  Tiger 
squad  both  on  and  off  the  field.  Off  the  field,  his  great 
sense  of  humor  was  the  motivating  factor  in  keeping  his 
teammates  in  the  right  frame  of  mind.  On  the  field, 
Chip,  a  two-year  letterman,  finished  the  1982  season 
with  an  average  of  .332  and  a  percentage  of  .932.  Chip's 
greatest  moment  came  when  he,  as  a  freshman,  belted  a 
grand  slam  homerun  against  the  Tennessee  Volunteers. 

Doug,  Richard,  Paul  and  Chip  were  four  great 
players.  Although  they  are  no  longer  with  us,  our 
memories  of  them  will  last  forever.

Tiger  Nine  Celebrates 


Players  Post  Record  Year  at  33-12 


It's  no  crime  as  pitcher  Gary  (.alio,  a  criminal  justice 
major,  helps  to  rob  Ole  Miss  of  victory.  The  freshman 
right  hander  led  the  way  to  a  4-2  win.

Once  again  the  Memphis  State  baseball 
team  enjoyed  another  outstanding  season 
in  1983  as  the  Tigers  posted  a  33-12  record, 
including  a  25-6  showing  at  home  and  a 
31-10  regular  season  record. 

The  Tigers,  however,  were  not  so  fortun- 
ate in  post-season  play.  Memphis  State 
was  2-2  in  the  double-elimination  Metro 
Conference  Tournament  in  Tallahassee, 
Fla.  After  pounding  Louisville  13-2  in  the 
opening  round,  the  Tigers  were  edged,  4-2, 
by  a  very  tough  Tulane  team,  which 
Memphis  State  had  beaten  twice  earlier  in 
the  season.  Bubba  Cummings  was  credited 
with  the  win  in  a  1-0  decision  over  Virginia 
Tech  before  Louisville  got  revenge  and 
sent  MSU  packing  with  an  8-5  win. 

Memphis  State  had  a  2-3  record  against 
two  of  the  best  teams  in  the  South.  The 
Tigers  were  thumped,  12-7,  by  Alabama  in 
Tuscaloosa  early  in  the  season.  The  two 
teams  split  a  two-game  series  in  Memphis 


as  Tim  Corder  tied  a  school  record  of  25 
career-wins  set  by  Blair  Gilbert.  Corder 
fought  off  the  Tide  for  a  5-2  win  with  home 
run  help  from  pitcher/  outfielder  Cummings 
and  Allen  Sigler.  MSU  dropped  a  tough 
3-2  game  to  the  Tide  the  very  next  day. 

South  Alabama  came  to  Memphis  and 
escaped  with  a  split  of  a  two-game  series. 
MSU  won  the  first  game,  3-1,  but  lost  the 
next  day,  4-3.  Other  season  highlights 
included  an  11-4  whipping  of  cross-state 
rival  Tennessee  and  a  7-6  win  over  bitter 
rival  Florida  State. 

When  the  June  baseball  draft  rolled 
around,  MSU  baseball  fans  felt  sure 
Corder,  who  finished  with  an  8-1  record 
and  a  2.87  ERA,  would  be  an  early  round 
selection.  The  junior  from  Covington, 
Tenn.,  was  drafted  and  signed  a  pro- 
fessional contract  with  the  Boston  Red 
Sox,  bypassing  his  senior  year  at  Memphis 

Continued 

The  Tigers  celebrate  a  record  year  with  a  hearty  cheer 
and  a  team  salute  following  their  4-1  win  over  the 
Tennessee  Tech  Eagles.  With  a  33-12  overall  win 
record,  the  nine  has  something  to  cheer  about. 

Outfielder  Jeff  Field  takes  a  mighty  swing  at  the  ball 
as  he  works  to  keep  his  ERA  high.  The  junior  is  a 
physical  education  major  at  Memphis  State.

State.  As  a  team,  the  Tigers  posted  a  3.90 
ERA  compared  to  a  6.50  mark  for  the 
opposition.  Corder  and  Tom  Ragan  both 
pitched  shutouts  —  Corder  a  3-0  win  over 
Tennessee  Tech  and  Ragan  a  10-0  thrashing 
of  Illinois  Wesleyan. 

The  Tigers  slugged  out  a  team  batting 
average  of  .31 1  with  53  home  runs.  Junior 
shortstop  Tim  Dulin  hit  a  whopping  .380 
with  10  home  runs,  the  second  highest  total 
to  Sigler's  1 3  round  trippers.  Sigler  knocked 
out  a  .331  average  and  a  team-leading  45 
RBI  and  nine  game-winning  hits. 

Junior  Shane  Young  bounded  back  after 
an  off  year  in  his  sophomore  campaign  to 
post  impressive  numbers  —  a  .370  average 
with  nine  home  runs  and  35  RBI.  Young, 
who  stands  6-4  and  230-pounds,  is  a  first 
baseman/ designated  hitter,  but  worked 
during  the  fall  as  a  pitcher  for  the  '84 
season.  Steve  Gaither 

Head  coach  Bobby  Kilpatrick  offers  a  few  words  of 
sage  advice  to  first  baseman  Shane  Young  as  he 
comes  up  to  bat  against  Alabama.  The  Tigers  took  the 
game  10-2.  Young,  a  junior  majoring  in  physical 
education,  was  named  a  designated  hitter  for  the 
NCAA  Eastern  Regional  All-Tournament  team.

Bobby  Kilpatrick: 


Coach  with  the  Midas  Touch 


Hey  baseball  fans!  It's  time  to  play  a 
game  of  "Guess  Who?"  about  a  certain 
Memphis  State  University  baseball  coach. 
Are  you  ready  for  the  clues?  Here  we  go... 

First  clue:  He  took  over  the  MSU 
baseball  program  in  1972.  Second  clue:  He 
has  never  had  a  losing  season  in  over  a 
decade  at  MSU.  Third  clue:  He  has  earned 
himself  a  reputation  as  one  of  the  most 
successful  coaches  in  both  the  south  and 
the  nation. 

Enough  clues?  Well  just  in  case  you're 
not  as  familar  with  Memphis  State  baseball 
as  you  should  be,  the  answer  is  Coach 
Bobby  Kilpatrick.  After  stepping  up  to  bat 
for  the  baseball  program,  Kilpatrick  trans- 
formed 1971's  11-29  squad  into  the  19-14 
unit  of  1972.  Fortunately  for  MSU  baseball 
fans,  the  transformation  has  never  stopped. 
The  Tiger's  33-12  record  at  the  close  of  the 
1983  season  brought  Kilpatrick's  career 
record  to  a  373-156  mark.  Talk  about  the 
Midas  Touch! 

His  first  great  team  is  thought  to  be  his 
1978  squad  which  led  the  NCAA  in  hitting, 
took  the  Metro  Conference  crown,  and 
advanced  to  the  NCAA  regionals,  just 
missing  the  World  Series  of  college  baseball. 
Because  of  the  achievements  of  his  Tigers, 


Kilpatrick  was  named  the  NCAA  South 
Region  Coach  of  the  Year. 

Then  again,  in  1981,  Kilpatrick  headed 
up  another  unit  which  made  a  showing  in 
NCAA  regional  play.  The  1981  team 
completed  the  season  with  a  48-11-1  rec 
ord,  the  best  in  Memphis  State  history. 
They  won  their  first  1 1  games  and  2 1  of  22, 
for  the  best  start  ever  in  MSU  history. 


Coach  Kilpatrick  has  an  impressive 
baseball  background  himself.  He  is  a 
graduate  of  Central  High  School  in  Mem- 
phis, where  he  was  an  all-city  selection  as  a 
center  fielder  for  three  years.  In  1958,  he 
took  his  team  to  the  Tennessee  State 
Championship  and  was  named  to  the  All- 
State  team. 

After  high  school,  he  attended  the 
University  of  Mississippi  after  signing  a 
baseball  grant-in-aid.  Moving  infield  to 
become  a  second  baseman,  he  helped  Ole 
Miss  take  the  1959  and  1960  Southeastern 
Conference  championships. 

After  graduating  from  Ole  Miss,  Kil- 
patrick was  drafted  by  the  Chicago  White 
Sox.  During  his  four  years  in  the  White 
Sox  organization  he  received  the  award  for 
the  Top  Minor  League  Player  in  May  of 
1962. 

Upon  returning  to  Memphis,  Kilpatrick 
was  hired  as  the  baseball  coach  at  Treadwell 
High  School.  Later  he  moved  to  Catholic 
High  School  as  both  a  football  and  baseball 
coach.  He  returned  to  coach  at  his  alma 
mater.  Central  High  School,  in  1967,  where 
he  was  twice  named  Memphis  High  School

At  a  tense  moment,  Phillip  "Doom"  Haynes  (32) 
shows  his  concern.  The  senior  guard  is  one  of  only 
two  current  Tigers  to  play  in  every  game  for  the  past 
three  years. 

It's  Andre  Turner  again,  this  time  showing  the  serious 
side  of  the  game  as  he  shoots  against  Ole  Miss. 

Time  out  for  a  few  laughs  as  Andre  Turner  and  Bobby 
Parks  relax  and  show  it's  not  all  hot,  heavy  and 
serious  business.

Andre  Turner,  sophomore  guard  (10),  shows  that  style  isn't  all  in  the  playing.  His  sense  of  humor  comes 
through  on  court  as  well  as  off,  though  he  admits  he's  tired  of  hearing  about  his  small  size.  The  5  foot  10  inch 
guard  allows  as  how  that's  tall  enough  to  show  his  winning  ways.

Tigers  Rank  As  One  of  the  Best 


Probably  one  of  the  most  exciting  and 
quotable  coaches  in  the  Metro  conference 
is  Memphis  State  head  coach  Dana  Kirk. 

Before  arriving  at  Memphis  State,  Kirk 
held  tenure  with  the  Louisville  Cardinals 
as  an  assistant  coach  from  1971  until 
1976.  He  also  served  as  the  Tampa  and 
Virginia  Commonwealth  mentor  before 
joining  the  Tigers. 

When  Kirk  arrived  here,  the  basketball 
program  was  on  a  decline  but  with  his 
inside-outside  approach,  recruiting  within 
the  Memphis  area  first,  the  Tigers  showed 


improvement  over  the  next  two  years, 
even  if  the  record  didn't. 

Kirk  and  his  staff  of  Larry  Finch  and 
Lee  Fowler  recruited  Mid-Southerners 
Keith  Lee,  Bobby  Parks  and  Memphians 
Andre  Turner  and  Phillip  "Doom" 
Haynes.  The  staff  added  St.  Louis  native 
Derrick  Phillips. 

The  13-14  records  his  first  two  years 
kept  improveng  and  these  new,  better 
records  took  the  squad  to  the  "sweet  16" 
to  face  Wake  Forest,  Villanova,  George- 
town and  Houston  over  the  next  two 
seasons. 

But,  Houston's  depth  was  the  final 
undoing  of  the  Tigers'  1982-83  hopes.  So, 
Kirk  and  his  staff  plucked  Memphis 
natives  William  Bedford,  John  Wilfong, 
Dewayne  Bailey  and  Chicagoan  Larry 
Bush  from  the  recruiting  pie. 

Recruiting  went  so  well  Bailey  was  red- 
shirted  so  he  wouldn't 
lose  a  year  of  eligibility  for  the  following 
season. 

Kirk,  who  won  his  200th  career  game 
early  in  the  1983-84  season,  lends  his 
name  to  many  charities  in  the  city  thus 
improving  MSU's  image  in  the  com- 
munity. 

In  addition  to  Kirk's  busy  chores  at 


MSU  and  his  charity  work,  the  Tiger 
coach  has  two  different  radio  shows,  has 
a  television  playback  show  and  also  guests 
on  early-morning  programs. 

When  Kirk  arrived,  besides  using  his 
inside-outside  approach,  he  started  a 
three-phase  program.  Kirk  first  strove  to 
revitalize  "the  sagging  fortunes  of  Tiger 
basketball. 

"I  wanted  to  rebuild  a  program  that 
was  down,  win  the  Metro  title  and 
compete  for  the  national  championship," 
Kirk  said. 

The  1983  December  schedule  included 
UCLA  and  Iowa;  the  first  time  the  Tigers 
had  played  such  tough  competition  early 
in  a  season.  The  Tigers  lost  both  games 
and  dropped  to  the  low  reaches  of  the 
polls. 

But,  MSU  soon  returned  to  the  upper 
echelons  of  the  Top  Ten.  Kirk  doesn't 
care  about  polls  until  late  February.  He's 
fond  of  saying,  "I'd  rather  win  in  March 
than  in  December." 

The  last  two  years  and  the  probabilities 
of  returning  to  the  NCAA  competition 
prove  him  right. 

Kirk  is  married  and  has  two  daughters, 
Koby  and  Kasha.

Many  basketball  experts  who  picked 
Memphis  State  in  the  pre-season  top  five 
were  taken  aback  when  losses  to  UCLA 
and  Iowa  befell  the  Tigers  in  December. 
But,  1984  brought  better  tidings  and  back 
into  good  graces  with  the  pull  services. 

After  four  straight  games  against  little 
opposition,  the  Tigers  were  humbled  by 
Bob  Bord  and  the  Mississippi  State  Bull- 
dogs. The  Bulldogs  used  a  slow-down 
approach  for  a  one-point  decision. 

The  bumpy  road  continued  with  a  1-1 
week  in  mid  December.  A  win  against  Ole 
Miss  preceded  a  14-point  loss  to  the 
Bruins  of  UCLA.  The  Bruins  improved 


their  career  mark  to  3-0  against  Memphis 
State. 

Whether  it  was  the  aura  of  former 
coach  John  Wooden  or  the  play  of  Kinny 
Fields  and  company,  UCLA  embarrassed 
the  Tigers,  65-51,  at  Pauley  Pavilion  and 
in  front  of  national  cameras. 

Iowa  soundly  thrashed  the  Big  Blue, 
73-66,  when  head  coach  Dana  Kirk  finally 
showed  his  frustration  by  echoeing 
a  statement  by  the  cartoon  character 
Popeye.  "I've  taken  all  that  I  can  and  I 
can't  take  no  more."  He  also  vowed  to 
stop  harrassing  the  referees  after  each 


1 38       Sports 


game. 

The  statements  set  off  a  blaze  under  the 
Tigers  who  opened  the  1984  year  with  a 
6-0  overall  record  and  a  5-0  slate  in  the 
Metro  by  defeating  Cincinnati,  Southern 
Mississippi,  South  Carolina  and  twice 
shellacking  Tulane. 

Individuals  on  their  own  made  news 
for  the  Tigers.  Dwayne  Bailey  was  red 
shirted  and  Larry  Bush  was  indefinitely 
suspended  from  the  team  after  facing 
rape  charges. 

But  former  Melrose  center  William 
Bedford  fit  in  well  in  Kirk's  game  plan  in

early  1 984  after  being  found  academically 
ineligible  for  the  '83  fall  semester. 

The  7-0  freshman  quickly  moved  to 
intimidate  his  opponents  with  slam  dunks 
and  blocked  shots  and  quickly  appeared 
to  be  known  as  Memphis  State's  truest 
center  since  Don  Holcomb  in  1969-72. 

With  the  Tigers  having  knocked  off  the 
Tulane  Green  Wave  twice  in  January 
only  Louisville  and  a  much-improved 
Virginia  Tech  team  appeared  to  stand  in 
the  way  of  seeing  the  Tigers  live  up  to 
pre-season  expectations.  The  Metro  con- 
ference skippers  voted  the  Tigers  odds- 
on-favorite  to  snatch  the  Metro  flag.

Hard  luck  Games  Can 't  Make  Them  Quit: 

Lady  Tigers  Show  Their  Stripes 


After  the  first  17  games  of  the  season,  the 
Lady  Tigers  basketball  squad  gained  and 
suffered  from  winning  and  losing  streaks. 

Memphis  State  started  with  an  opening 
victory  in  the  first  game  of  the  MS  U  Lady 
Tiger  Classic.  Then,  the  team  fell  on  hard 
times  by  losing  their  next  three  games. 
They  were  all  close  battles,  though. 

After  two  convincing  victories  against 
foes  from  Mississippi,  a  five  game  losing 
streak  left  the  team  puzzled.  Four  of  the 
five  losses  were  by  five  points  or  less, 
including  three  at  the  Miami  Masonic 
Classic.  The  team  returned  home  ready  to 
redeem  themselves — and  did  they  ever! 

Beginning  with  a  conference  victory  over 
Southern  Mississippi  (96-77),  the  Lady 
Tigers  eagerly  reached  for  the  .500  mark 
again.  After  defeating  Mississippi  State  by 


14  points,  the  team  faced  a  rough  road. 

Two  road  conference  battles  proved  to 
be  welcome  sights  as  they  posted  their  sixth 
and  seventh  wins  against  Virginia  Tech 
and  Florida  State.  Nationally  ranked 
Ole  Miss  blocked  their  attempt  to  obtain 
an  even  record. 

Battling  shot  for  shot  with  the  talented 
Lady  Rebels,  MSU  fell  five  points  short  of 
victory  (66-61).  Even  though  the  loss  was 
not  a  good  sign,  holding  top  ten  ranked  Ole 
Miss  to  such  a  slender  advantage  and 
allowing  them  to  escape  only  after  a  fierce 
struggle  was  reason  for  optimism. 

With  a  record  of  7-9,  the  team  had  to 
tfavel  again — this  time  to  Oral  Roberts 
University.  Another  close  game  gave  the 
squad  confidence  to  face  more  conference 
play  in   February.  The  result  was  more 


pleasant  this  time,  as  the  Lady  Tigers 
squeaked  by  ORU  (66-65). 

Regina  Street  led  the  team  with  a  19.8 
scoring  average  while  also  pulling  down 
nearly  10  rebounds  per  game.  Cathy 
Williams  added  14.5  points  a  game  to  help 
a  balanced  attack  that  included  two  other 
double  figure  scorers. 

Senior  Wanda  Simpson  teamed  with 
Street  inside  and  grabbed  over  9  rebounds 
per  contest  while  registering  13  blocked 
shots.  Vera  Webb  added  12.4  points  from 
her  forward  spot  and  also  played  excellent 
defense.  Outside,  Williams  and  freshman 
guard  Ruth  Ann  Forsythe  combined  for 
145  assists  and  58  steals.

Lady  Tiger  Basketball      1 41 


Johns  and  Lady  Tigers 
-A  Winning  Combination 


Memphis  State  has  one  of 
the  best  women's  basketball 
coaches  in  the  college  ranks, 
but  few  seem  to  realize  that 
fact.  Coach  Mary  Lou  Johns 
seems  to  fit  into  the  Rodney 
Dangerfield  category  of  gaining 
no  respect. 

Entering  her  13th  season  as 
leader  of  the  Lady  Tigers,  Johns 
record  stands  at  264-113,  the 
fifth  best  winning  percentage  in 
women's  collegiate  basketaball. 

Since arrivingat  MSU,  Johns 
has  guided  the  Tigers  to  1 1 
winning  seasons,  including  four 
in  which  the  teams  were  na- 
tionally ranked. 

During  the  summer,  Johns 
coaches  a  pair  of  Amateur 
Athletic   Union  (AAU)  teams 

and  conducts  a  basketball  camp  for  girls.  Her  AAU 
teams  have  been  quite  successful.  In  fact,  the  1982 
squad  qualified  for  the  nationals. 

While  a  student  at  Memphis  State,  Johns  competed 
in  basketball,  volleyball  and  badminton.  During  her 
early  tenure  at  the  Lady  Tigers'  helm,  she  also  taught 
women's  tennis. 

Johns  graduated  from  MSU  in  1964,  and  she 
became   the    Memphis    State   head    coach   after 


compilinga  record  of  48-5  while 
coaching  at  Hillcrest  High 
School. 

Johns'  many  NCAA  wins 
have  all  been  satisfying  ,  but 
two  games  during  the  1983-84 
campaign  may  have  been  the 
sweetest  victories  of  them  all 

Foes  Louisville  and  Louisiana 
Tech.  had  been  stumbling 
blocks  for  the  Tigers  for  the  last 
few  years, 

but  an  early-season  confronta- 
tion   with    the   Cardinals   saw 
Memphis  State  on  the  winning 
side  of  a  77-75  battle,  and  a 
Feb.  1  1  meeting  with  the  Lady 
Techsters  ended  with  a  victor- 
ious 72-69  outcome.  Louisville 
had  knocked  the  Tigers  out  of 
the  Metro  championship  picture 
twice  during  the  last  three  post-season  tourneys.  And, 
before  the  Lady  Tigers'  victory.  La.  Tech  had  been  the 
number  one  ranked  team  in  the  nation. 

Recognized  as  one  of  the  country's  top  coaches, 
Johns  is  one  of  only  65  coaches  allowed  to  vote  in  Mel 
Greenberg's  National  Women's  Basketball  Poll. 

Johns  is  married  and  has  two  children:  Jay  and 
Jimbo.

Lady  Tiger  Volleyball  Serves  Up 
Hard-Hitting  Action 


As  a  young  lady  once  so  accurately  put 
it,  "there  is  no  place  like  home."  Memphis 
State's  volleyball  team  learned  that  being 
away  from  home  can  be  a  frightening 
experience,  as  they  posted  a  15-18  record 
this  season. 

At  home  the  Lady  tigers  were  unde- 
feated (9-0)  which  may  give  coach  Diane 
Hale  good  reason  to  want  more  games 
played  in  the  fieldhouse  in  1984.  With  six 
players  finishing  their  final  season  at 
Memphis  State,  the  future  looks  uncer- 
tain. Yet  with  returning  players  Lori 
Jones  (most  serving  aces),  and  spectacular 
freshmen  Angie  Glaub,  Peggy  Rule  and 
Mia  Stephens,  the  outlook  is  optomistic. 

Glaub,  who  led  the  team  in  blocking 

Kim  Fraser  keeps  her  eye  on  the  ball  as  she  prepares 
to  deliver  a  forceful  serve. 


Holly  Buford  springs  upward  for  a  powerful  return

needed  assistance. 


assists  (114),  is  considered  a  strong, 
aggressive  hitter.  Rule  saved  an  incredible 
343  shots  with  diving  digs,  while  Stephens 
has  proved  her  ability  as  a  setter  in  only 
one  season  by  collecting  614assists,  nearly 
half  of  the  team  total. 

Since  volleyball  is  truly  a  team  sport, 
the  Lady  Tigers  will  have  to  work  even 
harder  together  in  order  to  replace  the 
talent  lost  to  graduation.  Possibly  the 
most  painful  loss  will  be  that  of  Holly 
Buford.  Buford  led  the  team  in  nearly 
every  attacking  category  and  also  in  solo 
blocks.  An  all-Metro  selection  for  three 
years,  Buford  was  described  by  Coach 
Hale  as  "the  most  devastating  hitter  on 
the  squad." 


One  statistic  probably  best  sums  up  the 
frustration  that  came  from  playing  well, 
but  just  not  good  enough  for  a  winning 
record.  That  statistic  was  the  team's  game 
record  (63-62).  Five  times  the  Lady  Tigers 
lost  five  game  matches.  Also,  they  lost, 
three  times  on  the  road  to  teams  that  were 
beaten  at  the  fieldhouse  (Ole  Miss  twice, 
Arkansas  State). 

With  an  improving  record  and  signs  of 
a  bright  future,  the  volleyball  squad 
should  look  forward  to  the  1984  season. 
And  if  they  can  learn  from  some  of  the  mistakes 
that  were  made  thes  year,  the  Lady  Tigers 
should  have  a  winning  campaign  and 
compete  strongly  for  the  Metro  Confrence 
title.

Any  successful  team  can  attribute  the 
majority  of  its  accomplishments  to  the 
talent  that  makes  up  the  squad;  but  usually 
their  potential  would  not  be  reached  with- 
out a  fine  coach.  Diane  Hale  is  a  coach  who 
has  brought  excellence  to  Memphis  State 
through  her  volleyball  teams. 

Coach  Hale  has  compiled  a  record  of 
159-1 14sincearrivingat  Memphis  State  in 
1978,  after  coaching  at  the  University  of 
Tennessee  and  Iowa  State  University. 
Considered  one  of  the  top  coaches  in  the  nation,  Hale  is  a  member 
member  of  the  board  of  directors  in  the  United  States  Volleyball 
Association's  Delta  Region.  Locally,  she  directs  the  Junior 
Olympic  Development  program. 

A  Knoxville  native.  Hale  received  her  bachelor's  and  master's 
degrees  at  UT.  While  an  undergraduate,  she  played  four  years  of 
volleyball  and  competed  in  the  nationals  during  her  freshman  and 
junior  seasons. 

Hale  has  worked  hard  at  recruiting  the  best  players  from 
around  the  country  to  assure  a  winning  tradition;  but  in  doing  so, 
she  has  made  certain  that  her  team  performs  as  well  off  the  court 
as  they  do  on.  With  intelligent  players  such  as  Terri  Clarke  and 
Peggy  Rule,  the  university  can  look  directly  to  the  volleyball 
squad  for  a  true  example  of  the  student-athlete.

The  Lady  Tiger  tennis  squad  finished 
the  fall  season  with  a  disappointing  3-12 
record,  yet  the  team  did  exibit  signs  of 
promise. 

Jennifer  Jones  proved  her  great  ability 
by  posting  an  excellent  match  record  of 
10-5  against  very  stiff  competition.  She 
also  had  a  winning  doubles  percentage  to 
aid  the  Lady  Tiger  cause.  Rose  Grasso 
won  eight  matches,  while  Robyn  Stern 
and  Sara  Phillips  contributed  several 
more  victories. 

Through  the  early  stages  of  the  year, 
the  team  performed  quite  well,  including 
a  win  against  Illinois  State.  The  next  four 
matches  were  against  opponents  from 
Louisiana.  The  Lady  Tigers  found  out 
that  folks  in  Bayou  country  can  serve  and 
volley  as  well  as  anyone  around. 

The  team's  other  victories  came  in 
show-downs  with  Middle  Tennessee  State 
and  Birmingham  Southern.  The  squad's 
record  did  not  reflect  the  effort  put  forth, 
and  Coach  Peterson  helped  them  to  realize 
that  if  they  keep  trying  hard,  their  fortunes 
will  improve.

No  Blues  for  'Miss  Pete'

Coach  Peterson 


Women's  tennis  coach  Charlotte 
Peterson  completed  the  fall  season  of  her 
ninth  year  at  Memphis  State  with  an 
attitude  that  not  every  coach  can  attain. 

Although  her  team  had  a  slow  start 
during  the  fall  campaign,  Peterson  keeps 
spirits  high  with  her  use  of  psychology.  She 
is  quite  knowledgeable  in  sports  psycho- 
logy. In  fact,  her  article  "Psychological 
Aspects  of  Coaching  Tennis"  was  published 
in  a  national  tennis  guidebook. 

A  native  Memphiananda  1972  graduate 
of  MSU,  "Miss   Pete",  as  she  is  affec- 


tionately called,  was  a  member  of  the  Lady 
Tigers  tennis  team  for  three  years.  After 
graduating,  Peterson  served  as  an  assistant 
tennis  coach  while  earning  her  master's 
degree  in  physical  education. 

In  the  late  1970s,  Coach  Peterson  was 
state  and  regionally  ranked  in  doubles 
competition,  but  has  since  chosen  to  devote 
more  of  her  time  to  coaching  the  Lady 
Tigers.  She  now  serves  on  the  NCAA 
Division  1  Championship  Tennis 
Committee.

Strong  Start 
Boosts  Netters 


The  men's  tennis  team  used  a 
quick  start  to  post  a  12-6  record 
this  season.  The  Tigers  were 
benefited  by  strong  doubles  per- 
formances and  six  players  with  10 
or  more  singles  victories  to  their 
credit. 

The  team  opened  the  year  with 
six  convincing  victories  in  their 
first  seven  matches.  The  lone  loss 
came  at  the  hands  of  a  strong 
Arkansas-Little  Rock  squad.  Fol- 
lowing a  bitter  defeat  against 
Murray  State,  MSU  put  everything 
together  to  win  five  straight 
matches.  Their  set  record  during 
that  stretch  was  an  astounding  36- 
7.  The  Tigers  final  victory  for  the 
year  was  a  7-2  win  against  Illinois 
State. 

Led  by  Tiger  Buford  (coach 
Buford's  son),  Grant  Denton, 
David  Nicholson  and  Jerry  Gray, 
the  team's  singles  play  was  out- 
standing. However,  their  doubles 
play  proved  to  be  their  strongest 
suit.  Team  members  Buford,  Julio 
Martins  and  Greg  Long  posted 
outstanding  doubles  records.  But, 
not  to  be  far  outdone,  every  other 
member  of  the  squad  also  finished 
with  a  winning  season  record.

Tommy  Buford 


Head  coach  Tommy  Buford  has  been  a 
big  influence  on  local  tennis  for  many 
years.  As  coach  of  the  Memphis  State 
men's  tennis  team,  Buford  has  guided  the 
Tigers  to  five  Metro  Conference  titles.  In 
the  community,  he  is  even  more  well- 
known  for  directing  the  U.S. Indoor 
Championships  at  the  Racquet  Club. 

Buford  graduated  from  Southwestern  at 
Memphis  in  1957,  where  he  won  the 
Tennessee  Intercollegiate  Championship. 
After  pursuing  a  graduate  degree  from 
Mississippi  College  and  serving  as  tennis 
professional  at  River  Hill  in  Jackson, 
Buford  was  offered  the  positions  of  head 
coach  at  MSU  and  pro  at  the  University 
Club. 

Since  his  arrival  at  MSU  in  1966,  his 
teams  have  nearly  300  wins  to  their  credit. 
Buford  has  brought  a  winning  tradition  to 
a  program  that  he  admits  had  to  be  started 
nearly  from  scratch.  During  that  time,  the 
team  has  flourished.  In  fact,  from  1976-80 
the  Tigers  reigned  as  Metro  champions. 

Having  duties  at  both  Memphis  State 
and  the  Racquet  Club  to  contend  with,  it 
might  seem  that  Coach  Buford  has  little 
time  to  keep  his  game  sharp.  Yet,  in  1981 
he  teamed  with  his  son,  Tiger,  to  win  the 
National  Father  and  Son  Claycourt 
Championships.  And  in  1980,  he  was 
ranked  first  in  the  state  for  the  Men's  45- 
under  division.

Handball,  Racquet  ball . . .  Fast-Paced  A  ction 


When  many  sports  enthusiasts  are  asked 
to  describe  the  game  of  handball,  most  are 
left  nearly  speechless  and  comment  "It's 
racquetball  without  the  racquet...!  think." 

In  actuality,  handball  preceded  the  game 
of  racquetball,  and  contrary  to  popular 
belief,  is  often  a  faster-paced  sport.  So,  is 
handball  a  sport  that  stands  in  the  shadow 
of  its  fanatically  popular  offspring?  The 
Memphis  State  handball  squad  doesn't 
think  so  and  has  posted  many  impressive 
victories  to  prove  its  point. 

Youth  again  prevailed  for  a  Tiger  squad, 


as  the  handball  team  faired  quite  well  with 
only  one  senior.  However,  that  one  player 
will  most  assuredly  be  missed.  Doug  Pope's 
improvement  in  two  years  of  competition 
has  lead  him  to  become  a  major  asset  to  the 
team. 

Steve  Stapleton  claimed  another  national 
title  for  Memphis  State,  placing  first  in  the 
Intercollegiate  "B"  Singles  Division. 

Sophomore  Pete  Brown  teamed  with 
Stapleton  to  form  one  of  the  most 
devastating  doubles  teams  in  the  nation. 
Brown's  dedication  to  the  game  of  handball, 


coupled  with  his  natural  ability,  has  given 
Coach  Mazzone  the  right  to  call  Brown  "a 
very  strong  national  contender." 

Power  is  the  name  of  Shawn  Massey's 
game.  He  hits  the  ball  as  hard  as  anyone 
can  and  he  uses  that  intimidating  style  to 
keep  extremely  close  to  the  team's  top 
ranking. 

Two  first  year  players,  James  Shine  and 
Tim  Whitehorn,  give  the  team  great  balance 
in  the  "C"  division.  Their  progress  in  only 
one  season  has  helped  enhance  the  team's 
success    in    both    singles    and    doubles. 


Coach  Mazzone 


Coaching,  competing,  officiating,  direct- 
ing and  instructing  ...Charles  Mazzone  has 
performed  every  duty  that  could  be  thought 
of  for  his  sport — handball.  But  apparently 
that's  not  enough  to  keep  him  busy,  becuase 
he  is  quite  active  with  Memphis  State  and 
the  community  in  other  areas,  too. 

After  graduating  from  Kingsbury  High 
School,  Mazzone  entered  MSU,  where  he 
earned  his  bachelor's  and  master's  degrees. 
While  doing  his  graduate  work  in  197 1 ,  he 
became  assistant  handball  coach  with  the 
MSU  Extramural  Program.  He  attained 
his  current  status  of  head  handball  coach 
in  1977. 

Mazzone  has  contributed  greatly  to  local 
handball  and  racquetball  tournaments 
while  also  participating  in  them.  He  has 


served  as  the  director  for  the  Memphis 
State-Jack  Gillespie  Handball  Tournament 
as  well  as  assisting  in  the  direction  of  the 
MSU-Union  Planters  Racquetball  Classic. 
In  addition,  Mazzone  is  the  Southeast 
Intercollegiate  Commissioner  for  the 
United  States  Handball  Association,  and 
is  a  member  of  several  local,  regional  and 
national  sports  organizations. 

Not  only  has  the  coach  kept  a  strong 
interest  in  four-wall  indoor  sports,  but  he 
also  teaches  many  activity  classes  such  as 
aquatics,  tennis  and  badminton.  He  also 
works  closely  with  the  American  Red 
Cross  teaching  first  aid  and  safety. 

Mazzone  and  his  wife  Sally  have  two 
children:  Mark,  10,  and  Holly,  6.

Many  universities  take  pride  in  the  fact 
that  a  team  representing  the  school  reigns 
as  national  champion  in  its  particular 
sport.  Not  too  many  institutions  can  boast 
about  forming  a  dynasty  in  an  athletic 
competition,  but  Memphis  State's  racquet- 
ball  squad  deservedly  ranks  as  one. 

Although  a  team  championship  cannot 
be  accomplished  without  a  group  effort, 
the  racquetball  players  individually  showed 
their  prowess.  With  a  variety  of  personalities 
that  combine  to  make  up  the  squad,  a 
calming  factor  must  keep  tempers  down 
and  spirits  high.  That  is  the  job  of  the  team 
captain. 

Senior  Jed  Cowell  occupies  the  un- 
enviable position  of  captain.  His  success  is 
due  mainly  to  his  ability  to  earn  the  respect 
of  his  teammates  with  his  patient  attitude. 
On  the  court,  Cowell  gives  a  total  effort  — 
hustling,  diving,  digging  for  every  shot  hit 
by  his  opponent. 

If  experience  can  truly  help  an  athlete  to 
progress  in  his  particular  sport,  then,  by 
the  time  Andy  Roberts  is  a  senior  at  MSU, 
a  new  category  of  racquetball  player  may 
have  to  be  instituted.  Roberts,  a  freshman 
from  Memphis,  already  has  won  several 
prestigious  championships,  including  the 
Newbern  Invitational,  which  matches  the 
14  top  amateurs  in  the  nation.  Roberts  also 
has  second  place  finishes  in  the  1983  Junior 
Nationals  and  Leach  Nationals  to  his  credit. 
With  power  and  pinpoint  precision  forming 
his  style,  Roberts  intimidates  nearly 
everyone  he  plays. 

Sophomore  Jim  Jeffers  has  had  to 
"suffer"  as  the  team's  second  ranked  player. 
Winner  of  the  1094  Jackson  Open,  Jeffers 
probably  would  have  won  seveal  more 
tournament  finals,  but  Roberts  saw  to  it 
that  he  settled  for  runner-up.  Jeffers  prefers 
the  backhand  to  put  points  away,  but  he 
certainy  has  a  complete  game. 

Graduating  players  Brian  Sheldon  and 


Richard  Smith  have  brought  strength  to 
the  squad  in  different  areas.  Sheldon  is  one 
of  the  country's  best  doubles  competitors 
with  fabulous  court  coverage.  Smith, 
conversely,  chooses  to  earn  his  points  more 
quickly  with  hard,  low  drive  serves. 

Racquetball  is  not  a  sport  that  can  be 
labeled  exclusively  for  men.  The  Lady 
Tigers  have  made  certain  of  that. 

Coach  Larry  Liles' female  squad  is  very 
young,  with  only  one  player  in  her  third 
year  of  college,  yet  the  team  members  have 
already  proved  themselves  to  be  extremely 
competitive. 

Kathy  Gluvna,  the  "veteran"  of  the 
team,  is  the  current  American  Amateur 
Racquetball  Association's  national  intercol- 
legiate champion.  She  played  with  the 
United  States  World  Games  team  in  Costa 
Rica  during  the  fall.  Using  a  forceful 
backhand  and  a  dominating  style,  Gluvna 
forces  opponents  to  play  her  game,  which 
has  enabled  her  to  reach  the  status  of 
number  two  on  the  team. 

Holding  down  the  number  one  spot  is 
freshman  Toni  Bevelock.  According  to 
Liles,  Bevelock's  ability  to  place  shots 
while  on  the  run  is  comparable  to  that  of 
any  female  racquetball  professional.  She 
reigns  as  the  current  mixed  doubles  national 
champion,  while  also  capturing  several 
individual  tournament  crowns. 

The  lone  sophomore  on  the  team  is 
Krista  Fox,  who  has  established  herself 
mainly  as  an  accomplished  doubles  player. 
She  lives  up  to  her  name  as  she  moves 
'quick  as  a  fox'  and  seems  always  to 
surprise  her  foes  by  positioning  herself 
where  they  least  expect  her  to  be. 

The  remaining  three  competitors  are  all 
freshmen.  Teresa  Beresford,  Kim  Cooling 
and  Ann  Higginbotham  all  work  very  hard 
and  show  great  promise.  With  a  little  more 
experience,  this  trio  may  occupy  the  top 
three  spots  on  the  Lady  Tiger's  squad. 


Coach  Liles 

If  there  could  be  a  racquetball  capital  of 
the  world,  it  would  be  safe  to  say  that 
Memphis  might  merit  that  distinction.  With 
dozens  of  racquetball  facilities  throughout 
the  area,  it  is  apparent  that  the  sport  is 
enjoyed  by  most  of  the  Mid-South. 

Could  there  possibly  be  a  little  inspiration 
behind  the  incredible  growth  of  the  sport? 
Many  feel  that  this  honor  belongs  to  Larry 
Liles. 

Liles,  a  graduate  of  Memphis  State,  has 
gained  the  majority  of  his  recognition  from 
the  fact  that  his  men's  squads  have  won 
seven  national  championships  in  the  sport. 
He  has  worked  to  make  his  team  a  dominant 
force  in  the  game  by  bringing  in  players  who 
can  successfully  hold  down  individual 
national  titles  as  well  as  be  powerful  team 
members. 

Liles'  women's  squads  have  also  placed 
very  high  in  national  competition  over  the 
years.  This  year,  two  of  his  players.  Toni 
Bevelock  and  Kathy  Gluvna,  reign  as 
national  title  holders  in  mixed  doubles  and 
singles  respectively. 

Also,  Liles  performs  as  well  as  those  he 
coaches.  He  has  held  several  city,  state,  and 
regional  titles  and  won  the  National  Racquet- 
ball Doubles  Championship  in  1981.

Team  Effort  Pays  Off  A  t 
Metro  Championships 


The  Memphis  State  track  team's  1983  season  was  noted  for  the 
tremendous  team  effort  shown  at  the  Metro  Conference  Indoor 
Championships  and  several  outstanding  individual  performances. 

The  team's  performance  was  fair  before  the  Metro  indoor,  in 
which  they  earned  five  track  titles  and  four  runner-up  spots.  Only 
a  lack  of  field  event  competitors  stopped  them  from  capturing  the 
team  title.  Tyjuan  Cowan  was  voted  MVP  for  the  meet. 

The  following  week  at  Murfreesboro,  Tenn.,  Victor  Lacey  and 
Colin  Hume  qualified  for  the  NCAA  Indoor  Championships. 
Lacey  posted  the  season's  best  time  for  the  440-yard  run  (47.44), 
while  Hume  broke  a  school  record,  becoming  the  first  Tiger  in 
history  to  run  the  mile  in  under  four  minutes  with  a  time  of 
3:59.58.  At  the  NCAA  Championships  held  in  Pontiac,  Mich., 
Hume  reached  the  mile  run  finals,  where  he  placed  seventh. 

The  outdoor  season  was  injury  plagued.  The  Tigers'  top  four 
sprinters  were  all  sidelined  during  the  season  with  leg  injuries; 
however,  there  were  some  individual  highlights.  William  Singleton 
had  four  800-meter  runs  under  1:49.00,  including  a  victory  at  the 


prestigious  Dogwood  Relays.  Also,  Hume  placed  10th  in  the 
NCAA  Championships  in  Houston  while  running  in  the  1500- 
meter  cometition. 

The  1983  cross  country  season  saw  some  outstanding  efforts 
from  British  imports  David  Topham  and  Colin  Hume. 

Topham  showed  fine  early  season  form  in  winning  a  five-mile 
invitational  in  Cape  Girardeau,  Mo.  He  followed  that  by  clocking 
a  personal  best  in  a  similar  event  in  Little  Rock  one  week  later. 

Hume  then  took  full  advantage  of  Topham's  absence  due  to 
injury  by  posting  his  first  win  at  the  Ole  Miss  Invitational  in 
Oxford.  Hume  went  on  to  win  the  Metro  Conference  title,  and  he 
also  placed  sixth  in  the  NCAA  regionals.  The  fine  performance  at 
the  regionals  qualified  him  for  the  finals  where  he  finished  in  the 
middle  of  a  very  strong  international  field. 

The  season  saw  the  emergence  of  two  promising  freshmen — 
Gary  York  and  Chris  Horton.  The  combination  of  these  two  and 
the  British  pair  should  push  the  Tigers  into  a  challenging  position 
for  next  year's  Metro  Conference  title.

Head  Coach 
Glenn  Hays 


In  his  1 3  years  of  heading  up  the  Memphis 
State  track  program,  Glenn  Hays  has 
brought  Metro  Conference  Champion- 
ships, nationally  recognized  athletes  and  a 
solidly  run  varsity  sport  to  the  university. 

After  graduating  from  Southwestern  at 
Memphis  in  1962,  Hays  began  his  career  at 
the  school  as  an  assistant  track  coach. 
After  one  year  there,  he  left  to  become  the 
head  coach  of  cross  country  and  track  at 
Battle  Ground  Academy  in  Nashville.  In 
1970,  Hays  arrived  at  MSU,  following 
successful  stints  at  Valparaiso  (Ind.)  Uni- 
versity and  Virginia  Tech. 

While  at  Memphis  State,  Coach  Hays 
has  produced  national  champions  such  as 
Terron  Wright  and  Ed  Hammonds,  and  he 
has  led  the  Tigers  to  the  Metro  Conference 
Championship  in  cross  country.

Lynn  Parkes'  Lady  Tiger  golfers  over- 
came a  slow  start  to  post  three  top  ten 
finishes  in  fall  competition.  Improvement 
is  definitely  evident  from  the  team's  1982 
fall  performance. 

With  senior  Kathy  Vendetti  lowering 
her  stroke  average  each  semester,  Parkes 
looked  to  her  for  team  leadership.  Gaining 
four  top  ten  finishes  in  five  tourneys  this 
fall,  Vendetti  has  accomplished  nearly  every 
goal  within  her  reach. 

Renee  Schafer  and  Margaret  Shaffer 
played  in  every  match,  finishing  with  respec- 
table scoring  averages  in  the  low  80's.  Since 
both  are  undergraduates,  their  steady  pro 


gress  will  be  heavily  counted  upon  in  the 
future. 

Half  of  Renee's  rounds  were  at  or  below 
80,  and  she  had  her  best  finish  (20th  place) 
at  the  Carrier  Tournament  in  Memphis. 
Margaret  also  had  a  20th  place  finish.  Hers 
came  in  during  a  36  hole  match  in  Kentucky 
when  she  shot  rounds  of  78  and  80. 

Combining  with  the  four  other  regulars 
and  transfer  student  Molly  Baney,  the 
future  looks  bright  for  the  Lady  Tigers.  II 
the  team  continues  its  rapid  progress,  the 
spring  should  be  a  very  pleasant  farewell 
for  Vendetti  and  welcome  experience  for 
the  returning  golfers.

Head  Coach  Lynn  Parks 

Lynn  Parkes  entered  her  eighth  year  at  the  helm  of  the  Lady  Tigers*  golf  program 
this  fall  giving  her  players  what  she  has  provided  since  starting  as  a  graduate 
assistant.  She  gave  them  support  and  a  great  teacher  of  the  game  of  golf. 

After  graduating  from  the  University  of  Alabama  in  1 973,  Parkes  returned  to  her 
home  state  of  Tennessee  to  coach  high  school  golf  in  Lawrenceburg.  She  then 
arrived  at  Memphis  State,  seeking  a  master's  degree  in  physical  education,  and  also 
to  bring  women's  golf  to  the  university. 

A  member  of  the  Ladies  Professional  Golf  Association, 
Parkes  is  an  area  adviser  for  the  National  Golf  Foun- 
dation. Using  her  excellent  teaching  ability,  she  has  taken 
her  knowledge  of  the  game  further  than  MSU.  She  has  set 
up  instructional  clinics  and  provided  lessons  in  Memphis, 
throughout  the  state,  and  in  other  parts  of  the  nation. 

A  former  Memphis  city  finalist  and  state  semifinalist  in 
ameteur  golf  competition,  Parkes  has  contributed  greatly 
to  the  success  and  improvement  of  Memphis  State  golf 
and  golf  for  the  local  area  as  well.

1 52     Golf 


The  Fall  season  for  the  Memphis  State 
golf  team  turned  out  to  be  quite  successful. 
In  all  four  tournaments,  the  Tigers 
finished  in  the  top  ten.  Signs  of  great 
promise  came  from  co-captain  Donnie 
Cude.  He  was  team  medalist  three  times 
and  had  a  73.5  stroke  average  for  the 
season. 

The  team  placed  first  in  the  opening 
tourney  at  Murry  State,  defeating  ten 
teams  by  shooting  consistently.  J.  J. 
Fashimpaur's  final  round  71  earned  him 
second  place  individual  honors  for  the  54 
hole  tournament.  Also  capturing  fourth 
and  fifth  place  in  individual  competition 
were  Cude  and  team  captain  Bobby  Dick 


respectively.  The  victory  gave  them  con- 
fidence going  into  the  LSU  National 
Tournament. 

Although  the  Tigers  shot  a  much  lower 
score  than  in  their  first  win,  all  the  team 
could  manage  was  a  10th  place  finish. 
Facing  14  teams,  the  Tigers  score  of  883 
was  36  shots  off  the  pace.  Cude  had  a 
three  day  total  of  218,  which  was  good 
enough  for  21st  place.  Possibly  the  most 
encouraging  news  came  from  sophomore 
Paul  Hollahan  who  had  carded  previous 
rounds  of  80  and  83.  He  finished  with  a 
sparkling  71. 

The  third  tournament  was  the  local 
Hillman  Robbins  Invitational.  Eighteen 


teams  competed  and  MSU  finished  fifth. 
Cude  was  again  team  medalist,  ending  up 
ninth  overall.  Since  the  event  was  held  in 
town,  1 1  team  members  were  able  to 
participate.  This  gave  Coach  Cook  a 
chance  to  survey  all  of  his  talent,  and  gave 
some  of  the  younger  players  valuable 
experience. 

With  two  players  finishing  in  the  top 
ten,  the  Tigers  ended  the  fall  season  on  a 
high  note  by  placing  ninth  at  the  Dixie 
Intercollegiate  Tournament.  Dick  shot  a 
blistering  67,  which  propelled  him  to  10th 
position  after  the  three  day  event  which 
drew  24  teams.

Head  Coach  Jim  Cook 


In  12  years  of  coaching  golf  at  Memphis  State,  Jim  Cook  is 
proud  of  his  teams'  accomplishments.  Winning  the  Metro 
Con  ference  title  and  only  once  finishing  lower  than  runner  up 
since  the  Tigers  joined  the  league,  he  has  every  reason  to  be 
ecstatic.  Seeing  some  of  his  players  win  individual  titles  is 
quite  rewarding.  But  Coach  Cook  feels  that  the  trophies  and 
recognition  do  not  begin  to  compare  with  his  players' 
contributions  off  the  the  course. 

"The  value  of  the  sport  means  more  than  what  my  players 
are  doing  now,"  Cook  said.  "They  will  make  their  mark 
throughout  the  community  later.  That's  what  is  important," 
he  added. 

A  graduate  of  MSU  in  1968,  Cook  jokes  about  the 
responsibilities  he  faces  as  coach,  but  confesses  that  he  loves 
his  position.  "I'm  a  recruiter,  father  figure,  travel  coordinator, 
scheduler,  cajoler  and,  on  occasion,  a  beggar." 

Honored  as  Metro  Coach  of  the  Year,  Cook  feels  he  owes 
most  of  his  success  to  his  players  and  the  university.  "Since  we 


have  been  given  the  opportunity  to  represent  Memphis  State, 
every  player  will  do  so,  or  he  won't  play.  That's  my 
philosophy!" 

"We  have  to  realize  that  golf  is 
only  a  game,  and  that  there  are 
millions  of  other  things  that  should 
be  thought  of  first,"  he  stresses.  "If 
we  don't  take  ourselves  or  the  game 
seriously,  we  will  be  successful." 

Watching  86  percent  of  his  players 
graduate  and  enter  the  "serious  part" 
of  life  as  successful  citizens  makes 
Cook  realize  that  he  has  done  a 
good  job.  He  wants  to  remain  at 
Memphis  State  as  long  as  he  knows 
he  is  doing  his  job  well.  He  expects 
to  be  here  for  a  long  time.

Soccer  Team  Finishes 
First  Winning  Season 


Only  in  its  second  season  qf  varsity 
status,  the  Memphis  State  soccer  team 
had  a  very  successful  season  under  Head 
Coach  Peter  Bermel. 

Despite  playing  one  of  the  toughest 
schedules  in  the  country,  the  soccer  Tigers 
finished  the  year  at  11-9,  their  first  winning 
season.  The  1 1  victories  included  triumphs 
over  Ole  Miss,  Tennessee  and  two  wins 
over  arch-rival  Southwestern  at  Memphis. 

Bermel's  squad  also  played  an  exhi- 
bition game  against  the  Memphis 
Americans  midway  through  the  season. 
They  had  good  attendance  at  the  match 


and  raised  plenty  of  money  for  the  team 
scholorship  fund. 

One  of  the  standouts  on  the  '83  team 
was  captain  Didier  Aur.  The  only  senior 
on  the  team,  Didier  gave  the  Tigers  a 
potent  attack  as  well  as  leadership  on  and 
off  the  field.  His  greatest  honor  this 
season  was  being  named  as  a  draft  choice 
by  the  Americans. 

Larry  Creson,  Pat  Johnson,  E.  J.  Gilley 
and  Mike  Muller  also  had  great  per- 
formances in  '83  and  will  be  back  to  lead 
the  Tigers  next  season.

Coach  Bermel 


The  growth  and  success  of  soccer 
locally  and  nationally  is  astoun- 
ding, and  Memphis  State  coach 
Peter  Bermel  has  made  his  team 
competitive  after  only  two  seasons 
of  collegiate  play. 

Bermel  came  to  the  United  States 
from  Arnhem,  Netherlands  in 
1964,  arriving  in  Memphis  two 
years  later.  For  13  years  he  has 
been  extremely  active  in  Memphis 
youth  soccer,  sharing  the  talent 
that  allowed  him  to  play  inter- 
nationally as  a  midfielder. 

Bermel  brought  soccer  to  the 
university  in  1977  as  a  club  sport 
and  worked  very  hard  to  establish 
it  on  the  varsity  level.  Heading  a 
team  that  finished  with  a  mark  of 
7-11-2  in  its  initial  campaign, 
Bermel  used  local  high  school 
talent  to  attain  success.  Aside  from 
Memphis  State,  he  has  helped  the 
soccer  program  at  Southwestern 
at  Memphis  for  the  last  eight 
years. 

Bermel  has  been  involved  with 
soccer  since  the  age  of  eight,  con- 
tributing not  only  as  a  referee.  He 
has  served  as  president  of  Memphis 
Adult  Amateur  League,  as  well.

Tiger  Tumblers  Always  Land  On  Their  Feet 


Katsutoshi  "Katsu"  Kanzaki  has  complet- 
ed his  fourth  season  as  the  Memphis  State 
men's  gymnastics  coach,  but  it  looks  to  be 
his  final  year.  The  reason  is  certainly  not 
due  to  his  coaching  ability  or  the  in- 
effectiveness of  his  squad.  In  fact,  Kanzaki 
is  one  of  the  most  highly  respected  coaches 
in  the  country,  and  the  team's  record 
during  his  tenure  has  been  quite  impressive. 

The  very  controversial  explanation  for 
the  extinction  of  the  entire  gymnastics 
program  (including  the  women's  team)  is 
one  of  support.  According  to  President 
Thomas  Carpenter  and  Athletic  Director 
Charles  Cavagnaro,  gymnastics  does  not 
fit  into  the  growth  of  Memphis  State's 
athletic  package,  therefore  Kanzaki's  job 
as  head  coach  is  no  longer  necessary.  But 
that  did  not  stop  him  from  putting  up  a 
courageous  fight. 

Kanzaki  is  a  very  dedicated  man  when 
the  subject  is  gymnastics.  Before  arriving 
at  MSU,  Kanzaki  spent  12  years  coaching 
at  the  Memphis  School  of  Gymnastics, 
producing  many  gymnasts  that  competed 
at  the  national  level. 

During  his  competitive  days  he  was  a 
member  of  the  Japanese  national  team.  He 
performed  quite  well,  placing  in  the  top  10 
in  the  individual  all-around  competition  in 
the  1963  World  University  Games.  In 
addition,  he  was  an  alternate  for  the  1964 
Olympic  Games  held  in  Tokyo. 

While  attending  Northeast  Louisiana 
State  University  where  he  received  his 
master's  degree,  Kanzaki  reigned  as  United 
States  National  Champion.  In  1967,  he 
was  presented  the  Diamond  Award  signify- 
ing the  Gymnast  of  the  Year. 


With  a  true  balance  of  power,  Lance  Sherley  displays 
a  firm  hold  on  the  rings. 


Terry  Bryson  has  been  a  very  busy 
woman  since  she  started  the  women's 
gymnastics  program  at  Memphis  State. 
Although  she  has  taken  time  out  to  care  for 
her  two  children  and  has  contributed  greatly 
to  the  progress  of  gymnastics  throughout 
the  country,  Bryson  has  not  lost  her  incen- 
tive to  keep  the  Lady  Tigers  among  the 
nation's  best  gymnasts. 

During  her  years  at  MSU,  Coach  Bryson, 
a  native  Tennesseean,  has  sent  her  teams  to 
the  national  championships  and  even  to 
Venezuela  to  help  conduct  clinics. 

Bryson  started  the  women's  gymnastics 


program  at  the  University  of  Alabama  and 
also  served  both  as  a  judge  and  as  a  board 
of  directiors  member  for  the  United  States 
Gymnastics  Federation. 

Last  summer  Coach  Bryson  received 
possibly  her  greatest  honor  for  the  effort 
she  has  put  forth.  She  was  selected  to  work 
with  the  Sports  Operation  Division  at  the 
United  States  Olympic  Training  Center  in 
Colorado  Springs,  Colorado. 
Recruiting  fine  talent  each  year  and 
showing  constant  progress  toward  national 
prominence  have  made  the  sport  of  wo- 
men's gymnastics  an  important  part  of  this 
university.

Light  on  her  feet,  Nancy  Ammann  demonstrates  a 
lively,  precise  movement  from  her  beam  routine. 


With  a  combination  of  talent  that  gave  coach  Terry  Bryson 
great  optomism  for  1983,  the  Lady  Tiger  gymnasts  posted  a 
respectable  3-4  record  against  extremely  stiff  competition.  The 
squad  was  sparked  by  consistent  team  scores  and  individual 
efforts  that  included  three  new  school  records. 

Against  Jacksonville  (Ala.)  State,  the  women  broke  the  record 
for  team  scoring  by  collecting  170.95  points.  In  each  of  the  last  four 
meets,  the  team  has  tallied  at  least  165  points;  and  even  when  the 
squad  was  not  victorious,  they  were  always  within  contention. 

Individually,  everyone  was  nearly  equal  in  every  event,  with 
four  members  averaging  between  33.75  and  34  points  in  overall 
competition.  Junior  Roberta  Rahija  tied  the  all-around  school 
record  by  earning  34.5  points  during  one  meet. 

On  the  balance  beam,  freshman  Mary  Bird  earned  a  spot  in  the 
Memphis  State  record  books  along  with  sophomore  Leslie 
Phillips  who  excelled  at  the  floor  excercise.  Maureen  Hall  led  the 
team  in  all-around  and  balance  beam  events  during  her  first 
season. 

After  finally  fully  recovering  from  sophomore  vear  back 
surgery,  senior  Nancy  Ammann  continued  to  show  her  strength  in 

the  vaulting  competition  by  leading  the  team  in  that  event. 

Facing  a  heavy  schedule  that  includes  national  powers  Missouri, 
LSU  and  Penn  State,  the  road  to  victory  looks  bumpy.  Yet,  with 
the  consistent  improvement  shown,  the  Lady  Tigers' future  looks 
bright. 


Leslie  Phillips  exhibits  the  fluid  grace  which  enabled 
her  to  dazzle  judges  and  set  a  new  school  record  of  9.5 
in  floor  exercise.

"There  is  one  thing  which  gives  radiance 
to  everything.  It  is  the  idea  of  something 
around  the  corner. " 

— G.K.  Chesterton 

For  those  of  us  who  did  not  know  Rex 
Dockery,  Chris  Faros,  Charles  Greenhill 
or  Glenn  Jones  personally,  that  tragic  day 
when  a  plane  crash  took  their  lives  is 
probably  little  more  than  a  blur.  Now, 
when  their  names  are  mentioned  or  we  are 
somehow  reminded  of  that  day,  there  are 
vague  memories  filled  with  regret  and 
sorrow  over  lives  cut  too  short.  They  fade 
away,  but  not  before  showing  us  how  much 
they  are  still  missed. 

If  you  want  to  look  at  these  four  men  in 
the  cold,  impersonal  terms  of  prominence, 
naturally  Coach  Dockery  was  the  most 
well-known.  Just  about  everyone  on  cam- 
pus (as  well  as  the  many  fans  off-campus) 
knew  him  personally,   knew  something 

about  him  or  at  least  knew  who  he  was.1 

But  you  cannot  use  cold,  impersonal 
terms  for  a  man  who  was  anything  but  cold 
and  impersonal.  What  cold,  impersonal 
man  would  have  stuck  with  a  team  which 
was  constantly  torn  apart  by  sports  critics 
and  was  positively  dwarfed  in  the  face  of  an 
outstanding,  nationally-acclaimed  basket- 
ball team?  Coach  Dockery  brought  the 
Tigers  through  two  seasons  with  stats 
almost  painful  to  recall,  yet  kept  his  spirit 
and  drive,  always  ready  to  fight  for  and 
with  his  team. 

Then,  in  the  fall  of  1983,  the  puzzle 
pieces  fell  into  place.  Although  many  people 
would  say  a  6-4-1  record  is  no  great 
achievement,  it  was  simply  a  promise  of 
things  to  come.  The  Tigers  were  moving 
up. 

But  I  don't  think  Coach  Dockery  was 
really  surprised.  When  you  read  the  quote 
above  and  think  about  him  and  his  team, 
you  realize  his  "something  around  the 
corner"  was  the  foresight  of  all  the  Tigers 
could  be.  In  his  eyes,  the  Tigers  were  just 
on  a  side  street,  looking  for  the  right  road. 

Thanks,  Coach,  for  leading  us  around 
the  right  corner. 

We  just  wish  you  could  have  traveled 
with  us  a  little  farther

Winning  Season  Puts  the  Roar  back  into 


The  1983  football  season  was  a  big  step 
for  Memphis  State.  After  succesive  1-10 
seasons,  the  Tigers  put  some  ferociousness 
back  into  their  roar. 

"We've  accomplished  one  of  our  season 
goals,"  said  Tiger  quarterback  Danny 
Sparkman,  who  earned  this  year's  starting 
assignment  from  Trell  Hooper  and  Page 
Belongy.  "The  thing  I  remember  most  is 
our  first  win  over  Ole  Miss,  our  archrival." 

MEMPHIS  STATE  37,  OLE  MISS  17 
(Liberty  Bowl) — This  win  meant  the  most 
to  Tiger  fans,  since  they  had  up  short 
against  Ole  Miss  for  the  past  three  years. 

NORTH  CAROLINA  24,  MEMPHIS 
STATE  10  (Chapel  Hill, N.C.)— The 
highly-touted  Tar  Heels  got  all  they  could 
handle  from  a  scrappy  bunch  of  Tigers. 
North  Carolina  jumped  to  10-0  before 
MSU  stormed  back  to  tie  the  Tar  Heels  by 
intermission.  The  Tigers  drove  80  yards  in 
1 2  plays  for  a  Sparkman  to  Smokey  Jordan 
touchdown  pass  from  six  yards  out.  A  Tar 
Heel  fumble  gave  the  Tigers  possession  at 
the  Carolina  1 2  but  MSU  had  to  settle  for  a 
28-yard  Don  Glosson  field  goal. 

VIRGINIA  TECH  17,  MEMPHIS 
STATE  10  (Liberty  Bowl)— Virginia  Tech's 


defense  had  a  real  nasty  reputation,  and 
the  Tigers  agreed  after  a  disappointing 
loss.  It  was  a  game  marked  by  missed 
scoring  opportunities  and  inconsistency  on 
offense.  Tiger  scores  came  with  a  dazzling 
73-yard  pass  from  Sparkman  to  Jordan 
and  a  26-yard  field  goal  by  Glosson. 

ALABAMA44,  MEMPHIS  STATE  13 
(Tuscaloosa) — The  Tigers  learned  a  good 
first  half  does  not  a  game  make.  MSU 
charged  to  a  10-3  halftime  lead  before 
60,000  stunned  fans.  Glosson  kicked  a 
first-quarter  field  goal  and  tight  end  Ricky 
Sparkman  made  a  falling  catch  on  a  four- 
yard  pass  from  cousin  Danny  to  start  Tiger 
fans  thinking  upset  of  the  century.  The 
Tide's  lone  score  was  a  42-yard  field  goal. 

The  second  half,  however,  was  all 
Alabama,  and  MSU  fans  wondered  who 
kidnapped  the  Tiger  team  that  played  the 
first  half.  Save  a  48-yard  field  goal  by 
Glosson,  The  Crimson  Tide  drowned  the 
Tigers  with  a  21 -point  third  quarter  and  a 
20-point  fourth  quarter. 

MEMPHIS  STATE  28,  TULANE  25 
(Liberty  Bowl) — Tulane  quarterback  Jon 
English  probably  wished  he  had  not  gotton 
a  court-order  to  allow  him  to  take  on  the 


Tigers.  MSU's  secondary  came  up  with 
four  interceptions. 

After  Tulane  jumped  to  a  3-0  lead, 
Rozell  Clayton  took  a  screen  pass  from 
Sparkman  and  raced  down  the  sideline  41 
yards  for  a  7-3  lead.  Again  Tulane  jumped 
ahead  with  two  third-quarter  touchdowns 
before  Enis  Jackson  made  his  first  college 
reception,  a  71-yard  TD  pass  from 
Sparkman.  Defensive  back  Donnie  Elder 
intercepted  an  English  pass  and  returned  it 
13yards  for  another  touchdown  and  a  21- 
17  Tiger  lead.  Jackson  was  not  through, 
hooking  up  with  Sparkman  for  an  18-yard 
touchdown  pass  and  a  28-17  lead. 

Tulane  scored  another  touchdown  and 
moved  to  within  three,  28-25,  after  a  two- 
point  conversion  and  the  Green  Wave 
mounted  its  final  effort  with  time  running 
out.  English  threw  into  the  end  zone  but 
Percy  Nabors,  who  had  two  interceptions 
on  the  night,  tipped  the  ball  and  freshman 
Clay  Bitner  made  the  interception  to 
preserve  a  28-25  victory. 

SOUTHERN  MISSISSIPPI  27,

the  Tigers 


Memphis  State  started  what  could  have 
been  called  the  greatest  comeback  of  all 
time.  With  fans  streaming  for  the  exits, 
freshman  Jerry  Harris  returned  a  kick  off 
98  yards  and  gave  MSU  life.  Less  than  two 
minutes  later,  Sparkman  hit  Eric  Becton 
with  a  12-yard  TD  pass.  With  3:27  left,  the 
Tigers  capped  another  drive  when  Spark- 
man  hooked  up  with  James  'Punkin' 
Williams  on  a  six-yard  touchdown  pass. 
MSU's  last-ditch  effort  to  score  with  1:26 
left  fell  short  and  US M  held  on  for  a  27-20 
win. 

MEMPHIS  STATE  24,  VANDERBILT 
7  (Nashville) — After  an  off  week,  the  Tigers 
took  to  the  road  for  three  games  and  got 
off  to  a  good  start.  Glosson's  32-yard  field 
goal  and  Dwight  Blalock's  stumbling  catch 
gave  Msu  a  10-7  lead  after  one  quarter. 
Vanderbilt  was  not  to  score  again,  but  the 
Tigers  got  insurance  as  Williams  ran  over 
defenders  for  a  20-yard  touchdown  run 
and  Jeff  Womack  ran  all  over  the  field 
shedding  tacklers  before  being  credited 
with  a  nine-yard  TD  jaunt.

Rex  Dockery 


The  "Fight"  in  the  "Fighting  Tigers 


55 


And  now  a  trivia  question  for  all  you 
devoted  MSU  Tiger  Football  fans... 
What  important  event  occured  on  De- 
cember 17,  1980?  Well  if  you  have  kept 
up  to  date  on  your  Tiger  Football 
History,  you  would  know  that  December 
17, 1980,  was  the  day  that  Rex  Dockery 
was  named  head  football  coach  at 
Memphis  State  University  and  Tiger 
football  has  been  looking  up  ever  since. 

Dockery,  raised  in  Cleveland,  Tenn., 
graduated  from  Bradley  County  High 
School  and  signed  with  the  University 
of  Tennessee  where  he  lettered  two 
consecutive  years  as  an  offensive  line- 
man. 

He  began  his  coaching  career  in  1966 
as  head  coach  at  Harriman  High  School. 
In  1968  he  moved  to  Morristown  East 
High  School  where  he  led  his  team  to  a 
two-year  record  of  19-2  and  finally  to 
capture  the  1969  Tennessee  State  AAA 
Championship. 

After  four  years  as  a  high  school 
coach,  Dockery  became  an  assistant 
coach  at  the  University  of  Tennessee 
under  Bill  Battle  for  the  1970  and  1971 
seasons.  In  1972  he  moved  to  Georgia 
Tech  as  the  offensive  line  coach.  From 


there,  Dockery  moved  to  Vanderbilt 
University  as  offensive  coordinator, 
where  he  remained  for  two  years.  When 
Vanderbilt  head  coach  Steve  Sloan 
moved  to  Texas  Tech,  Dockery  also 
joined  the  Red  Raiders  as  offensive 
coordinator. 

In  1978,  Dockery  moved  into  the 
head  coaching  position  at  Texas  Tech 
when  Sloan  left  to  become  the  coach  at 


Ole  Miss.  In  his  first  season,  he  led  his 
team  to  a  7-4  record  and  was  named  the 
Southwest  Conference  and  NCAA 
District  VI  Coach  of  the  Year.  His 
overall  record  at  Texas  Tech  was 
15-16-2. 

Although  when  Dockery  joined  the 
MSU  coaching  staff,  he  began  with  a 
young  and  unseasoned  football  team, 
the  final  1-10-0  record  was  deceiving. 
There  were  close  competitions  with 
Mississippi  State,  Virginia  Tech,  Florida 
State  and  Ole  Miss,  in  addition  to  the 
victory  over  Georgia  Tech. 

Dockery  confronted  a  difficult  season 
in  1982,  complete  with  a  tough  schedule 
and  devastating  injuries.  Again  the 
Tigers  finished  with  a  1  - 1 0-0  record,  the 
single  victory  being  a  12-0  shutout  over 
Arkansas  State  University.  However, 
the  Tigers  suceeded  in  building  a  repu- 
tation as  a  persisitant,  hard-working 
and  hard-hitting  outfit  that  could  look 
forward  to  greater  things.  It  was  that 
reputation  and  the  Tigers'  spirit  and 
optimism  that  carried  over  into  the  1983 
season,  thanks  to  coach  Dockery  and 
our  great  Tiger  football  team.

Improved  their  imaginary  SEC  record  to 
3-1.  The  Bulldogs  could  muster  only  two 
first-half  field  goals  against  the  Tiger 
defense  while  Williams  pounded  in  from 
two  yards  out  and  Glosson  booted  field 
goals  of  28  and  37  yards.  The  defense 
limited  State's  wishbone  attack  to  a  touch- 
down in  the  second  half.  MSU,  however, 
exploded  again  as  Derrick  Crawford 
hauled  in  a  50-yard  bomb  and  a  three- 
yarder  from  Sparkman  before  Glosson 
booted  a  21 -yard  field  goal. 

MEMPHIS  STATE 43,  CINCINNATI 
10  (Cincinnati,  Ohio) — This  was  the  wild 
one!  After  both  teams  had  lack-luster 
first  halves,  the  Tigers  struggled  to  a  13- 
10  lead  in  the  fourth  quarter.  MSU 
scored  on  Womack's  43  yard  run  and 
Glosson's  field  goals  of  38  and  45  yards 
before  the  scoring  barrage.  Sparkman 
was  hobbled  by  an  ankle  injury  and  Page 
Belongy  took  the  controls.  Becton  took  a 
Belongy  pitch  and  ran  54  yards  for  a 
touchdown  at  the  4:37  mark.  Ten  seconds 
later,  after  a  fumbled  kick  off  was 
recovered  by  Curt  Crain,  Womack  scam- 
pered in  from  nine  yards  out.  A  minute 
and  ten  seconds  later,  defensive  end  Tim 


Harris  blocked  a  punt  attempt  into  the 
end  zone  for  a  safety.  Charles  Greenhill 
returned  the  free  kick  69  yards  for  another 
touchdown  and  the  final  tally  came  with 
39  seconds  remaining  when  Belongy 
scored  from  eight  yards  out  after  Nabors 
returned  an  interception  24  yards. 

ARKANSAS  STATE  14,  MEMPHIS 
STATE  14  (Liberty  Bowl)— What  was 
supposed  to  have  been  a  party  for  MSU's 
last  home  game,  turned  out  to  be  a  bust. 
The  fired-up  Indians  man-handled  the 
sluggish  Tigers  and  were  it  not  for  an 
83-yard  touchdown  bomb,  Sparkman  to 
Crawford,  and  Nabors'  77-yard  intercep- 
tion return,  the  Tigers  would  not  have 
escaped  a  loss  against  the  team  that 
provided  the  previous  year's  lone  win. 

Indian  quarterback  Tim  Langford  ran 
the  triple-option  to  near  perfection  and 
showed  he  could  pass  as  he  threw  a  60- 
yard  TD  pass  over  three  Tiger  defenders. 

MEMPHISSTATE 45,  LOUISVILLE 
7  (Louisville,  KY.) — The  Tigers  feasted 
on  Cardinal  for  their  Thanksgiving  dinner 
with  a  45-7  thrashing  of  Louisville  in  the 
season  finale  to  give  Memphis  State's 
football  its  first  winning  season  since 
1977. 

The  Tigers  ended  the  season  with  a 


6-4-1  mark  on  the  strength  of  28  second- 
half  points.  MSU  jumped  toa  17-7  lead  at 
the  intermission  and  never  looked  back. 

Glosson's  32-yard  field  goal  gave  MSU 
a  3-0  lead  but  Louisville  bounced  back 
with  seven  points  in  the  second  quarter 
before  the  Tigers  marched  66  yards  in  12 
plays.  The  drive  was  capped  by  Woods' 
two-yard  dive.  MSU  scored  again  when 
Williams  broke  several  tackles  at  the  line 
of  scrimmage  and  bulled  63  yards  before 
the  half  ended. 

The  icy  conditions  didn't  stop  the  Ti- 
gers. Womack  scored  from  14  yards  out 
and  Williams  scored  his  second  TD  on  a 
17-yard  run  and  the  Tigers  led  31-7. 
Womack  finished  with  140  yards  rushing 
while  Williams  totaled  121.  MSU  gained 
392  yards  on  the  ground  and  39  through 
the  air. 

Belongy  came  on  to  relieve  Sparkman 
at  quarterback  and  completed  his  first 
touchdown  pass  as  a  collegian,  a  23  yard 
strike  to  Avant.  MSU's  final  score  came 
when  linebacker  Crain  picked  off  a  pass 
and  returned  it  74  yards  for  a  touchdown 
and  a  45-7  win.

What  makes  a  great  University? 

Some  people  would  have  you  believe  it  is 
ivy-covered  buildings  built  by  world-famous 
architects,  or  spacious  campuses  with  park- 
like grounds  rolling  over  the  countryside. 
Others  rate  them  by  tuition  fees,  so  much  per 
pound. 

For  some,  the  measure  of  worth  is 
longevity — traditions  built  by  generations  of 
the  same  families  who  attend  the  school  with 
unquestioning  regularity. 

We  at  Memphis  State  recognize  all  those 
virtues. 

But  we  think  we  know  the  one  ingredient 

which  makes  a  University  truly  great.  It's 
people. 

We  want  to  show  you  some  people  who 
care.  They  care  a  lot  about  what  happens  on 
this  bustling  urban  campus. 

Buildings  and  traditions  are  great,  and  we 
know  ours  will  come  as  we  age.  Right  now, 
we  like  the  young  can-do  spirit  which  makes 
everything  seem  possible. 

For  us, it's  the  here,  the  now,  the  living  and 
sharing  with  people  who  care  which  makes 
this  place  and  this  time  BETTER  THAN 
EVER.

Who  Is  That  Masked  Mascot? 


Photo  by  J.  Scott  Vanzandt 


Although  they  seldom  appear  in  public  at  the 
same  time,  Kevin  Vaughan  and  Thomas  Roehm 
enjoy  the  second  looks  they  inspire  when  they  are 
together. 


Patrolling  the  sidelines  at  Memphis  State 
University  basketball  games  this  year  is  a 
tall,  orange  tiger  named  Pouncer. 

Inside  that  tiger  suit,  two  Memphis  State 
students  split  time  going  through  routines. 
They  are  Kevin  Vaughan,  a  senior  engineer- 
ing major  from  Bolivar,  Tenn.,  and  Thomas 
Roehm,  a  junior  engineering  major  from 
Clarksville,  Tenn. 

Vaughan  is  a  veteran  of  the  Pouncer 
suit,  having  been  inside  it  the  past  three 
years.  "The  three  years  that  I  have  been 
doing  the  routines  have  probably  been  the 
most  fun  a  college  student  could  have," 
Vaughan  said. 

"Being  Pouncer  has  been  a  way  for  me  to 
put  humor  into  the  games  Memphis  State 
plays,  but  there  is  also  a  serious  side  of  it 
for  me,"  Roehm  said. 

"The  serious  side  of  Pouncer  has  allowed 
me  to  meet  various  businessmen  and  local 
celebrities  (in  the  Memphis  area),  which  I 
hope  will  help  provide  me  a  business 
contact  when  I  graduate,"  Roehm  said. 

"My  first  year  as  mascot,  I  travelled  with 
the  football  team  to  Atlanta  for  the  game 
with  Georgia  Tech.  All  was  going  well  for 
the  team  and  me  that  day  until  the  last  few 
minutes  of  the  game.  With  about  three 
minutes  left,  I  noticed  a  bunch  of  Georgia 
Tech's  fraternity  pledges  running  from  the 
stands  at  me,  trying  to  rip  off  my  tail  and 
anything  else  they  could  grab  from  the  suit. 


If  it  weren't  for  my  brother  Richard  who 
helped  chase  them  off,  I  would  have  lost 
my  suit  and  my  job,"  Vaughan  said.  The 
good  times  as  Pouncer  however,  have  been 
far  greater  than  the  bad,  and  with  this,  the 
first  year  for  scholarships,  they  are  continu- 
ing to  get  better. 

Ranking  first  on  Pouncer's  list  of  thrills 
was  the  basketball  team's  trip  to  New  York 
City  last  season.  "Everybody  has  his  own 
opinion  of  what  the  city  is  like,  but  it  was 
100  percent  better  than  anything  I  expect- 
ed," Roehm  said. 

"It  was  a  first  class  trip  all  the  way,  with 
the  highlight  of  the  trip  being  our  lunch  at 
Tavern  in  the  Green  in  Central  Park.  The 
only  words  to  really  describe  the  experience 
is  unbelievable.  The  reputation  for  class 
surpassed  any  expectations,"  Vaughan  said. 

Although  playing  the  role  of  Pouncer  is 
a  time  consuming  job,  Vaughan  and  Roehm 
are  also  involved  in  many  other  Memphis 
State  University  activities. 

Vaughan  is  a  presidential  scholar  on  the 
Dean's  list,  a  member  of  the  Ambassador 
Board,  a  brother  in  the  Kappa  Alpha 
fraternity  and  a  member  of  the  Mortar 
Board. 

Roehm  is  a  member  of  the  Pi  Kappa 
Alpha  fraternity  and  works  at  the  Mem- 
phis State  University  athletic  ticket  office.

Arcade  'Bouncer'  Commands  Respect 


If  you  happen  to  walk  into  the  University  Center's  Side  Pocket,  you  may  see  a  room  filled 
with  pool  tables  and  video  machines.  You  will  also  notice  the  constant  noise  from  these 
pastimes.  But  there  is  one  person  in  the  arcade  who  truly  should  not  go  unnoticed — Johnny 
Barnes. 

At  first  glance  behind  the  counter  of  the  Side  Pocket's  service  desk,  on  Monday, 
Wednesday  or  Friday,  you  will  see  a  person 

you  had  better  be  polite  to.  That's  Johnny.  Pho,° by J  s*0"  v,n"nd« 

Standing  six  feet  tall  and  weighing  slightly 
more  than  300  pounds,  Barnes  may  seem 
dangerous  until  you  get  to  know  him. 

"I  get  to  know  just  about  everybody  who 
walks  through  that  door,  one  way  or 
another,"  Barnes  said.  "If  the  student  causes 
no  problems  and  damages  nothing,  I'm 
nice  to  him.  But  if  someone  causes  trouble, 
I  won't  hesitate  to  let  them  know." 

"Sir,"  he  says  quietly.  A  young  man 
quickly  stops  leaning  on  a  pool  table.  One 
word  is  all  Johnny  had  to  say.  Barnes 
points  out  that  there  are  rarely  any  pro- 
blems, and,  in  fact,  most  people  are  just 
looking  for  something  to  do  instead  of 
going  to  class.  "We  have  our  biggest  crowds 
on  Friday,  because  most  everyone  skips 
then,"  he  said. 

A  customer  finishes  his  games  of  pool 
and  approaches  the  desk.  "Number  seven," 
the  customer  mumbles.  Johnny  walks  back 
to  the  board  filled  with  ID's,  and  pulls  off 
the  student's  card.  "That  will  be  $500," 
Barnes  jokes.  He  then  realizes  that  the 
student  is  not  amused.  "Oh,  sorry.  I  guess  I 
read  it  wrong.  You  only  owe  $1.60." 

Barnes'  humor  is  mostly  directed  toward 
the  regular  customers  who  stand  around 
the  desk,  talking  about  anything  that  comes 
to  mind.  One  student  told  Barnes  that  an 
employee  of  the  Side  Pocket  had  made  $60 
giving  change.  "You've  got  about  as  much 
sense  as  a  dead  squirrel,"  Barnes  yells. 
"How  can  anyone  make  money  giving 
change?"  The  student  just  stood  there. 

Barnes  does  not  simply  sit  around  and  talk.  He  must  constantly  check  for  damaged 
equipment  and  serve  the  many  customers  who  enter  the  arcade.  Occasionally,  a  strange 
incident  may  occur  that  makes  Barnes'  day  more  difficult.  "Those  guys  over  there  have 
problems,"  he  said.  "The  other  day  they  were  playing  pool  with  a  friend  who  got  hit  in  the 
head  with  the  cue  ball.  I  had  to  take  the  guy  over  to  the  Health  Center." 

When  he  is  not  too  busy,  John  usually  relaxes  and  lights  up  either  his  pipe  or  a  cigar, 
despite  customer  complaints.  "They  call  these  cigars  aromatic!"  And  what  do  they  call 
Johnny?  "Wonderful,"  he  said. 

—Ethan  Porter 


Johnny  Barnes  is  always  around  The  Side  Pocket 
when  students  need  assistance.

'Cookie  Caper' Inspired  Grandma's  Return  to  School 


Her  first  story,  "The  Cookie  Caper," 
sold  to  a  children's  magazine  for  $40, 
gave  Laverne  Daley  the  boost  she  needed 
to  start  out  on  a  caper  of  her  own. 

It  made  her  think  seriously  about 
writing  as  a  career,  and  eventually  to 
enroll  as  a  full  time  student  at  Memphis 
State. 

The  story  was  written  simply  to  enter- 
tain her  two  small  children  but  friends 
convinced  Daley  she  should  try  to  get  it 
published. 

Daley  said  the  story's  quick  sale  made 
her  try  other  writing  projects.  But,  some 
of  the  projects  turned  out  to  be  almost 
more  than  she  could  handle.  That's 
when  she  decided  to  get  some  training. 

"I  had  several  stories  published — 
then  people  started  asking  me  to  do 
writing  I  felt  I  couldn't  handle,  like 
public  relations  type  stories.  I  didn't  feel 
I  knew  enough  about  it." 

Coming  back  to  school  was  not  an 
easy  step  for  her,  adding  the  responsi- 
bility of  a  full  course  load  to  raising  a 
family.  But  she's  learned  to  deal  with  it. 


"You'd  be  surprised  what  you  can  let 
go.  You  learn  to  do  the  important  things 
and  let  the  non-essentials  go,"  she  said. 

Daley  said  her  husband  and  their  two 
teenagers  still  living  at  home  have  been 
very  supportive — even  when  she  has  to 
ignore  them  to  study  for  a  math  test. 

But  the  dual  role  hasn't  slowed  Daley 
down  too  much.  She's  been  active  on 
campus,  is  a  past-president  of  the  Society 
of  Professional  Journalists  and  is  still 
very  active  in  the  organization. 

"College  can  be  a  lot  more  fun  if  you 
don't  have  other  commitments,"  Daley 
said.  "I  envy  those  who  don't — they  can 
get  involved  with  so  much — there's  a  lot 
going  on  out  there  (at  Memphis  State)." 

Daley  has  had  several  stories  publish- 
ed in  local  magazines  and  journalism 
trade  journals.  She  completed  an  intern- 
ship at  Mid  South  Business  and  was  a 
writer  for  two  years  in  Memphis  State's 
media  relations  department. 

She's  still  not  sure  what  will  happen 
after  graduation,  but  she  plans  to  stick 
with  writing  as  a  career,  either  in  news 


writing  or  public  relations. 

"I'm  not  really  locked  into  any  type  of 
writing.  I  wouldn't  mind  working  for  a 
trade  journal." 

Whatever  happens,  Daley  says  she  is 
glad  she  decided  to  return  to  school. 

"I've  met  a  lot  of  fantastic  people, 
students  and  teachers."

Life's  All  New  to  Foreign  Students 


Facing  a  new  language,  a  new  setting 
and  a  new  lifestyle,  foreign  students 
have  to  be  very  special.  They  must  adapt 
to  the  push  and  shove  atmosphere  and 
still  concentrate  on  the  demanding 
academics  that  brought  most  of  them  to 
America.  Most  of  the  students  have 
found  the  transition  bearable  and  some- 
times surprisingly  pleasant. 

"1  came,  I  saw,  and  I  was  conquered!" 
exclaimed  Max  Hajiomer  during  a 
friendly  gathering  amidst  the  sounds  of 
soul  and  reggae  music. 

Hajiomer,  a  senior  from  Malaysia 
majoring  in  civil  engineering,  said  that 
he  was  conquered  by  the  friendliness  he 
found  throughout  the  country.  "Before 
I  got  here  I  thought  everybody  was  like 
Archie  Bunker,"  he  said. 

Abdollah  Pierow-Salehi,  a  graduate 
student  from  Iran  who  is  seeking  a 
second  degree  in  City  and  Regional 
Planning,  said  that  he  loved  this  country. 
"You  can  go  where  you  want  and  buy 
what  you  want." 

Not  every  student  feels  quite  at  home 
in  America,  though.  The  pressures  and 
problems  of  fitting  in  make  some 
students  wonder  if  the  better  education 
that  can  be  received  is  really  worth  the 
hassles  they  face. 

Engineering  major  Ibrahim 
Khairuddin  from  Malaysia  has  found 
America  to  be  just  like  he  saw  in  the 
movies.  He  did  point  out,  though,  that 
he  has  adapted  easily. 

Likewise,  Jim  Sigh,  a  native  Kenyan, 
sees  America  as  a  strange  country.  "It's 
a  fast  country,"  he  said.  Singh  also 
added  that  Africans  are  friendlier. 

Dean  Arthur  Holman,  the  advisor  of 
Foreign  Student  Affairs,  works  closely 
with  the  International  Student  Associa- 
tion. "It  is  another  method  of  having  a 
political,  economical  and  social  view  of 
the  world  besides  that  of  our  television 
and  newspapers, "he  said.  Holman  feels 
that  working  with  foreign  students  is 
quite  rewarding.

Cindy  Hales  -Breaking  Tn

n 


In  the  Spring  ^4  semester,  Cindy 
Hales  was  named  to  the  position  of 
company  commander  of  the  Memphis 
State  Army  ROTC  program.  After 
receiving  her  bachelor  of  science  degree 
in  biology  this  May,  Hales,  the  first 
female  ever  to  fill  the  post,  will  be 
commissioned  as  a  2nd  lieutenant  in  the 
U.S.  Army.  She  has  already  received 
her  branch  assignment  and  will  become 
an  officer  in  the  Signal  Corps  —  the 
group  which  is  responsible  for  co- 
mmunications in  the  army. 

At  the  end  of  her  sophomore  year  at 
MSU,  Hales  decided  to  investigate  the 
ROTC  program  ,and  she  decided  that  it 
would  be  a  good  opportunity  for  her. 
She  applied  for  and  won  an  ROTC 
scholarship  which  covers  her  tuition, 
her  lab  fees  and  a  fixed  rate  book 
allowance  in  addition  to  a  $100  per 
month  paycheck. 

Hales  has  completed  both  Basic  and 
Advanced  ROTC  camps  over  her  last 
two  summers  and  has  moved  up  through 
the  ranks  from  squad  member  to  an 
assistant  in  administration/training/ 
supply  NCO  to  company  commander. 


As  company  commander,  Hales  is  the 
ranking  cadet  officer  and  is  responsible 
for  all  third  and  fourth  year  cadets' 
training. 

She  was  assigned  to  the  position  of 
company  commander  by  the  ten  cadre 
members,  the  Regular  Army  officers 
stationed  at  MSU  to  oversee  the  ROTC 
program  here.  Their  decision  was  based 
upon  her  grades,  her  personal  abilities, 
her  scores  at  ROTC  Advanced  Camp 
and  her  projected  future  potential. 

Although  75  percent  of  the  cadets  in 
the  ROTC  program  are  male,  Hales 
said  that  all  the  cadets  work  together 
with  mutual  respect.  "Sometimes  the 
guys  give  me  a  hard  time,  but  it's  more 
teasing  than  anything  else,"  she  said.  "I 
respect  them,  and  they  respect  me." 

Hales,  who  graduated  from  high 
school  a  year  early,  will  be  only  20  years 
old  when  she  receives  her  commission  as 
an  officer  in  the  army.  "Being  involved 
in  the  ROTC  program  has  helped  me 
learn  a  lot  of  things  I'm  capable  of  doing 
that  I  might  not  have  thought  of  before," 
she  concluded.

Green  Loves  Her  Work 


How  does  Diane  Green,  a  nutrition 
major  working  on  a  career  in  sports 
medicine,  go  about  getting  practical 
experience? 

The  junior,  who  prepped  at  Memphis 
Central  High  School,  is  MSU's  only 
female  varsity  men's  trainer. 

Trainer,  you  say? 

Green  reports  to  the  Kennedy  Complex 
at  1  p.m.  every  day  and  is  among  the  last 
to  leave  about  7  p.m.  Her  daily  duties 
include  applying  ankle  tape  or  other  pro- 
tective wraps  to  soccer  players  and  making 
juice  for  the  football  and  soccer  teams. 

But  that's  only  the  beginning. 

"I  sometimes  go  over  to  football 
practice,  and  if  it  is  busy,  I  begin  taping 
some  of  them,"  said  Green.  After  all  the 
taping  is  out  of  the  way,  she  watches  over 
practice  in  case  an  emergency  occurs. 

"We  are  there  in  case  someone  needs  to 
be  iced,  or  if  someone  needs  help  for  a 
pulled  muscle,"  she  explained. 

Green  also  assists  in  "treatments," 
planned  programs  for  players  with  injured 


'Just  One  of  the  Boys' 

muscles  or  broken  bones. 

Green  goes  to  all  home  football  games 
and  some  of  the  away  matches.  However, 
soccer  is  her  main  sport.  She  watches 
over  the  soccer  team  most  afternoons. 
Her  job  on  the  field  is  to  provide  water  or 
towel  off  players  as  they  march  to  the 
sidelines. 

This  summer  Green  worked  with  ath- 
letes in  rehabilitation,  mainly  those 
coming  off  operations  in  the  spring. 

Despite  her  non-stop  schedule,  Green 
enjoys  her  lifestyle.  "I  enjoy  working  with 
the  players," she  said.  "There  is  something 
new  going  on  every  day." 

The  limitations  of  being  a  female  trainer 
in  male-dominated  sports  is  a  question 
Green  is  often  asked.  "I  do  everything 
except  go  into  the  locker  rooms,"  she 
said. 

Besides  the  obvious  limitations,  Green 
is  out  there  giving  her  best.  "I  hope  to  be 
doing  this  next  year,  too,"  said  Green.  "It 
will  give  me  experience  that  will  help  me 
in  the  future."

Nightown  Makes  Night  Life  Pay  Off 


Two  Memphis  State  students  drew  up 
the  blueprints  tor  a  nightclub  in  the 
Memphis  State  area  and  saw  their  plans 
come  to  fruition  eight  months  later.  It 
their  business  continues  at  the  current 
feverish  pitch,  they  should  be  there  for  a 
long,  long  time. 

Both  students  wanted  to  have  fun  and 
show  a  little  profit  at  the  same  time. 
They've  done  it,  thus  far  with  Jeffrey's 
Nightown  — formerly  London  Transport. 

"We  wanted  to  build  a  place  that  was 
classy  and  had  good  entertainment,"  21- 
year-old  Chuck  Bolton,  a  senior  in  inter- 
national business,  said.  Bolton  is  the 
club's  main  investor. 

The  junior  partner  in  the  deal  is  20- 
year-old  Michael  Deering.  Another  MSU 
student  --  Christopher  Folk  a  junior 
majoring  in  hotel  management,  helped 
Bolton  to  design  the  club. 

Bolton  and  Deering  became  friends 
after  being  introduced  by  a  mutual  friend 
during  their  spring  vacation  in  Destin, 
Fla.  The  three  were  involved  in  a  car 


accident  but  the  MSU  students  escaped 
unharmed. 

"That  was  the  first  time  I  had  met 
Chuck,"  Deering  said.  Deering  runs  the 
entertainment  side  of  Nightown. 

Bolton  came  to  the  entertainment  field 
after  trying  his  hand  at  selling  insurance. 
"The  money  was  good  but  I  got  bored 
having  to  wear  a  coat  and  tie  every  day." 

"By  the  spring  we  will  have  the  largest 
patio  restaurant  in  Memphis,"  Folk  said. 
He  also  has  plans  to  buy  the  other  half  of 
the  club,  owned  by  Bolton's  father. 

The  three  Memphis  State  students  had 
a  rough  time  getting  financial  backing  for 
the  project.  Bolton  contributed  half  the 
money  he  received  by  selling  his  insurance 
company,  and  a  silent  partner  chipped  in 
the  rest  in  September. 

The  silent  partner,  though,  sold  his  half 
to  Bolton's  father  later  in  the  year. 

After  the  financial  backing  went 
through,  the  trio  began  renovating  the 
club,  which  also  housed  Yesterdays,  at 
one  time. 

"We  wanted  to  do  and   oversee  the 


work  ourselves,  so  for  about  three  weeks 
1  slept  on  the  floor,"  said  Bolton. 

Folk  manages  the  restaurant  section  of 
the  club.  It's  called  Jeffrey's  after  the 
friend  who  introduced  the  two.  Folk 
should  manage  the  restaurant  well  -  his 
parents  own  Folks'  Folly. 

Bolton  has  little  experience  running  a 
restaurant  or  a  nightclub,  though.  So,  he 
surrounded  himself  with  experts  from  the 
field.  Fat  Schrider  is  the  key  to  the 
business,  Bolton  said  of  the  main  chef. 

Bob  Beni/e,  owner  of  Destin's  original 
Nightown,  aids  Bolton  in  finding  concert 
promoters.  Nightown's  performers  have 
ranged  from  the  Drifters  to  the  Producers. 

Bolton  adds  that  the  club  will  showcase 
comedians  three  times  a  week,  along  with 
rock  and  rhythm  and  blues  groups. 

So  far,  Jelfrey's  Nightown  has  been 
attracting  good-si/ed  audiences.  With  a 
little  more  luck,  it  could  begin  attracting 
crowds  from  outside  the  Memphis  State 
area.

Professor  Heeds  Call  of  the  Nile 


Ancient  Memphis  beckoned  and  Dr. 
John  DeMott,  journalism  professor  at 
Memphis  State,  heeded  the  call  which 
took  him  from  the  Mississippi  to  the  Nile. 

Dr.  DeMott  returned  to  Memphis  in 
August  after  a  year  as  visiting  professor 
at  the  American  University  in  Cairo,  near 
the  site  of  the  older  Memphis. 

For  him,  journalism  bridged  the  gap 
between  the  two  cities,  allowing  him  time 
to  work  and  study  in  a  dynamic  city  of  the 
Arab  world,  and  the  chance  to  research 
both  ancient  and  modern  Arabic  life. 

"I  taught  graduate  and  undergraduate 
journalism  courses  and  did  research,"  Dr, 
DeMott  said.  "But  one  study  I  did  had 
nothing  to  do  with  journalism — it  was  a 
study  of  religion  in  ancient  Memphis, 
which,  along  with  Pharaonic  history,  is 
one  of  my  special  interests." 

Other  DeMott  research  did  pertain  to 
journalism — a  study  of  the  Islamic  press 
code  of  ethics,  another  on  women  in 
Egyptian  media  and  another  dealing  with 
the  representation  of  the  scribe — the 
penman  who,  among  the  ancient  Jews, 
was  teacher,  interpreter  and  copyist  of 
Jewish  scripture  and  law. 


Dr.  DeMott  also  studied  the  Middle 
East  News  Agency,  which  serves  the 
Egyptian  government  and  which  also 
reports,  in  French  and  Arabic,  worldwide 
news  to  the  Arabic  world  and  Arabic 
news  to  the  outside  world. 

Along  with  his  students,  Dr.  DeMott 
researched  the  English  language  Egyptian 
Gazette,  founded  by  the  British  103  years 
ago.  "The  Gazette  is  a  fascinating  news- 
paper, changing  now  into  a  very  modern 
paper  mostly  for  Americans  in  Cairo," 
Dr.  DeMott  said.  "For  years  it  was 
mainly  for  British  colonials,  filled  with 
British  news  and  cricket  game  results. 
Now  it  reports  American  football." 

Dr.  DeMott's  students  at  the  American 
University  were  mainly  Egyptian,  al- 
though there  were  also  students  from 
other  Arab  countries  and  from  other 
parts  of  Africa,  from  France,  Indonesia, 
Latin  America  and  the  U.S. 

What  is  the  main  difference  between 
those  students  and  MSU  students?  "In 
Egypt,  all  graduates  are  guaranteed  jobs 
following  graduation,"  Dr.  DeMott  said. 
"The  government  provides  full  employ- 
ment." 


As  mementos  of  his  sabbatical  year  in 
Egypt,  Dr.  DeMott  brought  back  with 
him  an  assortment  of  miniature  scimitars — 
those  short,  single-edged,  curved-bladed 
sabers  which  conjure  up  visions  of  long- 
ago  battles  between  Arabs  and  Turks.

Bruce  Charles  Brown,  a  Memphis  State 
journalism  major,  was  one  of  20  students 
selected  in  the  1984  national  competition 
for  a  Sears  Congressional  Internship  in 
Washington,  D.C. 

Brown,  21,  is  the  first  winner  Memphis 
State  has  had  for  the  $2,050  internship, 
open  only  to  juniors  and  seniors  in  jour- 
nalism programs  accredited  by  the  Ac- 
crediting Council  on  Education  in  Jour- 
nalism and  Mass  Communication 
(ACEJMC). 

Brown's  internship  was  in  the  Wash- 
ington office  of  Sen.  Slade  Gorton,  Re- 
publican from  the  State  of  Washington. 
During  the  February-to-April  term  of  the 
appointment,  Brown  worked  as  a  member 
of  Sen.  Gorton's  staff  in  a  variety  of  tasks 
designed  to  familiarize  him  with  the 
functions  of  a  legislative  office. 

In  addition  to  the  work  with  Sen.  Gorton, 
Brown  participated  in  an  academic  en- 
richment program  organized  by  Louis 
Kohlmeier,  director  of  the  National  Center 
for  Business  and  Economics  Communic- 
ation at  the  American  University  and  a 
Pulitzer-Prize  winning  Washington  corres- 
pondent while  with  the  Wall  Street  Journal. 


Brown  is  working  toward  a  second  major 
in  political  science  and  has  a  3.2  GPA.  He 
has  been  active  with  the  Daily  Helmsman, 
having  served  as  managing  editor  and 
editor  for  the  1982-83  academic  year.  He 
has  interned  with  The  Comercial  Appeal 
and  is  a  former  part-time  writer  for  the 
West  Memphis  Daily  Times. 

A  total  of  35  nominations  for  the  intern- 
ship was  received  and  evaluated  by  the 
1983  national  selection  committee  com- 
posed of  judges  Kohlmeier;  Donald 
Hileman,  dean  of  the  College  of  Com- 
munication at  the  University  of  Tennessee; 
and  Gerald  F.  Seib  of  the  Wall  Street 
Journal. 

All  costs  of  the  program  are  borne  by 
Sears,  Roebuck  and  Co.  as  part  of  the 
firm's  continuing  commitment  to  higher 
education. 

The  Sears  Congressional  Internship 
program  began  in  1 969  in  cooperation  with 
the  journalism  accrediting  council.  Since 
its  inception,  the  program  has  had  299 
interns  serving  in  274  different  Congres- 
sional offices,  52  on  the  staff  of  Senators 
and  247  on  the  staff  of  members  of  the 
House  of  Representatives.

216      President  Carpenter 


Carpenters  Now  4- Year  Veterans 


The  head  of  this  compex  organization  called  Memphis  State 
is  President  Thomas  G.  Carpenter,  now  completing  his  fourth 
year  in  that  role. 

Although  Dr.  Carpenter  was  raised  in  Winston-Salem,  N.C., 
he  attended  college  in  Atlanta,  Ga.,  his  birthplace. He  left 
Georgia  State  to  serve  in  the  U.S. Navy  from  1944-46,  and  when 
he  married  a  Memphis  native,  Oneida  Pruette,  moved  here  to 
complete  his  undergraduate  degree  in  business  at  Memphis 
State. 

He  went  on  to  earn  his  masters  in  economics  at  Baylor 
University  and  his  doctorate  in  economics  at  the  University  of 
Florida.  From  1965  to  1980  he  remained  at  the  University  of 
North  Florida,  first  as  business  manager,  then  vice  president 
for  academic  affairs,  and  finally  president,  the  post  he  held 
until  coming  full  circle  back  to  Memphis  State. 

An  earnest  booster  for  the  University,  Dr.  Carpenter  feels 
that  even  the  campus  community  has  to  be  reminded  of  its  own 
quality.  As  for  the  city,  when  he  became  president  in  the 
summer  of  1980,  he  found  that  many  citizens  still  thought  of 
Memphis  State  as  they  remembered  its  teacher  college  days. 

"This  is  one  of  two  comprehensive  universities  in  the  state," 
he  reminds  anyone  who  will  listen.  "People  come  on  campus 
and  say  what  wonderful  facilities  we  have,  but  unless  they  come 
here  they  don't  know  about  it."  That  was  one  of  his  first 
priorities  when  he  took  over  the  reins  as  president:  making  the 
state,  the  city  and  the  campus  itself  aware  of  the  high  quality, 
and  the  even  higher  potential  he  envisioned. 


Dr.  and  Mrs.  Thomas  G.  Carpenter  are  marking  their  fourth  year  as  Memphis 
State's  President  and  First  Lady.  It  was  a  homecoming  for  Mrs.  Carpenter, 
who  is  a  Memphis  native.

President  Carpenter      217 


President  Shows  Pride  in  University 


Admitting  that  there  are  still  a  few 
problems  to  be  solved,  Dr.  Carpenter  cites 
financial  cutbacks  and  parking  as  two  of 
the  major  ones.  The  state  of  the  economy 
has  hurt  all  campuses,  he  believes.  Here,  he 
notes  that  many  organizations  had  prob- 
lems maintaining  membership  when  so 
many  students  couldn't  afford  to  participate 
or  had  to  work  just  to  stay  in  school.  He  is 
concerned  with  that  lack  of  participation 
because  he  believes  extra-curricular  acti- 
vities play  a  major  role  in  college  life  for  the 
individual  student  and  the  university. 

The  University  will  continue  to  make 
concerted  efforts  to  see  that  this  aspect  of 
campus  life  will  develop  more  fully,  he 
says.  Dr. Carpenter  continues  to  support  a 
strong  athletic  program,  believing  this  is 
one  of  the  many  ways  the  University 
impresses  its  image  upon  the  country.  He 
believes  that  the  positive  image  of  Memphis 
State  athletes  has  encouraged  many  to 
explore  other  programs  at  the  University 
and  has  helped  determine  its  growth. 

Carpenter,  who  believes  in  an  "open- 
door"  policy  realizes  he  can't  possibily  talk 
to  each  of  the  22,000  students,  but  "I  will 
see  as  many  as  I  can,"  he  says.

Though  he  enjoyed  his  college  years,  Dr.  R. 
Eugene  Smith,  vice  president  for  business  and 
finance,  says  he  is  glad  he  doesn't  have  to  compete 
with  today's  students.  They  are  more  sophisticated 
today  and  have  a  broader  educational  background, 
he  believes. 

Working  and  studying  kept  him  too  busy  for 
many  activities,  but  the  Lebanon,  Tenn.  native  says 
it  was  still  a  lot  of  fun.  He  received  his  bachelor's 
degree  from  Middle  Tennessee  State  College  in 
1957  and  went  to  work  for  the  State  of  Tennessee  as 
an  auditor.  He  had  moved  up  to  the  post  of  director 
before  leaving  government  for  Memphis  State

director  in  1963.  He  received  his  master's  degree 
here  in  1966  and  his  doctorate  from  the  University 
of  Mississippi  in  1979. 

Dr.  Smith  also  teaches  a  graduate  course  in

Dr.  Oliphant,  who  was  born  in  Taylor,  Miss., 
had  spent  a  childhood  of  moving  from  state  to  state, 
wherever  his  father's  job  with  Tenneco  took  them. 
After  graduating  from  a  Pennsylvania  high  school, 

he  decided  it  was  time  to  return  "home." 

While  a  student,  he  was  a  member  of  the  Society 
for  the  Advancement  of  Management;  Alpha  Kappa 
Psi,  a  business  fraternity;  Beta  Gamma  Sigma,  and 
the  Baptist  Student  Union.  After  receiving  his 
bachelor  of  business  administration  in  1963,  he 
went  on  to  obtain  his  master's  degree  from  Memphis 
State  in  1964.  In  1969  he  received  his  doctorate 
from  Mississippi  State  University. 

He  then  taught  finance  and  economics  and  was  a 
research  assistant  in  the  Manpower  Center  at 
Mississippi  State.  Later  he  became  a  professor  of 
management  in  the  Fogelman  College  of  Business. 

Dr.  Oliphant  calls  his  1975  trip  to  Japan  a  high 
point  in  his  career.  Representing  Memphis  State 
and  speaking  at  the  MSU  sister  institution,  Chuo 
Gakuin  University  in  Tokyo,  was  an  experience  he 
says  he  will  never  forget.  He  still  stays  in  touch  with 
some  members  of  the  Japanese  university  faculty. 

Dr.  Oliphant  and  his  wife,  Carolyn,  have  one 
daughter,  Renee,  now  15.

Vice  Presidents 


Sports  played  a  big  part  in  the  life  of  Dr.  Donald 
K.  Carson,  vice  president  of  student  services.  "I 
think  there's  real  value  in  athletics  if  it's  not 
overdone,"  the  one-time  defensive  back  says.  "It 
provided  me  with  a  college  education!" 

Still  an  avid  sports  fan,  Dr.  Carson  reminisced 
about  his  college  life  at  the  University  of  Kentucky 
which,  in  addition  to  the  football  team,  also 
included  serving  as  chairman  of  the  Judicial  Board 
and  membership  in  Student  Government  and  Sigma 
Chi  fraternity. 

When  he  graduated  in  1962,  Dr.  Carson  went  on 
to  attend  William  Andrew  Patterson  School  of 
Diplomacy,  receiving  his  doctorate  degree  in  1966. 
Those  years  brought  him  more  than  a  degree, 
however,  for  while  a  graduate  student,  he  married 
his  high  school  sweetheart,  Felicia  Shoemaker,  of 
Oneida,  Tenn. 

After  completing  his  graduate  work,  Dr.  Carson 
taught  at  Kentucky  Southern  College,  now  a  part  of 
Louisville  University,  and  then  at  Georgetown 
College.  He  became  dean  of  students  at  Marshall 
University  in  Huntington,  W.  Va., where  he  re- 
mained until  coming  to  Memphis  State  as  associate 
vice  president  for  student  affairs  in  1974. 

The  Carsons  have  three  children:  sons  Chris, 16 
and  Todd,  14  and  a  daughter  Molly,9.

Dr.  Jerry  Boone,  vice  president  for  academic 
affairs,  needs  all  his  skills  in  psychology  to  keep  that 
busy  office  running  smoothly. 

It  was  the  Veteran's  Administration  Hospital 
which  first  drew  Dr.  Boone  to  Memphis,  and  his 
next  move  was  to  the  Memphis  Speech  and  Hearing 
Center.  While  working  there  as  a  psychologist,  he 
began  teaching  part  time  at  Memphis  State,  and  the 
attachment  grew. 

His  clinical  psychology  and  administration  have 
a  lot  in  common,  Dr.  Boone  maintains  saying, 
"You  meet  a  lot  of  interesting  people  in  both  places; 
sometimes  it's  hard  to  tell  the  difference!" 

"I  did  everything  you  are  supposed  to  do  in  high 
school,"  he  claims.  Then  he  went  on  to  the  University 
of  Mississippi  where  he  received  a  bachelor's  degree 
in  both  speech  and  English.  He  sang  with  a  quartet 
and  was  also  on  the  debating  team  and  says  he 
enjoyed  those  college  years  enormously.  "Unor- 
ganized fun  is  the  best  kind,"  he  says. 

He  then  went  to  the  University  of  Florida  and 
received  his  master's  degree  in  speech  pathology 
and  psychology.  He  taught  speech  pathology  for 
the  next  five  years  before  returning  to  school,  this 
time,  Vanderbilt  University.  After  he  completed  his 
doctorate,  Memphis  beckoned. 

Dr.  Boone  and  his  wife,  Doris,  have  five  children 
ranging  in  age  from  8  to  31.

ACADEMIC  DEANS 


Dr.  John  H.  Wakely,  Dean  of  the  College  of  Arts 
and  Sciences,  is  a  firm  believer  in  the  value  of 
education. 

"I  believe  it  is  necessary  to  be  educated,  no  matter 
what  you  want  to  do,"  he  said. 

He  believes  even  more  specifically  that  a  Liberal 
Arts  education  can  best  serve  to  enhance  one's  life, 
and  has  lived  that  belief  by  spending  much  of  his 
own  life  obtaining  it. 

Dean  Wakely,  a  native  of  Mansfield,  Ohio, 
started  on  his  personal  education  road  at  the 
College  of  Wooster  in  Ohio,  majoring  in  psychology. 
To  finance  that  education,  he  worked  at  odd  jobs 
which  included  being  a  shoe  salesman,  grocery 
store  clerk  and  stevadore. 

He  received  his  bachelor's  degree  in  1954  and 
then  entered  the  armed  forces  where  he  served  until 
1956.  Upon  returning  to  the  United  States,  he 
entered  North  Carolina  State  where  he  received  a 
master  of  science  degree.  He  then  went  on  to 
Michigan  State  University  for  his  doctorate. 

His  first  job  after  graduating  was  with  Corning 

Glassware  in  Corning,  N.  Y.  It  was  not  long  until  he 

returned  to  his  real  love,  education.  After  teaching 

at  several  universities,  he  came  to  Memphis  State  in 

1980,  becoming  Dean  of  the  College  of  Arts  and 

Sciences.

Dr.  M.E.  Bond,  Dean  of  the  Fogelman  College 
of  Business  since  1979,  was  first  interested  in  a 
career  in  economics,  but  changed  his  mind.  It  was  a 
change  he  has  never  regretted. 

During  the  1950s  and  60s,  he  worked  at  odd  jobs 
to  pay  his  way  through  college — The  University  of 
Iowa — where  this  native  of  Bloomfield  County, 
Iowa  obtained  his  degree  in  business  administration. 

While  teaching  some  banking  courses  in 
Minnesota  he  discovered  a  new  love.  "I  found  that  I 
really  enjoyed  teaching,"  he  said.  So  back  to  Iowa 
he  went  to  attend  graduate  school. 

He  later  began  teaching  at  college  level  and  has 
continued  that  career  for  20  years. 


222     Administration 


Dr.  Nicholas  L.  White,  Dean  of  the  Cecil  C. 
Humphreys  School  of  Law,  believes  that  most  of 
his  goals  in  life  have  been  fulfilled.  "Things  have 
fallen  in  place  pretty  well,"  he  muses. 

Dr.  White,  a  native  of  Ohio,  said  that  his  first 
goal  was  to  go  into  his  family's  business,  which  he 
did  after  receiving  a  degree  in  business  and 
economics.  After  several  years  the  field  of  law 
began  to  interest  him  more  and  more,  so  he  began 
law  school  in  Cincinnatti. 

"I  looked  upon  the  law  as  a  real  opportunity  to 
do  some  interesting  and  challenging  work  for  the 
rest  of  my  life,"  he  said. 

After  graduating  from  law  school,  he  became  a 
partner  in  a  national  law  firm.  But  after  14  years,  he 
decided  he  would  really  like  to  teach  the  subject  he 
knew  best.  In  addition,  teaching  has  given  him  the 
freedom  to  pursue  other  matters  pertaining  to  law, 
he  said,  adding  that  while  he  was  in  private  practice, 
he  did  not  have  that  kind  of  freedom. 

Dr.  White  will  be  retiring  as  dean  at  the  end  of 
this  year,  but  plans  to  continue  teaching  and  doing 
research.  He  has  served  as  dean  for  seven  years. 

—Ruth  Turner 


Dr.  Richard  Ranta,  Dean  of  the  College 
of  Communication  and  Fine  Arts  is  the 
only  dean  that  young  college  has  had.  He 
actually  helped  to  create  the  college,  which 
combines  music,  art,  journalism  and  theatre 
and  speech  and  became  its  dean  in  1977. 

It's  a  happy  combination  for  the  dean 
who,  in  his  college  years,  won  a  Best  Actor 
Award  and  worked  on  local  radio  and 
television  stations  to  pay  his  tuition. 

He  came  to  Memphis  State  in  1972  as  a 
professor  in  the  communication  department. 

The  Minnesota  native  holds  the  reputa- 
tion as  "campus  workaholic",  and  with  his 
many  interests  and  activities  probably  does 
need  more  than  24  hours  in  his  day.  In 
addition  to  his  Memphis  State  respon- 
sibilities, he  is  a  force  in  the  Grammy 
Awards,  chairman  of  the  Memphis  and 
Shelby  County  Music  Commission,  has 
been  on  the  board  of  Memphis  Ballet/  Ballet 
South  and  Opera  Memphis,  works  with 
the  W^CNO  Advisory  Board  and  with 
Concerts  International. 

Art  and  culture  do  not  have  a  monopoly 

on  his  life,  however,  for  he  is  an  avid  sailor 
and  tennis  player. 

"I  like  what  I'm  doing.  I  like  the  people 
and  the  college  and  the  city.  I  like  to  feel 
that  what  I  do  can  make  a  difference,"  he 
says.

A  CADEMIC  DEANS 


Dr.  Orville  E.  Wheeler,  dean  of  the  Herff  College 
of  Engineering,  is  a  pioneer  from  the  Space  Age. 

Wheeler,  a  native  Memphian  with  an  interest  in 
architecture,  attended  Vanderbilt  University.  Since 
no  major  in  architecture  was  offered,  he  chose  to 
study  civil  engineering.  He  then  attended  the  Uni- 
versity of  Missouri  where,  in  1955,  he  received  his 
masters  of  science  in  civil  engineering. 

Between  the  years  of  1955-59,  Dr.  Wheeler  was  a 
pilot  and  airship  commander  in  the  U.S.  Navy.  He 
was  stationed  at  Lake  Hurst,  N.J. 

After  he  left  the  Navy,  he  worked  for  aircraft 
companies  and  the  space  program  in  Huntsville, 
Ala.  during  the  early  sixties.  He  said  that  during 
this  period  many  people  were  working  to  put  a  man 
on  the  moon.  "It  was  a  decade  of  inventing  on 
schedule,"  he  now  says. 

In  1972,  Dr.  Wheeler  went  to  Milwaukee  to  work 
for  Bucyrus-Erie  Co.,  a  manufacturer  of  strip- 
mining  equipment.  He  was  chief  structural  engineer 
there  until  1978  when  he  became  dean  of  the 
College  of  Engineering  at  Memphis  State. 

Since  coming  to  Memphis  State,  Dr.  Wheeler  has 
been  a  regional  officer  in  the  American  Society  for 
Engineering  Education  and  a  director  of  the 
Engineers  Club  of  Memphis.

"I  like  teachers,  I  like  books  and  1  like  students," 
said  Dr.  Ramsey  Fowler,  Dean  of  the  University 
College.  All  those  likes  have  come  together  to  make 
his  post  the  perfect  job  for  him. 

Dr.  Fowler,  a  native  of  Brooklyn,  entered  the 
world  of  higher  education  with  a  scholarship  to 
Princeton  University  where  he  received  his  degree 
in  education.  Later  he  won  a  scholarship  to  Harvard 
University,  where  he  received  a  master  of  arts 
degree. 

After  graduating,  he  taught  high  school  in  Boston 
for  two  years  and  then  returned  to  school  himself. 
This  time  it  was  the  University  of  Michigan,  where 
he  received  his  doctorate. 

In  1968,  Dean  Fowler  came  to  Memphis  State  to 
work  in  the  English  department.  During  this  time, 
he  directed  the  sophomore  and  freshman  English 
courses.  He  also  worked  in  the  development  of  a 
writing  program  and  wrote  the  Little  Brown  Book. 

In  1980  he  became  Dean  of  the  University 
College.

Dr.  Robert  L.  Saunders,  Dean  of  the  College  of 
Education,  is  the  senior  dean  on  the  Memphis  State 
campus. 

After  obtaining  degrees  from  Auburn  University, 
Troy  Teacher's  College,  Millsaps  College  and 
Franklin  and  Marshall  College,  Saunders  started  to 
make  that  contribution  by  teaching  high  school 
students. 

"I  thought  I  was  going  to  starve  to  death  as  a 
teacher,"  he  said  with  a  laugh,  adding  that  he  didn't 
have  a  car  and  had  to  work  weekends  to  make  ends 
meet.  He  moved  up  the  administrative  ladder, 
becoming  a  principal. 

People  told  him  he  was  a  good  administrator,  so 
after  receiving  his  doctorate,  he  went  into  higher 
education  administrative  work. 


H.  Joan  Dodson,  a  native  of  Sparta,  Tenn.,  says 
that  she  has  never  regretted  going  into  the  nursing 
field.  "I  like  the  feeling  you  get  when  helping 
someone,"  she  said. 

Ms.  Dodson,  chairman  for  the  Department  of 
Nursing,  said  that  working  in  this  field  provides  an 
opportunity  to  assist  people  through  life  crises. 

Ms.  Dodson  studied  at  the  University  of 
Tennessee  where  she  received  a  B.  S.  degree  in 
nursing  in  1958. 

In  1967,  she  decided  to  get  a  masters  degree  in 
education  so  that  she  could  teach  nursing.  "I  felt 
that  I  could  help  more  people  in  this  role,"  she  said. 

She  worked  in  this  program  until  it  was  phased 
out  in  1980  when  the  current  B.  S.  N.  Program  was 
begun.  Before  joing  the  new  B.  S.  N.  Program,  Ms. 
Dodson  returned  to  the  University  of  Tennessee 
Center  for  the  Health  Sciences  where  she  received  a 
masters  degree  in  nursing  in  1978.

Dean  Clarence  O.  Hampton,  associate  dean  of 
students  at  Mephis  Stae,  says  his  real  ambition  in 
life  was  to  be  a  coach.  So  after  returning  from  the 
North  Pacific  Aleutian  Islands  where  he  was 
stationed  during  World  War  II,  he  enrolled  at 
Lambuth  College  in  Jackson,  Tenn.  He  stayed  true 
to  that  dream  and  received  his  bachelor  of  science 
degree  with  a  major  in  physical  education. 

During  his  undergraduate  years,  Dean  Hampton 
was  a  member  of  several  clubs,  including  Kappa 
Alpha  fraternity.  He  also  had  the  honor  of  being 
selected  to  Who's  Who  in  American  Colleges  and

1955,  he  attended  Memphis  State  where  he  received 
a  master  of  education  degree  in  guidance  and 
personal  services.  He  has  also  done  postgraduate 
work  in  guidance,  personal  services  and  admin- 
istration for  higher  education. 

During  the  1970s,  Dean  Hampton  worked  as  a 
probation  officer,  often  serving  as  a  counselor  to 
juvenile  delinquents.  Comparing  that  job  to  his 
present  work,  he  says  his  biggest  adjustment  was 
the  change  from  being  a  counseling  friend  to  an 
authority  figure. 


"I  have  never  really  been  out  of  school 
since  I  started  the  first  grade,"  says  Jo 
Strickland,  adviser  to  the  Student  Activities 
Council. 

Explaining  that  school  has  been  a  lifetime 
home  for  her,  Ms.  Strickland,  a  native  of 
Clearwater,  Fla.,  says  she  has  been  in 
school  one  way  or  another  for  a  long  time 
and  has  always  enjoyed  it. 

Ms.  Strickland  began  college  at  Stetson 
University  in  Deland,  Fla. Before  receiving 
a  bachelor's  degree  in  history  in  1977,  she 
was  very  active  on  campus. 

She  returned  to  Memphis  State  to  work 
on  a  masters  degree  in  guidance  counseling. 

After  graduating,  Ms.  Strickland  worked 
at  Christian  Brothers  College,  in  the 
admissions  department.  In  1980  she  became 
MSU  assistant  adviser  to  University  Pro- 
grams. In  1 982  she  was  promoted  to  adviser. 
Her  position  includes  working  with  such 
committees  as  Fashion  Board,  special 
events  and  speakers,  all  of  which  she  says 
she  thoroughly  enjoys. 


Administration      229 


Working  with  a  big  company  was  the 
original  ambition  of  John  Jay  Anderson 
director  of  University  Center. 

A  native  of  Logan,  Utah,  Anderson 
attended  Utah  State  University.  He  majored 
in  business  administration,  following  boy- 
hood instincts.  Anderson  said  he  pictured 
himself  with  a  job  in  accounting.  Then,  he 
said  he  realized  that  would  be  a  mistake.  "I 
couldn't  sit  for  eight  hours  a  day!"  he  said. 
After  being  graduated,  he  was  a  military 
personnel  officer  for  two  years. 

When  Anderson  returned  from  service, 
he  became  program  director  of  Utah  State's 
University  Center.  In  1968,  he  accepted  the 
directorship  of  MSU's  University  Center. 

Anderson  said  he  found  considerable 
satisfaction  in  his  job.  "It's  a  never  ending 
diversity  of  activities  that  keeps  me  in- 
terested, programs  come  and  go.  The  real 
excitement  is  watching  the  developement 
of  a  student,"  he  said. 

Anderson  is  firm  in  his  beliefs  about  the 
importance  of  outside  activities.  He  said, 
"The  right  amount  of  extracurricular 
activities  is  advantageous  to  any  individual. 


STUDENT  EDUCATIONAL  SERVICE 


Adviser  for  Greek  Affairs,  Ms.  Mindy 
Sopher,  has  made  college  life  her  career.  "I 
wanted  to  be  a  continual  student  and  a 
continual  educator,"  she  said. 

A  native  of  Grove  City,  Penn.,  she 
started  college  majoring  in  political  science 
at  Wittenberg  University  in  Springfield, 
Ohio. 

As  an  undergraduate,  she  was  president 
of  Kappa  Delta  sorority  and  the  Residence 
Hall  councel.  She  also  helped  write  the 
school's  mission  statement  which  created  a 
safe  and  healthy  campus. 

Though  her  main  interest  was  politics, 
she  was  greatly  influenced  by  college  life- 
styles. She  said  she  believes  in  living  up  to 
the  vows  of  her  sorority. 

Later,  she  attended  Bowling  Green  State 
University.  She  received  a  Master  of  Arts 
in  college  student  personnel.  Then,  she 
became  involved  with  Greek  affairs  at 
Heidelberg  College  in  Tiffin,  Ohio. 

Before  coming  to  MSU  this  year,  she 
was  involved  with  several  Greek  organi- 
zations at  numerous  universities.  She  said 
MSU  is  a  very  pleasant  place  to  work 
because  the  people  are  warm.  She  said,  "I 
can  tell  people  are  very  loyal  to  Memphis 
State."

Marriage  and  family  counseling  was  the 
primary  ambition  of  Dr.  Dewaine  Rice, 
director  of  resident  life  at  MSU.  That  idea 
slowly  changed  after  he  realized  working  at 
a  university  would  be  more  interesting. 
"There's  something  about  a  college  campus 
that's  invigorating,"  he  said.

Dr.  Rice  said  his  undergraduate  years  at 
University  of  Central  Arkansas  in  Conway 
were  delightful  He  was  a  member  of  the 
residence  counsel  and  the  psychology  club. 
Before  receiving  a  bachelor  of  science  in 
psychology  in  1971,  he  was  married. 

After  being  graduated,  Dr.  Rice,  a  Little 
Rock  native,  taught  junior  high  school 
science  in  West  Memphis.  In  1974  he 
entered  MSU's  graduate  school. 

Dr.  Rice  worked  as  a  graduate  assistant. 
He  said  it  didn't  take  long  to  become 
enthralled  by  the  administrative  aspect  of 
the  University. 

By  1975,  Dr.  Rice  became  assistant  director 
of  residence  life.  After  only  two  years,  he 
was  promoted  to  director. 


Dr.  Robert  A.  Marczynski,  assistant 
dean  for  Student  Judicial  Affairs,  has  been 
involved  with  residence  life  most  of  his 
career. 

A  native  of  Lansing,  Mich.,  Dr. 
Marczynski  is  a  lawyer  who  worked  in  the 
residence  life  office  during  his  law  school 
days  at  the  University  of  Toledo  in  Toledo, 
Ohio. 

"I  tried  to  combine  my  law  backgound 
with  my  higher  education  background,"  he 
said.  And  Dr.  Marczynski  is  still  combining 
the  two  in  his  current  job  which  deals  with 
student  discipline. 

Even  though  he  may  see  the  bad  side, 
Dr.  Marczynski  says  he  enjoys  working  on 
a  college  campus.  His  first  enjoyment  of 
campus  life  came  when  he  attended  John 
Karroll  University,  where  he  received  a 
degree  in  economics.  He  earned  his  law 
degree  at  Toledo  in  1981,  and  got  his 
Tennessee  law  certificate  in  1982. 

While  an  undergraduate,  he  was  a 
member  of  many  clubs  and  the  recipient  of 
many  honors  including  being  named  to  the 
National  Dean's  List.

"I  am  not  doing  what  I  prepared  to  do  at  age  18" 
said  Dr.  Marion  F.  Emslie,  associate  dean  of 
students  at  Memphis  State  University. 

Despite  an  interest  in  law,  she  began  her  under- 
graduate career  at  Boston  University  in  English. 
However,  Dr.  Emslie  was  soon  wooed  into  Public 
Relations  and  Communications. 

The  exciting  and  artistic  opportunities  she 
envisioned  as  a  writer  propelled  her  into  countless 
activities.  She  said  living  and  learning  are  prere- 
quisites to  being  a  good  writer. 

After  receiving  a  bacclaureate  in  Communications 
in  1961,  Dr.  Emslie  successfully  explored  com- 
mercial writing.  VVGBH,  the  prominent  educational 
Boston  television  is  listed  as  only  one  of  Dr. 
Emslie's  clients. 

To  satisfy  her  need  for  learning,  she  entered 
Northeastern  University.  Pursuing  a  Master  of 
Education,  her  area  of  interest  was  American 
history  and  diplomacy. 

Even  with  two  strong  degrees  and  solid  work 
experience,  Dr.  Emslie  was  not  satisfied.  Prior  to 
coming  to  Memphis  State  in  1977,  Dr.  Emslie 
received  a  Doctorate  in  Higher  Education  Ad- 
ministration from  the  University  of  Virginia. 

Dr.  Emslie  said  she  feels  the  variety  of  skills, 

especially  writing,  and  experiences  she  accrued  are 

a  plus  in  all  types  fo  careers.

Having  a  dream  is  a  must,  according  to 
Dean  Arthur  Holmon,  associate  dean  for 
Minority  Affairs  at  Memphis  State. 

Earning  a  football  scholarship  and 
working  at  an  ice  house  in  Nashville, 
Holmon,  a  native  Memphian,  sought  to 
fulfill  his  dream  by  attending  Tennessee 
State. 

Though  he  had  no  ambition  to  go  to  the 
pros,  Holmon  was  drafted  by  the  Minnesota 
Vikings.  He  played  one  pro  year,  but  an 
injury  ended  that  possible  career. 

Holmon  returned  to  Tennessee  State 
and  received  a  degree  in  history.  He  then 
taught  and  coached  in  the  Memphis  school 
system  for  nine  years.  During  that  time  he 
earned  a  Master's  in  Secondary  Education 
from  Memphis  State. 

In  the  early  70s,  Holmon  became  an 
assistant  dean  of  students  at  MSU  and 
worked  primarily  with  minority  students.

The  Coordinator  of  Academic  Coun- 
seling at  MSU,  Ms.  Dorothy  Dodson,  said 
she  was  drawn  into  University  work. 

A  teacher  at  jackson,  Tenn.,  Junior  high 
school,  ms.  Dodson  heard  an  MSU  speaker 
discuss  academic  counseling.  "You've  just 
described  the  only  counseling  job  I'll  give 
you  a  nickel  for,"  she  said. 

But  Ms.  Dodson's  career  started  at  a 
much  earlier  age.  She  said  during  her 
elementary  school  days  at  Alamo,  Tenn., 
she  often  helped  her  aunt  teach.  She  said 
she  often  was  asubstitute  teacher. 

Ms.  Dodson  earned  a  biology  degree 
along  with  an  elementary  teacher's  certi- 
ficate from  Lambuth  College. 

Immediately  after  her  trip  to  the  Orient, 
Ms.  Dodson  came  to  Memphis  to  teach  at 
Hollywood  Jr.  High.  She  also  enrolled  in 
MSU's  graduate  program.  With  a  Master's 
degree  in  counseling,  she  returned  to 
Hollywook  Jr.  High. 

She  soon  became  Academic  Counselor 
at  MSU.  After  eight  years  she  became  the 
Coordinator  of  Academic  Counseling.  Ms. 
Dodson  said  she  continuse  to  be  involved.

"Ever  since  high  school,  I've  had  a  great  interest 
in  people  and  their  potential,"  said  Dr.  Dennis 
Heitzmann,  director  of  the  Center  for  Student 
Development. 

Dr.  Heitzmann,  a  native  of  Chicago,  received  a 
B.A.  in  psychology  from  Notern  Illinois  University 
in  1968.  To  pay  his  way  through  college  he  drove 
delivery  trucks  through  rioting  Chicago.  He  also 
worked  on  the  loading  docks. 

Dr.  Heitzmann  received  an  M.A.  in  counseling 
psychology  from  DePaul  University  in  Chicago  in 
197 1  and  earned  his  Ph.D.  in  counseling  psychology 
at  the  University  of  Texas  at  Austin  in  1974. 

Dr.  Heitzmann  moved  from  Texas  to  Memphis, 
originally  to  Southwestern  University  where  he 
taught  in  the  Psychology  Department  and  worked 
as  a  counselor.  In  1977  he  came  to  Memphis  State 
to  direct  the  Center  for  Student  Deelopment.  His 
present  duties  range  from  monitoring  the  center's 
budget  to  counseling  students. 

Dr.  Heitzmann  said  he  continues  to  find 
psychology  fascinating  and  stimulating  and  that  it 
really  applies  to  all  facets  of  his  work.  "The 
knowledge  of  psychology  and  the  knowledge  of 
people  help  me  to  be  a  better  administrator,"  he 
said.

Walter  S.  Warren,  Director  of  Placement  Ser- 
vices, said  that  his  job  is  to  help  students  sell 
themselves  to  prospective  employers. 

"I  believe  everybody  is  selling  a  product,  idea,  or 
themselves  in  everything  they  do,"  he  said. 

Warren,  a  native  of  Union  City,  TN,  wanted  a 
career  which  involved  selling.  He  started  moving 
toward  this  goal  when  he  began  attending  Memphis 
State  during  the  days  of  Win  Wilfong.  He  graduated 
from  MSU  in  1958  with  a  degree  in  marketing. 

After  graduating,  he  worked  for  International 
Harvester  and  Ford  Motor  Company  in  Memphis. 
When  he  came  to  MSU's  Placement  in  1968  to  look 
for  a  job,  he  was  hired  by  the  placement  department. 
While  working  there,  he  received  his  masters  degree 
in  marketing. 

In  explaining  the  transition  he  made  from  selling 
products  to  selling  people,  Warren  pinpointed  the 
major  difference:  a  product  doesn't  have  a 
personality. 

Warren  has  had  many  honors,  including  being 
the  president  of  three  organizations:  Tennessee 
College  Placement  Association,  Southern  College 
Placement  Association  and  the  College  Placement 
Council.

participant  in  extra-curricular  activities.  Beyond 
his  time-consuming  position  as  editor  of  the  student 
newspaper  (then  the  "Tiger  Rag"),  he  was  a  member 
of  Pi  Delta  Epsilon,  journalism  honorary.  He  said 
he  believes  being  involved  in  on-campus  activities 
helps  a  student  become  more  oriented  and  gives  a 
student  better  visibility  on  campus. 

After  graduation,  Holmes  served  two  years  in  the 
Army  and  worked  for  the  next  five  years  with  The 
Commercial  Appeal.

Billy  J.  Murphy,  assistant  to  the  President  for 
Athletics,  has  been  a  winner  ever  since  he  got  to 
Memphis  State  University.  Not  only  was  he  one  of 
the  nation's  winningest  football  coaches  during  his 
Tiger  reign,  but  he  also  won  top  laurels  as  Athletic 
Director,  a  post  he  assumed  in  1966. 

In  addition  to  establishing  MSU  as  a  southern 
gridiron  power,  Murphy  has  led  the  University  to  a 
self-sustaining  athletic  program  and  to  some  of  the 
finest  athletic  facilities  in  the  region. 

Under  his  leadership,  the  Tigers  took  three  M  VC 
conference  titles,  and  Murphy  was  voted  MVC 
Coach  of  the  Year  three  of  his  four  years  in  the 
conference.  He  was  inducted  into  the  Tennessee

oversees  inventory  space  for  the  University's  com- 
puters, determining  if  there  is  enough  space  for  the 
system's  hardware. 

Simmons  said  he  believes  extra-curricular  acti-

Cavagnaro  had  been  sports  editor  and 
metropolitan  editor  of  the  newspaper  before 
taking  on  the  athletic  director's  post.  But 
his  experiences  have  extended  beyond 
writing  about  the  sports  scene  to  managing, 
for  he  was  general  manager  of  the  Memphis 
Pros,  a  professional  basketball  team,  in 
1970.  He  was  the  youngest  general  manager 
in  professional  basketball  at  that  time. 

He  then  returned  to  the  Commercial

degree  in  business  education  and  in  1968  a 
masters  degree  in  school  coun  seling  from  that 
same  university 

After  her  graduation,  Ms.  Sparger  taught 
for  four  years  before  becoming  a  counselor 
for  the  Tennessee  Division  of  Vocational 
Rehabilitation.  She  held  that  post  four  years 
and  then  became  director  for  the  Tennessee 
Client  Assistance  Project  before  coming  to 
Memphis  State  as  Director  of  Handicapped 
Services. 

Ms.  Sparger  is  currently  active  in  the 
Association  of  the  Handicapped  Student 
Service  Programs  in  Post-Secondary  Ed- 
ucation.

Dr.  David  A.  Collins,  an  assistant  to  the 
vice  president  for  Business  and  Finance 
was  born  in  1927  in  Greenville,  S.C. 

Dean  Collins  served  two  years  in  the 
Navy  and  moved  to  Washington,  D.C.  to 
work  as  a  clerk  for  the  FBI. 

Earning  his  bacheor's  degree  in  history 
in  1953,  Dean  Collins  worked  in  the 
admissions  department  at  Presbyterian 
College  and  moved  to  Memphis  in  1954  as 
a  field  representative  for  Pi  Kappa  Alpha's 
national  headquarters.  He  was  married 
and  became  associate  director  of  the 
fraternity  during  those  years. 

Collins  enrolled  at  Memphis  State's 
graduate  school  where  he  earned  a  Master's 
in  Educational  Administration  and  then 
took  a  position  as  assistant  dean  of  students 
at  Auburn  University  in  Alabama. 

In  1964,  he  returned  to  Memphis  State 
as  assistant  dean  of  students  and  later 
became  assistant  to  the  vice  president  of 
student  educational  services  and  coor- 
dinator of  religious  activities,  a  job  he  still 
holds. 


STUDENT  EDUCATIONAL  SERVICES 


"Working  with  students  tends  to  make  me  feel 
young,"  said  Teresa  Loser,  adviser  for  New  Student 
Orientation  and  Religious  Affairs. 

A  love  of  working  with  students  steared  Ms. 
Loser,  a  Muncie,  Ind.  resident,  into  education.  She 
said  she  wanted  to  do  more  in  life  than  teach, 
though. 

Recalling  college  life  in  the  mid  1970's,  she  said 
those  days  were  the  best  memories  of  her  life. 
"Greek  life  was  my  main  background,  I  wouldn't  be 
here  today  if  1  hadn't  been  in  a  sorority,"  she  said. 

Ms.  Loser  was  a  member  of  the  Indiana  University 
Student  Foundation  and  Sigma  Kappa  sorority.  "I 
got  more  out  of  school  because  of  outside  activities," 
she  said.  She  said  she  believed  the  extracurricular 
involvement  during  college  is  as  important  as  the 
academic  aspects. 

Her  Bachelor  of  Science  Degree  in  Education  in 
hand,  Ms.  Loser  began  traveling  as  a  field  con- 
sultant. Soon,  however,  she  enrolled  at  Kent  Uni- 
versity graduate  school.  Prior  to  receiving  a  Masters 
in  Student  Personnel  Administration,  she  worked 
as  an  adviser  to  the  Pan-Hellinic  women's  counsel. 

In  1983  Ms.  Loser  came  to  Memphis  State.  She 
said  the  main  objective  of  her  job  is  helping  students 
get  the  most  out  of  their  organizational  experiences.

Beautiful  People 

Beauty  pageants  give  girls  a  chance  to 
show  off  their  beauty  and  talent.  But  that 
is  not  all,  Jo  Strickland,  program  adviser 
for  the  Student  Activities  Council,  said. 
The  contests  also  provide  the  girls  with  a 
means  to  earn  money  to  further  their 
education. 

And  the  girls  from  Memphis  State  Uni- 
versity are  taking  advantage  of  the  oppor- 
tunity. Last  year,  five  MSU  girls  won 
local  pageants  to  go  on  to  Miss  Tennessee. 
This  year  two  girls  went  on  to  capture 
spots.  But  going  on  to  other  contests  is 
not  the  main  reason  many  of  the  girls  get 
into  beauty  contest. 

Lisa  Hatchett,  Miss  Memphis  and  a 
member  of  the  MSU  Homecoming  Court 
said,  "I've  gained  self-confidence,  devel- 
oped my  public  relation  skills  and  met  a 
lot  of  people." 


Sharon  Russeil 


Miss  Hatchett,  a  senior  broadcast  com- 
munications major  and  the  assistant 
manager  at  the  campus  radio  station 
WSMS,  said  the  hardest  things  she  has  to 
cope  with  are  people's  preconceived  no- 
tions of  Miss  Memphis  and  the  busy 
schedule  she  has  now. 

Miss  Hatchett  said  this  has  been  one  of 
the  biggest  years  of  her  life.  She  does  not 
plan  to  continue  with  the  beauty  contest, 
but  would  like  to  pursue  her  career  in 
broadcasting. 

On  the  other  end  of  the  beauty  con- 
testant spectrum  is  Sharon  Russell,  the 
reigning  Miss  Memphis  State.  This  jun- 
ior broadcast  communications  major  has 
been  in  beauty  pagents  since  she  was  10 
years  old.  Over  the  years  she  has  accumu- 
lated over  300  trophies  and  100  crowns. 

Miss  Russell  agrees  that  the  pageants 
have  been  beneficial  because  she  got  a 
chance  to  meet  more  people  and  she  did 
enjoy  the  publicity. 

Janie  Taylor,  the  Maid  of  Cotton,  did 
not  go  on  to  the  Miss  Tennessee  contest, 
but  she  said  she  felt  excited  about  winning 
her  contest.

Mobile  is 
no  swinger 

Jane  Poodry,  an  associate  professor  of 
design  at  MSU,  has  designed  a  mobile 
which  hangs  immobile  in  the  student  lounge 
area  of  the  Fogelman  College  of  Business 
and  Economics.  And  she  would  like  to  see 
someone  'get  things  moving'. 

The  large  art  mobile  has  a  mobility 
problem  which  "can  and  should  be  cured," 
according  to  Poodry. 

"It  needs  crosscurent  fans, ".she  ex- 
plained. There's  not  enough  wind  to  make 
anything  rotate  in  there.  Sometimes  when 
a  large  crowd  is  leaving  classes  from  dif- 
ferent directions,  it  generates  enough  wind 
to  move  it,  but  only  barely, "she  said  with  a 
note  of  dismay. 

There  is  a  small  fan  in  the  balcony,  but 
Poodry  recalls  one  of  the  engineers  who 
installed  the  mobile  remarked  that  he  had  a 
fan  in  his  fireplace  bigger  than  that  one. 

The  800  pound  mobile,  which  measures 
1 2  feet  wide  and  1 8  feet  long  is  a  wonderful 
spectacle  of  color  and  design. 

For  40  years,  Poodry  has  designed  floats, 
costumes,  pageants  and  theatrical  sets,  but 
said  the  "Blue  Chip"  mobile,  as  it  is  nomed, 
is  her  largest  work  to  date  and  she  would 
like  to  continue  working  on  a  "grand 
scale". 

She  would  still  like  to  see  "Blue  Chip"in 
action.  "As  a  designer,  1  don't  have  the 
power  to  make  someone  get  it  operating; 
however,  1  would  like  to  see  it  moving.  It 
only  needs  the  proper  installation  of  ade- 
quate fans,"  she  said.

RA 

Loves 
Work 


Don't  talk  about  a  free  room  to  resident 
advisers.  They  know  that  room  is  far  from 
free — it's  hard-earned,  every  square  inch  of 
it. 

But  first  year  resident  adviser  Kathy 
Fields  says  that  the  friendships  she  has 
formed  have  made  the  work  well  worth  the 
effort. 

Kathy  works  the  Mynders  Hall  desk  for 
five  hours  each  week,  and  has  enjoyed 
getting  to  know  everyone  in  the  dorm.  "I 
applied  for  the  job  because  1  think  I  can 
relate  to  the  residents  well,  since  we  are  on 
the  same  age  level,"  she  says. 

She  does  not  want  residents  on  her  floor 
to  think  of  her  as  "just  an  RA",  but  also  as 
a  friend  who  can  help  with  their  problems. 
The  main  goal  is  to  establish  one-on-one 
friendships  with  her  residents,  she  adds. 

Resident  advisers,  in  addition  to  putting 
in  five  hours  on  the  desk  each  week,  must 
also  take  a  24  hour  duty  twice  a  week.  Only 
class  time  is  excepted.  A  new  R  A  must  also 
take  a  counseling  class  for  one  semester. 

Kathy,  who  is  a  1982  graduate  of  Fayette 
Ware  High  School  in  Summerville,  Tenn., 
is  a  sophomore  accounting  major  at 
Memphis  State.

The  student  teaching  experience  helps 
prepare  teachers  to  handle  situations  that 
no  textbook  could  adequately  descibe. 

For  most  educators,  their  days  of  student 
teaching  are  something  which  they  remem- 
ber in  later  years  with  a  smile,  even  if  they 
found  it  difficult  to  muster  a  smile  at  the 
time 

Sharon  Martin  had  one  such  experience. 

While  most  women  highly  value  a  youth- 
ful appearance,  Ms.  Martin,  an  MSU 
secondary  education  major,  found  her 
"babyface"toto  be  more  of  an  aggravation 
than  an  asset  while  teaching  at  Wooddale 
Junior  High  School. 

When  she  entered  the  school  on  her  first 
morning,  she  was  met  disapprovingly  by  a 
group  of  teachers  in  the  hall.  "They  stopped 
me  and  asked  where  I  was  going,"  Martin 
said.  After  she  explained  to  them  that  she 
was  a  teacher,  not  a  student,  they  let  her  go 
on  her  way. 

Before  Martin  could  make  it  up  the 
stairs  to  her  classroom,  she  heard  the 
booming  voice  of  the  vice  principal  saying, 
"Young  lady,  where  are  you  supposed  to 
be?"  Once  again,  she  explained  who  she 
was  and  where  she  "was  supposed  to  be." 

Ms.  Martin  said  she  enjoyed  student 
teaching  after  she  finally  made  it  from  the 
hall  into  the  classroom. 

Of  course,  student  teachers  have  to  deal 
with  more  weighty  problems  than  making 
it  down  the  hall  without  a  hall  pass. 

Sharon  Sorlie,  a  secondary  education 
major,  encountered  a  situation  that  raised 
serious  questions  in  her  mind  while  student 
teaching  in  a  special  education  class  at 
Wooddale  Junior  High. 

After  having  an  incoherent  conversation 
with  one  of  the  students  in  the  class,  she 
wondered  if  the  student  were  indeed  re- 
tarded, or  if  he  had  been  mistakenly  clas- 
sified as  retarded  because  of  some  emo- 
tional problems. 

Sorlie  explained  that  it  is  sometimes 
difficult  to  differentiate  between  retardation 
and  emotional  disturbance.  It  is  important 
for  teachers  to  get  to  know  their  students 
and  observe  any  possible  problems  which 
may  need  attention. 

Student  teaching  can  be  both  weird  and 
wonderful,  but  it  is  an  important  part  of 
preparing  MSU  education  majors  to 
become  competent  teachers.

Memories  Live  On  Beale 


Imagine  yourself  waiting  tables  in  a  busy 
restaurant:  taking  orders,  serving  drinks, 
running  food,  keeping  water  glasses  filled 
—  the  works. 

Now  imagine  that  in  your  spare  time 
between  these  duties  you  must  hop  onstage 
and  sing  a  song  or  two  before  you  can  go 
back  to  check  on  your  tables. 

As  nerve-racking  as  it  sounds,  that's 
exactly  what  several  Memphis  State 
students  do  every  night  to  earn  a  living. 

The  restaurant  is  Memphis  Memories, 
located  at  the  corner  of  Fourth  and  Beale, 
and  its  distinction  lies  in  that  the  waiters 
and  waitresses  entertain  with  their  melodious 
talents,  as  well  as  hustle  between  the  kitchen 
and  the  tables,  to  keep  their  customers 
satisfied. 

The  search  for  such  talented  "wait- 
persons"  led  Otto  Gross,  the  restaurant's 
owner,  and  Walter  Dunn,  the  general 
manager,  to  Memphis  State.  Dr.  David 
Russell  Williams,  chairman  of  the  music 
department,  was  happy  to  assist  them. 

"I  thought  we  had  some  people  who  had 
that  talent,  so  I  gave  them  a  list  of  names," 
said  Williams. 

There  is  a  general  consensus  among  the 
employees  that  the  idea,  which  was  inspired 
by  a  similar  restaurant  in  Nashville  — the 


Chattanooga  Choo  Choo — is  a  good  one. 

"1  think  the  customers  enjoy  having  the 
waiters  and  waitresses  sing  and  that  makes 
working  here  all  that  more  enjoyable,"  said 
Ian  Bourg,  a  graduate  student  majoring  in 
opera.  "I  could  wait  tables  anywhere,  but 
here  I  get  to  entertain  as  well  as  make  a 
living." 

Bourg,  who  sings  such  songs  as  "Blue 
Suede  Shoes,"  "Teddy  Bear,"  and  "Can't 
Help  Falling  in  Love,"  said  that  he  worked 
in  a  restaurant  with  a  similar  format  in 
Kansas  City,  but  that  the  music  at  Memories 
is  more  "oriented  around  Memphis." 

Joyce  McKinney,  a  19-year-old  freshman 
said,  "I  love  working  here.  It's  exciting.  It's 
a  challenge  to  get  the  food  out  hot  while 
keeping  the  audience  hot  with  my  voice. 

"Singing  is  my  way  of  life,  now,  my 
income.  I  plan  to  sing  later  on,  but  as  a 
hobby;  I'm  going  into  interior  design, "said 
Ms.  McKinney,  who  never  before  sang 
professionally  but  "in  every  high  school 
program  I  was  singing  a  solo." 

Ms.  McKinney  sings  the  restaurant's 
theme  song,  "Memories"  ("The  Way  We 
Were"),  and  others  such  as  "Inseparable", 
and  "Feel  that  Old  Feeling". 

"It's  a  good  idea,  a  very  good  idea,"  said 
Royce  Mitchell,  senior.  "Beale  Street  will 


attract  a  lot  of  people  from  out  of  town  and 
this  is  a  good  way  to  expose  your  talents." 

Mitchell,  a  senior  majoring  in  Theater 
and  Communication,  said  that  he  hopes  to 
go  to  California  to  "make  my  dreams  come 
true.  Meanwhile  the  experience  I  get  here 
as  a  waiter  will  be  extremely  valuable  to 
me." 

Becky  Eason  Burkett  has  a  different 
opinion. 

"I  was  hoping  to  never  have  to  wait 
tables  again,  but  it's  okay.  I  enjoy  singing 
and  working  with  the  people." 

Burkett  is  a  graduate  student  working 
on  a  master  of  arts  with  a  concentration  in 
jazz  composition  and  studio  production. 
She  said  that  she  is  finishing  an  album  side 
for  her  thesis  project  that  will  include  two 
other  Memories  employees:  Chris  Bryars 
on  drums  and  Ray  Barbett  on  bass. 

"It's  mostly  Top  40,  jazz."  said  Burkett, 
who  performs  "Natural  Woman",  "If 
Loving  You  is  Wrong",  and  "Come  in  from 
the  Rain". 

Memphis  Memories'  has  entertainment 
nightly.  The  first  show  starts  at  7  p.m.  and 
lasts  about  45  minutes,  and  is  followed  by 
two  more  shows  each  about  30  minutes 
apart.

248      Organizations 


Wanna  make  this  big  campus  seem  a  little 
bit  smaller  and  friendlier?  Then  join  an  MSU 
organization.  There  are  plenty  to  choose 
from  and  at  least  one  is  probably  just  right 
for  you. 

The  organizations  here  on  campus  consist 
of  many  different  types  of  people  and  do 
many  different  things.  They  sponsor  many 
activities  such  as  the  Homecoming  elections, 
blood  drives,  book  co-ops,  speakers  and 
much  more. 

However  they  are  not  all  fun  and  games. 
They  serve  a  big  purpose  here  at  MSU  — 
helping  the  students  to  get  involved,  helping 
them  to  set  goals  for  their  lives,  and  even 
more,  helping  them  to  achieve  those  goals. 

So,  if  you'd  really  like  to  make  some  new 
friends  and  get  involved  then  one  (or  more) 
of  the  MSU  organizations  is  for  you.  And 
there  couldn't  be  a  better  time  than  now 
because  Memphis  State's  organizations  are 
BETTER  THAN  EVER.

Few  Limits  to  This  Job/'  says  busy  RA 


Need  a  shoulder  to  cry  on? 

Need  someone  to  hold  down  that  noise 
level? 

Whatever  is  needed  in  your  campus 
home  away  from  home — the  residence 
hall — your  resident  advisor  will  try  to 
supply. 

Memphis  State  University  operates  four 
residence  halls  for  men  and  six  for  women, 
and  although  no  one  is  required  to  live  in 
the  dorms,  they  are  very  popular  places 
indeed.  Residents  are  accepted  on  a  first 
come,  first-served  basis,  so  applications 
never  stop  at  the  Office  of  Residence  Life. 

Once  you've  made  it  into  a  dorm,  look 
first  for  that  indispensible  resident  adviser. 

RA's  are  selected  each  spring  on  the 
basis  of  group  and  personal  interviews.  All 


are  fulltime  students  with  a  GPA  of  no  less 
than  2.25.  All  have  lived  in  a  residence  hall 
for  at  least  one  semester,  so  they  are 
familiar  with  all  the  rules,  regulations  and 
problems  which  may  arise.  One  RA  is 
assigned  to  each  residence  floor.  Their 
work  knows  few  limits:  it  may  range  from 
opening  up  a  door  for  a  locked-out  student 
to  solving  some  pretty  weighty  personal 
problems.  As  a  former  RA  said,  "We  are 
responsible  for  the  men  or  women  on  our 
floor.  It's  our  job  to  help  in  any  way  we 
can." 

That  help  includes  making  sure  that  all 
dorm  rules  are  followed  and  programming. 
RA's  provide  a  monthly  program,  either 
social  or  educational,  for  the  residents  of 
their  floor. 


"No  two  days  are  ever  alike,"  another 
former  RA  commented.  "We  can  be  up  all 
night  if  something  serious  happens,  or  we 
can  have  a  whole  day  where  nothing  at  all 
goes  on."  There  can  be  times  when  this 
"part-time"  job  looks  like  anything  but, 
and  the  variety  of  demands  seems  over- 
whelming. "It  can  be  a  really  hard  job, "she 
says  but  the  rewards  can  be  enormous. 

The  largest  residence  hall  on  the  MSU 
campus  is  Richardson,  with  its  two  towers. 
The  smallest  men's  dorm  is  Newport  and 
the  smallest  women's  dorm  McCord.  There 
are  no  coed  dorms  at  MSU,  but  visitation 
rights  run  from  noon  until  2  a.m.  Friday 
and  Saturday,  and  noon  to  midnight  the 
rest  of  the  week.

Student  Government  Association 


The  Student  Government  Association 
(SGA)  at  Memphis  State  University  is  the 
governing  board  for  student  policy  recom- 
mendations. 

Composed  of  students  elected  by  the 
MSU  student  body,  the  group  has  a  list  of 
continuing  activities  including:  Schlitz  Belle 
Hospitality  Night,  Book  Co-op,  Student 
Discount  Directory,  the  SGA  Scholarship 
program,  the  Student  Life  Insurance  Plan, 
campus  Speaker  Programs,  the  Lobby 
Against  Financial  Aid  Cuts  and  the 
Tennessee  Intercollegiate  Legislature. 
Other  special  activities  of  the  SGA  depend 
on  student  interests  in  any  given  year. 

Leaders  of  the  SGA  are  members  of  the 
Executive  Branch  of  the  organization  and

diction over  SGA  constitutional  matters. 

The  largest  branch  of  the  SGA  is  the 
Legislative  Branch  which  presents  bills  and 
resolutions  to  improve  student  life  at 
Memphis  State.  Headed  by  Lauri  Catherine

Two  of  the  Student  Government  Asso- 
ciation's on-going  projects  are  the  awarding 
of  scholarships  and  the  Memphis  State 
Book  Co-op. 

SGA  reserves  16  percent  of  the  student 
activity  fee  funds  collected  for  an  SGA 
Academic  Scholarship  Program  for  which 
any  MSU  student  may  apply.  Those 
awarded  the  scholarships  are  obligated  to 
perform  service  for  about  30  hours  each 
semester  on  SGA  committees  or  as  ap- 
pointed cabinet  officers.  To  qualify  for  the 
awards,  a  student  must  have  at  least  a  2.75 
GPA  or  a  21  score  on  the  SAT  test  as  an 
in-coming  freshman. 

Holding  SGA  Academic  scholarships 
during  the  current  year  are  Allen  Dawson, 
John  Hartney,  Catherine  Hayes-Crawford, 
John  Fields,  John  Linxwiler,  June  Peoples 
and  Greg  Singleton. 

The  SGA  Book  Co-op  is  the  plan 
developed  by  the  organization  as  a  service 
to  help  MSU  students  avoid  the  high  cost 
of  textbooks. 

Used  textbook  sellers  bring  their  books 
to  the  Co-op,  where  they  are  displayed  for 
buyers.  Unsold  books  are  returned  to  the 
owner,  who  is  paid  for  any  books  sold,  less 
a  10  pecent  handling  fee  which  covers 
expenses,  possible  damage  or  theft. 

Co-op  duty  is  taken  seriously  by  the 
SGA,  which  sees  the  program  as  a  direct, 
one-on-one  program  to  help  MSU  stu- 
dents. Every  SGA  member  takes  a  shift 
with  the  co-op,  and  learns  the  co-op  pro- 
cedures to  be  able  to  answer  students' 
questions  promptly  and  accurately. 

The  book  exchange  is  a  relatively  new 
SGA  project  which  is  only  beginning  to  be 
recognized  as  a  potential  money-saving 
opportunity  by  students.  Those  who  or- 
ganize and  operate  the  co-op  are  convinced 
it  will  become  an  event  on  which  Memphis 
State  students  will  depend  to  ease  the 
financial  burden  of  rising  educational  costs.

Student  Government  955 


Perhaps  the  most  exciting  event  Student 
Government  Association  members  parti- 
cipate in  during  the  year  is  the  Tennessee 
Intercollegiate  State  Legislature  (TISL),  a 
convention  of  the  state's  college  leaders. 

Held  in  Nashville  in  November,  TISL 
was  organized  by  the  50  SGA's  on 
Tennessee  campuses  as  a  method  of  coor- 
dinating the  activities  of  student  leadership 
organizations  statewide. 

TISL  is  funded  by  privatedonationsand 
dues  from  member  institutions.  It  is  a 
nonpartisan  student  educational  organi- 
zation which  meets  four  days  at  the  State 
Capitol  as  a  senate  and  house  of  repre- 
sentatives to  consider  resolutions  and  bills 
reflecting  the  concerns  of  Tennessee's  higher 
education  students.  Some  100  pieces  of 
legislation  -  offered  by  delegations  from 
each  of  the  participating  schools  —  are 
considered  during  the  event,  and  topics 
range  from  environmental  concerns  to 
highway  construction  and  the  quality  of 
higher  education. 

Ten  pieces  of  legislation  are  selected 
from  the  bills  passed  to  be  submitted  to  the 
Tennessee  General  Assembly  for  possible 
action  during  the  legislative  sessions. 

In  1983,  Memphis  State's  delegation  to 
TISL  included  20  members,  the  largest 
single  delegation  at  the  event.  Seventy-two 
bills  were  considered  by  the  20th  General 
Assembly  —  23  written  and  sponsored  by 
Memphis  State  delegates.  Of  the  nine  bills 
selected  for  presentation  to  Tennessee  Gov. 
Lamar  Alexander,  four  were  sponsored  by 
Memphis  State's  delegation. 

Several  Memphis  State  students  also 
held  positions  of  responsibility  at  TISL. 
John  Hartney  served  as  treasurer  and  a 
member  of  the  Executive  Council; 
Catherine  Hayes-Crawford,  who  was  chair- 
man of  the  Memphis  State  TISL  delegation, 
was  named  to  the  Board  of  Directors,  and 
Mary  Ann  Murphy  served  as  West 
Tennessee  Recruiter. 

Four  members  of  the  Memphis  State 
delegation  were  selected  to  receive  the 
Carlisle  Award,  an  annual  award  to  the  10 
most  outstanding  legislators  at  the  General 
Assembly,  determined  by  their  lobbying, 
debate  and  leadership  talents.  The  winners 
were  Murphy,  Hayes-Crawford,  Richard 
Cartwright  and  Cary  Yancey.  Having  four 
of  the  Carlisle  winners  from  one  school's 
delegation  was  a  first  for  TISL. 

Another  first  for  the  convention  was 
Hayes-Crawford's  nomination  as  the  first 
female  candidate  for  TISL  governor. 
Although  defeated  in  a  close  race,  her 
nomination  was  a  reiteration  of  Memphis 
State's  preeminent  role  for  TISL,  1983. 

Other  MSU  delegates  earning  recogni- 
tion, in  the  form  of  Legislative  Awards, 
were  Hartney,  Kenny  Madden,  Anne 
Williams  and  Jim  Strickland.

officers,  Laurel  Stephan  and  Charleyn  Sipes,  are  also  in  attendance.

The  Southern  Optometry  Group  visited  campus 
to  examine  some  of  the  students'  eyes. 


During  the  1983-84  academic  year,  two 
special  matters  drew  the  attention  of 
Student  Government  Association  members: 
conducting  polls  to  determine  Memphis 
State  students'  feelings  about  general 
campus  policies  and  about  the  campus 
parking  situation. 

The  general  campus  policy  poll  found 
that  Memphis  State  students  generally 
favored  having  alcohol  in  dorm  rooms  (62 
percent)  and  having  a  campus  pub  (72 


percent).  Sixty-eight  percent  of  students 
answering  the  survey  approved  a  policy 
whereby  one  male  and  one  female  residence 
hall  would  allow  24-hour  visitation. 

Other  policy  matters  found  78  percent  of 
responding  students  favoring  a  standard- 
ized textbook  policy,  against  a  $1  increase 
in  the  student  activity  fee  (51  percent), 
opposed  to  raising  the  legal  drinking  age 
from  19  to  21  (52  percent),  in  favor  of  using 
University  general  funds  for  multi-level 


parking  garages  (61  percent),  in  favor  of 
using  traffic  fines  for  construction  of 
multi-level  parking  garages  (64  pecent), 
favored  using  superior  teaching  perfor- 
mance as  a  major  factor  in  deciding  tenure 
for  professors  (78  percent),  and  favored 
students  having  more  input  in  the  faculty 
tenure  review  process  (70  percent).  The 
student  opinion  poll  on  campus  parking 
was  distributed  to  faculty  and  Memphis 
State  staff  as  well. 


An  early  meeting  of  the  SGA  Council  finds  a  full  house  pondering  student  problem. 


Student  Government     257 


The  Student  Activities  Council  gives 
students  the  opportunity  to  develop  their 
vocation,  citizenship,  problem  solving  and 
personal  growth  skills. 

Group  workshops,  personal  meetings 
and  a  positive,  caring  environment  are  all 
contributing  factors  that  motivate  students 
to  volunteer  their  time  and  energies  to  the 
Student  Activities  Council. 

The  Council  has  two  staff  advisers  and  a 
staff  secretary  who  provide  assistance, 
guidance,  a  pat-on-the-back  for  a  job  well 
done  and  a  shoulder  to  cry  on  when  the 
outcome  is  less  than  hoped,  said  Laina 
Wakeley,  1983-84  SAC  president. 

Student  Activities  Council  personnel  are 
assisted  by  the  nine  board  members  who 
head  the  standing  committees  of  the  or- 
ganization. "Secret  buddies"  help  persona- 
lize group  meetings,  and  friendship  is  a  key 
factor  in  the  council's  success,  Wakeley 
said. 

The  Student  Activities  Council  Concerts 
Committee  is  charged  with  providing  the 
Memphis  State  student  body  with  a  wide 
variety  of  entertainment  throughout  the 
school  year. 

Members  of  the  Concerts  Committee 
contact   musical   groups   to   perform   on 


campus  and  seek  the  widest  possible  range 
of  contemporary  sounds.  The  committee  is 
also  responsible  for  providing  adequate 
assistance  for  the  smooth  functioning  of 
each  sponsored  event,  including  manpower 
and  technical  assistance. 

The  Concerts  body  is  charged  with 
evaluating  each  event  on  the  basis  of 
quality  and  merit  for  future  reference. 

Students  who  direct  the  activities  of  this 
committee  head  its  public  relations  effort; 
its  administration — including  surveys  to 
determine  the  kind  of  musical  presentations 
students  desire;  and  its  production  phase 
which  encompasses  lighting,  sound  and 
setup-takedown  of  equipment. 

Focus  on  dress  and  fashion  is  the  work 
of  the  Student  Activities  Council  Fashion 
Board  Committee,  which  tries  to  interest 
Memphis  State  students  in  a  variety  of  new 
fashions. 

This  group  plans  and  implements  all  of 
SAC's  fashion  shows,  which  involves  a 
blend  of  interests  by  off-campus  sponsors 
and  on-campus  groups. 

The  Fashion  Board  is  a  quasi-educational 
unit  as  well,  because  its  members  instruct 
in  aspects  of  modeling  and  production  of 
the  shows  it  sponsors. 


Each  year  the  group  evaluates  the  shows 
it  puts  on  and  reports  on  successes  for 
future  Fashion  Boards. 

Elements  of  the  committee  are  those 
directing  advertising  and  promotion,  and 
the  technical  aspects  of  the  show  itself. 
Fashion  Board  schedules  events  for  Wel- 
come Week,  Homecoming,  a  bridal  show, 
and  special  on-campus  and  off-campus 
events. 

Selection  and  presentation  of  feature 
films  is  the  duty  of  SAC's  Films  Committee. 
It  not  only  selects  films  to  show  students, 
but  provides  the  fare  at  reduced  cost. 
Faculty  and  MSU  staff  members  are 
included  in  the  intended  film  audience. 

This  group  secures  films  and  video  tapes 
for  presentation,  plans  and  adminsters 
special  movie  programs  and  works  with 
co-sponsoring  organizations  to  ensure  the 
success  of  each  program. 

In  addition  to  the  leaders  who  handle 
co-sponsorships,  scheduling,  advertising 
and  hospitality,  the  group  is  responsible 
for  extensive  equipment  use  and  main- 
tenance. 


SA  C  Means  Fun  and  Friendship 


The  Student  Activities  Council  sponsors  many  events  such  as  speakers  like  the 
mentalist  the  Amazing  Kreskin  (above)  and  the  Homecoming  election.

Student  Activities 


Friendship  is  Key  to  Council's  Success 


SAC's  Hospitality  Committee  serves  as 
host  and  ambassador  for  student  activity 
events. 

Members  serve  as  personnel  to  work 
concession  booths,  seek  out  non-University 
Program  events  for  which  they  may  repre- 
sent Memphis  State  and  evaluate  all 
Hospitality  Committee  activities  for  future 
reference. 

The  group  works  with  academic  depart- 
ments on  campus,  student  organizations 
and  off-campus  activities  as  well. 

The  technical, behind-the-scenes  work  of 
the  Student  Activities  Council  is  spear- 
headed by  its  Production  Committee. 

Student  participants  learn  a  variety  of 
potential  vocational  skills  with  sound 
equipment,  lighting,  loading  and  unloading 
of  performers'equipment.  The  group  must 
keep  an  accurate  inventory  of  SAC  equip- 


ment and  must  insure  that  others  using  the 
SAC  equipment  are  adequately  trained  in 
its  correct  operation. 

Getting  maximum  exposure  for  all 
Student  Activities  Council  events  is  the 
duty  of  the  Publicity  Committee  which 
must  employ  a  variety  of  marketing  and 
public  relations  skills. 

This  committee  maintains  and  updates 
SAC's  marquee  on  the  second  floor  of  the 
University  Center,  distributes  all  publicity 
requests  for  SAC,  coordinates  the  on-and 
off -campus  advertising  and  public  relations 
activities  of  SAC,  strives  to  enhance  SAC's 
image  on  campus  and  in  the  surrounding 
community  and  evaluates  the  success  of  its 
efforts  for  future  members. 

Sub-chairmen  for  internal  events  include 
the  public  relations  liaison  for  arts,  audio- 
visual, Fashion  Board,  Hospitality,  indoor 


recreation,   music,  outdoor  recreation, 
speakers  and  special  events. 

Advertising  for  all  SAC  events  comes 
under  the  direction  of  the  Publicity  Com- 
mittee which  designs  and  produces  all 
fliers,  Helmsman  newspaper  ads,  banners 
and  posters.  The  group  distributes  these 
materials  and  insures  that  advertising 
exceeds  SAC's  minimum  standards  for 
timeliness  and  quality  of  production. 

Outdoor  and  indoor  activities  and  tour- 
naments fall  under  the  direction  of  the 
Student  Activities  Council's  Recreation 
Committee. 

This  group  coordinates  and  runs  all 
sponsored  outdoor  events  including  exhibi- 
tions and  visiting  professionals.  The  com- 
mittee provides  selected  trips  to  students, 
faculty  and  staff  at  reduced  rates. 

Indoor  recreation  and  tournaments  are

Additional  indoor  recreation  events 
include  chess,  backgammon,  table  tennis, 
billiards  and  football-darts  contests. 

Members  of  the  SAC  Speakers  Com- 
mittee educate  and  entertain  Memphis 
State  students  by  providing  well-known 
personalities  to  lecture  on  a  variety  of 
subjects. 

The  committee  contacts  educational 
speakers  and  schedules  programs  to  provide 
a  balanced  program  of  topics.  In  addition 
to  scheduling,  committee  members  provide 
adequate  assistance  for  each  event,  work 
with  co-sponsoring  organizations  and 
evaluate  all  speaker  events  for  quality  and 
merit. 

Memphis  State's  Homecoming  and  Miss 
Memphis  State  pageant  are  directed  by 
SAC's  Special  Events  Committee. 

These  two  annual  events  are  among  the 
foremost  offerings  the  University  Programs 
division  has,  and  work  to  make  them  an 
annual  success  requires  a  major  effort  by 
all  students  concerned. 

In  addition  to  the  pageant  and  Home- 
coming activities,  the  committee  works 
closely  with  the  Student  Activities  Council 
for  any  special  programs  SAC  may  sponsor.

Black  Student  Association 


The  Black  Student  Association  at 
Memphis  State  is  the  collective  voice  of 
campus  black  students.  Its  goal  is  to 
encourage  academic  excellence  and  social 
awareness  as   students  strive  for  unity. 

The  BSA  does  many  things  for  its 
members,  such  as  informing  them  of  job 
opportunities,  providing  tutors  in  various 
subjects,  advocating  changes  which  stu- 
dents consider  desirable,  lobbying  before 
the  Student  Government  Association  and 
providing  entertaining  and  informative 
activities. 

Why  is  a  Black  Student  Association 
needed  at  Memphis  State?  The  reasons  are 
many,  BSA  officers  believe.  It  promotes 
the  culture  of  black  Americans  by  sponsor- 
ing culturally  enriching  programs.  It  works 
to  make  sure  that  the  University  considers 
the  interests  and  needs  of  its  black  students, 
as  well  as  to  motivate  black  students  to 
participate  in  everything  at  the  University. 
It  advocates  efforts  to  address  the  concerns 
and  problems  of  black  students  and  it 
works  to  unite  the  black  community. 

The  stated  purpose  of  the  BSA  is  to  unite 
the  social,  academic  and  economic  values 
of  black  students;  to  unite  black  minds;  to 
assist  black  students  in  achieving  their 
goals;  to  educate  them  on  cultural,  political, 
economic  and  social  concerns  and,  most 
importantly,  "to  foster  ideals  of  brother- 
hood between  all  races  and  nationalities  so 
that  one  day  there  will  be  no  need  for  the 
Black  Student  Association."

The  American  Society  of  Civil  Engineers 
was  founded  in  1852,  making  it  the  oldest 
professional  engineering  society  in  the 

nation. 

The  object  of  the  society  is  to  promote 
interest  in  the  study  of  civil  engineering 
and  to  advance  it  as  a  profession.  By 
helping  students  begin  their  professional 
contacts,  the  association  feels  it  is  fulfilling 
an  important  role. 

In  March  of  last  year,  the  MSU  chapter 
won  first  place  in  a  concrete  canoe  race, 
which  is  more  than  just  a  boating  event  for 
this  organization.  It  is  an  exercise  in 
surveying,  design  and  building. 

Officers  are  Harvey  Matheny,  president; 
Rob  Fulp,  vice  president,  Laura  Rowland, 
executive  secretary;  Paula  Gray,  corres- 
ponding secretary,  and  treasurer  Frank 
McPhail,  who  points  out  that  the  chapter 
has  the  lowest  dues  of  all  engineering 
organizations  because  of  the  support  given 
by  the  professional  chapter.  Faculty  adviser 
is  William  T.  Segu.

Have  you  ever  wondered  why  Overton 
Park  is  located  where  it  is?  Or  who  decided 
the  Parkway  route? 

Memphis  may  not  have  had  the  benefit 
of  today's  surveys,  protections  and  plans  in 
the  days  those  decisions  were  made,  but 
today's  modern  city  requires  the  services  of 
city  planners.  And  Memphis  State  is  ready 
to  provide  the  trained  workers  to  fill  that 
role. 

It  all  began  in  1974  when  the  Graduate 
Department  of  Planning  began  operations 
and  offered  a  two  year  professional  degree, 
Master  of  City  and  Regional  Planning. 

Hoping  to  provide  a  communication 
between  student  and  professional  planners 
and  community  leaders,  the  students 
formed  the  Student  Planners  Association 
that  first  fall.  The  name  was  later  changed 
to  the  Memphis  State  University  Planners 
Association. 

The  group  meets  each  week  in  the 
department  of  geography  and  planning. 
Officers  are:  Kay  Artis,  president;  Frank 
Donohue,  vice  president;  Mary  Love, 
secretary  and  Alain  Carranza,  treasurer.

as  it  seeks  to  promote  an  awareness  and 
understanding  of  the  importance  of  the 
study  of  home  furnishings. 

Begun  in  1980,  the  organization  works 
with  the  department  of  home  economics 
and  brings  decorators,  interior  designers 
and  people  from  retail  furniture  and  acces- 
sory establishments  to  speak  on  campus  to 
students  with  special  interests  in  the  area. 
The  group  also  holds  decorating  seminars 
and  plans  to  offer  pilgrimage  tours. 

The  group  points  with  pride  to  indi- 
vidual members  who  have  won  scholar- 
ships offered  by  the  Home  Furnishings

it  for  them  by  granting  them  the  Chapter 
Merit  Award  last  spring  at  the  national 
convention  in  New  York  City. 

The  award  was  given  in  recognition  of 
organization  and  programming  excellence, 
and  the  Memphis  chapter  vows  to  keep 
right  on  deserving  that  honor. 

Formed  on  campus  in  1979,  the  group  is 
affiliated  with  the  American  Society  for 
Personnel  Administration  and  is  sponsored 
by  its  local  chapter,  The  Memphis  Per-

Now  in  their  second  year  on  campus,  the 
Blue  Chippers  know  what  school  spirit  is 
all  about  and  want  to  share  that  knowledge

Russian  Culture  Club 


Since  being  established  in  1963,  the 
Memphis  State  Russian  Culture  Club  has 
attempted  to  "educate  the  student  body 
and  the  community  as  a  whole,"  said  club 
president  John  Bass.  The  club,  which  meets 
one  night  each  month,  gives  students  a 
chance  to  see  more  of  the  culture  of  the 
country  whose  language  they  are  studying 
than  they  are  able  to  see  in  the  limited 
classroom  time.  Featured  at  their  Tuesday 
night  meetings  were  movies,  slide  presen- 
tations and  guest  speakers  relating  to  the 
Slavic  theme  of  the  club.  Along  with  the 
Russian  Culture  Club,  Slavic  language 
students  were  also  able  to  gain  admittance 
into  Dobro  Slovo,  the  Slavic  language 
honor  society.  During  the  year  a  variety  of 
events  took  place  including  a  Christmas 
party,  a  symposium  on  the  Ukranian  famine 
of  1932  and  the  guest  appearance  of  Dr. 
Dmitry  Bobyshev,  a  Russian  born  dissident 
poet.

... 


The  Greeks. 

Natives  of  no  foreign  country,  these  campus 
kinfolk  share  only  a  special  state  of  mind.  From  the 
first  frantic  scramble  of  Rush,  they  enter  a  land  of 
their  own  design,  seeking  a  family,  a  clan,  to  which 
they  can  happily  belong. 

For  some,  going  Greek  is  the  gateway  to  easy 
camaraderie  and  a  ready-made  social  life.  For  others, 
it  is  the  start  of  deeper  friendships  which  can  endure 
beyond  campus  days,  an  opportunity  for  community 
service  and  a  sense  of  belonging. 

The  call  to  community  service  was  strong  in  Greek 
activities  this  year,  with  numerous  benefits  and 
collections  to  aid  local  and  national  health  and 
service  agencies. 

The  fun  and  games  promise  met  easy  fulfillment 
with  a  variety  of  activities  and  events.  Derby  Day 
field  events  brought  friendly  competition  to  a  new 
level  as  the  brothers  and  sisters  raced,  jumped  and 
paraded,  determined  to  be  the  best. 

All-Sing  moved  that  competition  from  the  field  to 
stage  as  the  sororities  and  fraternities  tried  to  sing 
and  dance  their  way  to  victory.  Burger  Bust 
celebrated  yet  another  talent  as  Greek  trenchermen 
ate  their  way  to  fame  in  a  race  to  see  who  could 
consume  the  most  hamburgers.  Anchor  Splash  found 
the  groups  meeting  and  competing  in  and  out  of  the 
swimming  pool. 

Fashion  shows,  dances,  parties  and  banquets  all 
together  made  1984  for  the  Greeks  BETTER  THAN 
EVER

Greeks      273 


TV  US  ft*  Opening  the  Door  to 

Greek  Life... 


One  of  the  biggest  Greek  activities  of  the  year  is  Rush.  Rush  is  a 
week  of  parties  in  which  each  participant  has  an  opportunity  to 
meet  different  Greek  individuals  and  groups  in  order  to  decide 
whether  to  become  a  part  of  Greek  life  on  campus  by  pledging. 

Barbara  Walters,  president  of  Sigma  Kappa  sorority,  said, 
"Like  all  Greek  groups,  we  look  for  a  person  who  is  willing  to  be 
active  in  the  group  and  can  still  keep  a  satisfactory  grade  point 
average. 

"We  look  for  high  school  activities  because  chances  are,  if  a  girl 
was  active  in  high  school,  she  will  also  be  active  in  college,"  she 
said. 

Rush  can  sometimes  be  a  time  of  frustration  and  pressure,  but 
Mindy  Sopher,  adviser  for  Greek  affairs,  offered  some  encourage- 
ment. "Just  be  yourself.  Enjoy  getting  to  know  people  and  go  into 
rush  with  an  open  mind." 

Each  sorority  has  some  form  of  entertainment,  such  as  singing 
or  acting  out  skits.  "Sorority  rush  is  structured  and  formal,"  said 
Sopher. 

During  rush  week,  sorority  rushees  go  to  parties  in  the  sorority 
rooms  in  the  Panhellenic  Building.  Only  members  and  rushees 
attend. 

Fraternity  formal  rush  is  for  men  who  are  apprehensive  about 
going  through  rush  on  their  own,  according  to  Tommy  Svoboda, 
IFC  vice-president. 


Sorority  rush  offers  rushees  a  chance  to  get  acquainted  with  the  different  sororities 
on  campus  and  choose  which  one  is  most  suitable  for  them.  Barbara  Walters, 
president  of  Sigma  Kappa,  has  a  quiet  chat  with  a  prospective  Greek. 


Karren  Koles  of  Alpha  Gamma  Delta  extends  a  friendly  welcome  to  one  of  their 
many  rushees. 


274     Rush 


The  sororities  take  one  night  of  Rush  to  perform  skits  for  the 
rushees.  Alpha  Delta  Pi's  skit  was  "The  Rainbow  Connection." 

Krista  Macko  and  Scarlett  Cavagnaro  discuss  Greek  life  with 
actives  from  one  of  the  sororities. 


Rush     275 


RUSH 


The  fraternity  rushees  attend  parties  at  each  fraternity  house. 
Members,  alumni  and  little  sisters  are  present. 

Svoboda  said  a  more  relaxed  atmosphere  prevails  in  fraternity 
rush.  Fraternity  men  mingle  with  rushees  and  some  fraternities 
have  alumni  speakers  and  slide  shows. 

Joining  a  fraternity  or  sorority  is  one  way  to  make  a  large 
campus  seem  smaller,  according  to  one  sorority  pledge. 

Along  with  the  benefits  of  Greek  life  come  financial  obligations, 
however. 

Charles  Dunstan,  chapter  adviser  for  a  sorority  said  average 
dues  for  sororities  are  $25  per  month.  In  addition,  a  pledge  fee  of 
about  $40,  an  initiation  fee  of  about  $100  and  a  badge  fee  ranging 
from  $5  to  $50  is  paid  only  once. 

Svoboda  said  the  average  dues  for  fraternities  are  about  $35  per 
month.  An  initiation  fee  of  about  $135  and  a  pledge  fee  of  about 
$40  is  paid  one  time.  Residents  of  the  fraternity  house  pay  more. 

The  only  other  requirement  for  pledging  is  a  2.0  grade  point 
average  for  Panhellenic  and  a  2.5  GPA  for  Pan-Hellenic. 

—Cathy  Diel 


The  "FIJI  Waltz"  is  always  a  popular  step  at  the  FIJI  house  at  their  parties,  as 
demonstrated  by  Cara  Crane  and  Terry  Watkins. 

Fred  "Woosey"  Towler  of  Phi  Beta  Sigma  exhibits  his  B.K.O.  capabilities  (Basic 
Keg  Operations). 

In  the  cool  of  the  fall  evenings,  parties  generally  wander  out  to  the  porches  of  the

The  Memphis  State  sororities  partici- 
pated in  Sigma  Chi's  annual  Derby  weeks 
in  October  of  last  year.  Pi  Beta  Phi  was 
the  overall  winner.  Alpha  Gamma  Delta 
had  a  good  week  and  came  in  second, 
while  Phi  Mu  came  in  third. 

Things  were  started  with  a  campus 
parade  and  then  the  sororities  got  busy! 
Pi  Beta  Phi  won  the  derby  snatch  which 
entailed  snatching  and  keeping  the  hats 
of  several  fraternity  brothers.  Pi  Phi  tied 
with  Alpha  Gam  in  the  number  of  field 
event  wins.  Egg-a-Sig,  shoe  stack,  water 
balloon  toss,  and  musical  water  buckets 
were  just  a  few  of  the  field  events  that 
co-chairman  Geary  Hamm  and  Allen 
Dawson  thought  up  for  the  ladies.  Miss 
Derby  Doll  was  Kathy  Hamilton,  of  Pi 
Phi,  and  Phi  Mu's  Miss  Melanie  Trout 
was  awarded  Miss  Shape.  The  Photo 
Scavenger  Hunt  was  won  by  Alpha  Gam 
and  the  Derby  Hunt  or  Golden  Derby  by 
Alpha  Delta  Phi.  The  Sigma  Kappas 
were  voted  to  have  had  the  most  spirit 
overall. 

The  week  held  loads  of  fun,  celebra- 
tions, and  parties,  the  largest  of  which 
was  held  by  Sigma  Kappa  in  which  over 
five  hundred  people  attended. 


Golden  Man  Larry  Fogarty,  of  Sigma  Chi,  won  the 
Dress-  a  -  Pledge  competition  for  Phi  Mu  as  the 
"Oscar".

Derby  Day

Nothing  could  keep  Phi  Mu's  Krista  Smith  from  having 
fun  at  Derby  Day.  Scarlett  Cavagnaro  and  Marty 
Mitchusson  had  no  trouble  at  all  keeping  Krista's  spirits 
up. 

Egg  on  your  face!  Sigma  Chi  President  Allen  Dawson 
enjoys  the  many  benefits  of  his  elected  office.  Each  year,  the 
participants  of  Derby  Day  use  similar  ways  to  show  their 
appreciation  of  Derby  Days. 


Phi  Mu's  Constance  McCullough  and  Tracey  Anderson  summon  all 
their  energy  and  concentration  for  their  impending  challenge.

A 11  Sing 


All  Sing  was  held  last  March  at  the  Cook 
Convention  Center.  The  campus  sororities 
and  fraternities  competed  in  a  contest 
based  on  talent  and  stage  presentation. 
Only  hand  motions  and  hand-held  props 
were  allowed,  with  each  group  being  given 
dire  warnings  against  excessive  foot  move- 
ment. 

The  judges  consisted  of  local  professional 
musicians.  First  place  in  the  fraternity 
division  went  to  Kappa  Alpha,  whose 
theme  was  "The  Past  20  Years  in  American 
Music." 

Alpha  Gamma  Delta  won  first  place  in 
the  sorority  division  with  "A  Salute  to  the 

user.

Bustin'  Burgers  for  M.D. 


The  seventh  annual  Kappa  Alpha  Burger 
Bust  was  held  at  Danver's  restaurant  on 
Highland  Street  last  fall.  The  profits  from 
the  Bust  were  donated  to  Kappa  Alpha's 
national  philanthropy,  by  Danver's,  and 
the  beverages  and  tee-shirts  were  sponsored 
by  Coors.  Money  was  raised  from  a  $25 
entry  fee,  personal  pledges  and  profits 
from  tee-shirts  and  drinks.  The  two-man 
teams  were  given  five  minutes  to  engulf  as 
many  hamburgers  as  possible.  The  record 
still  stands  at  six  burgers.  Last  year  thirteen 
teams  participated  in  the  event.  Pi  Kappa 
Alpha  took  first  place,  Lambda  Chi  Alpha 
placed  second  and  Kappa  Alpha  came  in 
third.  Over  500  dollars  was  raised  last  year, 
which  surpassed  any  previous  year's  in- 
come. The  competition  is  open  to  any  entry, 
though  most  competitors  were  fraternities. 
Future  plans  include  opening  a  division  to 
sororities.  -Tonda  Brewer

Delta  Gamma's 


One  of  the  categories  of  Anchor  Splash  competition  was  the  Mermaid  Contest.  Phi 
Mu's  Melanie  Trout,  winner  of  the  competition,  rests  on  the  shoulders  of  Sigma  Chi's 
Corwin  Arthur  and  Mark  Anderson.

Anchor  Splash 


Delta  Gamma  sorority  hosted  the 
annual  Anchor  Splash  swimming  com- 
petition for  Memphis  State  University's 
fraternities.  No  admission  was  charged, 
but  donations  were  accepted  and  contri- 
buted for  aid  to  the  blind  and  for  sight 
conservation. 

The  events  started  with  the  retiring  of 
the  first  place  trophy  to  its  permanent 
location  at  the  Lambda  Chi  house.  The 
champs  came  back  and  gave  all  a  good 
run  for  their  money.  Lambda  Chi  walked 
off  with  first  place  awards  with  Bathing 
Beauty  or  Mr.  Muscle,  Johnny  Chenault, 
Beautiful  Legs  Tony  Phifer,  Water  Ballet, 
and  the  Fraternity  Spirit  award. 

All  the  first  place  wins  just  were  not 
enough.  The  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon 
brothers  replaced  Lambda  Chi  and  were 
the  overall  winners  of  the  event.  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon  won  four  of  the  seven 
events  in  the  swimming  contest.  Lambda 
Chi  won  three  of  the  seven  swimming 
events.  Pi  Kappa  Alpha  came  in  third 
place  overall. 

The  sororities  had  a  good  showing. 
Delta  Zeta  won  the  spirit  award,  Phi 
Mu's  Melanie  Trout  won  the  mermaid 
contest  and  Phi  Mu  Tina  Johnson  won 
the  most  beautiful  eyes  contest. 

Everyone  had  a  good  time  admiring 
swim  strokes,  legs  and  eyes,  and  the  MSU 
Greeks  helped  raise  money  for  a  much 
needed  service. 


Grace,  poise,  skill,  and  good  looks  are  all  vital  parts  of  the  Water  Ballet 
Competition.  Pi  Kappa  Alpha's  Skip  Dickenson,  Randy  Tims,  and  Mark 
Copley  exhibit  all  of  these  characteristics  as  they  demonstrate  their  talent. 

Muscle  Man  Jimmy  Dolan  of  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon  competes  in  the  Muscle  Man 
Competition.  Jimmy  came  close,  but  Lambda  Chi  took  first  place  in  the 
competition.

ORDER  OF  OMEGA 


The  Order  of  Omega  was  founded  at  the 
University  of  Miami  in  1959  by  a  group  of 
outstanding  fraternity  men  who  felt  that 
individuals  in  the  Greek  community  should 
be  recognized  for  their  service  to  the 
fraternity  and  the  university.  The  Order  of 
Omega  strives  to  recognize  those  Greek 


men  and  women  who  have  attained  a  high 
standard  of  leadership  in  interfraternity 
activities  and  to  encourage  them  to  continue 
along  such  a  line.  Order  of  Omega  also 
works  to  bring  together  outstanding  Greek 
members  to  create  an  organization  which 
will  help  to  mold  the  sentiment  of  the 


institutiion    on    questions    of   local    and 
intercollegiate  fraternity  affairs. 

The  30  members  of  the  Order  of  Omega 
award  the  Presidential  Award  to  the  most 
outstanding  president  of  the  previous  year. 
They  also  host  a  Teacher's  Tea  and 
members  initiation  in  the  spring  semester.

Greek  system  at  Memphis  State.  Every 
Monday  evening,  the  34  ladies  of  Delta 
Zeta  hold  their  meeting  to  chart  out  some 
of  their  many  activities. 

The  Delta  Zeta  Sorority  received  several 
awards  and  honors  last  year.  Having  re- 
ceived first  place  in  the  All-Sing  Mixed 
Divison,  the  members  revved  up  their 
spirits  again  to  capture  the  Anchor  Splash 
Spirit  Award.  Delta  Zeta's  Lisa  Hatchett 
was  awarded  the  title  of  Miss  Memphis 
and  was  a  Homecoming  Court  Candidate. 
The  Most  Improved  Scholarship  in  the 
Panhellenic  was  also  awarded  to  Delta 
Zeta  along  with  the  Philanthropy  Award 
for  the  19th  Province  in  Tennessee.  The 
sorority  gives  the  Ruth  Younghanse  Cren- 
shaw Award  to  an  outstanding  senior  and 
an  award  to  the  year's  Best  Pledge  and  the 
Best  Active. 

In  order  for  a  prospective  Delta  Zeta  to 
pledge,  she  must  have  a  2.25  GPA.  A  2.00 
GPA  is  necessary  to  be  initiated.  The  ladies 
of  Delta  Zeta  host  the  Delta  Zeta  Follies  to 
raise  money  for  a  Greek  Scholarship  pro- 
gram. Nationally,  Delta  Zeta  supports  the 
Gualladet  College  for  the  Speech  and 
Hearing  Impaired  in  Washington  State.

ALPHA  DELTA  PI 


a  An 


Alpha  Delta  Pi  is  in  its  36th  year  at 
Memphis  State.  It  was  the  first  secret 
sorority  for  women  at  MSU,  coming  to 
Memphis  in  1947.  ADPi  strives  to  unify 
sisterhood  and  to  promote  friendship  and 
scholarship  among  its  members  and  college. 
Ladies  who  pledge  ADPi  enjoy  the  warmth 
and  friendliness  of  the  sorority  sisters. 

The  sorority  is  enjoying  national  success 
with  a  new  charter  having  been  organized 
last  year  at  Austin  Peay  State  University  in 
Clarksville,  Tennessee.  Several  of  the  ADPi 
members  from  Memphis  State  helped  with 
the  installation  in  November  of  1983. 

For  a  lady  student  to  maintain  her 
membership  in  ADPi,  she  must  have  a  2.0 
GPA.  Alpha  Delta  Pi  works  with  all  the 
Greek  organizations  in  the  Panhellenic 
Council;  it  also  supports  the  National 
Ronald  McDonald  House  Program.  The 
ladies  of  ADPi  host  a  fall  Barn  Party  in 
October  and  a  Pledge-Active  Dance  in 
November. 

Each  year  the  sorority  presents  the  Fra- 
ternity of  the  Year  Award  to  the  fraternity 
that  actively  participates  in  Greek  intra- 
mural activities.  ADPi  also  bases  its  deci- 
sion on  a  fraternity's  scholarship  standing. 

Alpha  Delta  Pi  was  proud  to  have 
Melisha  Hedrick  elected  as  Greek  Woman 
of  the  Year!

ALPHA  GAMMA  DELTA 


AFA 


Alpha  Gamma  Delta  sorority  has  plenty 
to  show  for  its  37  years  here  at  MSU.  Ever 
since  it  came  to  Memphis  State  on  April  12, 
1947,  Alpha  Gam  has  worked  diligently  in 
the  Greek  system  at  MSU  and  in  the 
surrounding  community. 

The  ladies  of  Alpha  Gam  hold  initiation 
into  their  sorority  annually  in  January. 
There  is  frequently  an  initiation  ceremony  in 
May,  depending  on  the  number  of  Spring 
Rushees.  Last  year,  Alpha  Gamma  Delta 
went  from  a  pre-Rush  43  to  a  total  of  66 
members  after  Rush. 

Along  with  the  other  sororities  and  fratern- 
ities on  campus,  Alpha  Gam  works  with  the 
Panhellenic,  Pan-Hellenic  and  Interfratern- 
ity  Councils.  At  the  Greek  Awards  banquet 
last  year,  Alpha  Gam  received  the  Sorority 
of  the  Year  Award  for  1982-83.  The  sisters 
of  Alpha  Gam  were  also  the  Intramurals 
winners  for  the  same  years.  In  competition 
with  the  other  sororities  in  All-Sing,  Alpha 
Gamma  Delta  came  away  with  first  place. 
Their  theme  was  "A  Salute  to  the  U  SO. "  The 
ladies  sang  songs  from  the  '40s  that  were  likely 
to  have  been  sung  to  the  troops  on  U  SO  tours. 
"Don't  Sit  Under  the  Apple  Tree,"  "The 
Wild  Blue  Yonder"and  "111  Be  Seeing  You" 
were  a  few  of  the  songs  from  their  program. 


Each  year,  Alpha  Gam  sponsors  a  balloon 
derby  which  benefits  Juvenile  Diabetes.  The 
ladies  raise  money  by  selling  balloons  with  a 
ticket  attached  to  them.  Last  year,  they 
raised  nearly  $500  for  their  charity. 

Alpha  Gam  strongly  encourages  scholastic 
achievement  among  its  sisters.  Members 
must  have  a  2.0  GPA  to  maintain  their  mem- 
bership; there  are  also  required  study  ses- 
sions for  the  pledges  and  actives.  There  are 
several  awards  given  within  the  chapter. 
Best  Pledge  Award,  Activities  Woman  of  the 
Year  and  other  awards  promote  study  and 
involvement  among  the  sorority  members. 

Alpha  Gam's  year  is  full  of  many  scheduled 
activities.  All-Sing,  Rush,  Derby  Day,  Greek 
Week  and  Homecoming  are  yearly  events 
that  the  ladies  look  forward  to.  Alpha  Gam 
hosts  their  formal,  the  Rose  and  Buff  Cotil- 
lion, and  participates  in  the  Cerebral  Palsy 
Fashion  Show,  Banner  and  Car-Decorating 
contests  and  a  Pledge-Alumni  dinner.  Par- 
ents' Tea,  Teachers'  Tea  and  Christmas 
parties  are  held  yearly  also. 

The  ladies  of  Alpha  Gamma  Delta  enjoy 
their  work  and  fun  during  the  year,  and  they 
enjoyed  a  successful  year  last  year  with 
many  honors,  awards  and  memories  to 
show  for  their  work.

DELTA  GAMMA 


Delta  Gamma  has  served  as  a  good 
example  of  a  sorority  at  Memphis  State 
since  its  inception  in  1965,  and  1983  was  no 
exception.  Founded  nationally  at  Lewis 
School  for  Girls  (now  Ole  Miss)  in  1875, 
Delta  Gamma  has  effectively  combined  the 
scholastic  and  social  aspects  of  campus  life 
and  extended  their  influence  throughout  the 
community. 

The  Delta  Gams  were  awarded  for  their 
efforts — honored  as  the  most  outstanding 
chapter  in  Province  IX  which  includes  West 
Tennessee,  Louisiana  and  Mississippi.  The 
ladies  also  won  spirit  trophies  for  the  home- 
coming pep  rally  and  Greek  Week.  The 
sorority  excelled  athletically,  headed  by 
Anna  Marie  Mottola,  and  was  crowned 
Intramural  Champion  for  Spring  of  1983. 

With  help  from  panhellenic  delegate  Ann 


Burton,  fraternity  education  advisor  Conde 
Windsor  and  historian-activities  chairman 
Lee  Farmer,  the  members  have  worked 
closely  with  other  campus  organizations  to 
instill  support  for  campus  unity.  Putting 
forth  much  time  and  effort  at  Memphis 
State  does  not  limit  the  Delta  Gams  from 
aiding  charities,  though,  especially  the 
blind. 

Social  chairman  Kim  Rawls  has  planned 
to  make  1984  an  even  better  year  with 
pledge  swaps,  formal  and  informal  rushes 
and  many  dance  formals.  When  the  Delta 
Gammas  meet  in  February  at  the  annual 
Province  Leadership  School  at  Ole  Miss, 
they  will  be  looking  to  repeat  as  outstanding 
province  chapter  and  to  prove  that  sororities 
are  an  important  part  of  a  university  such  as 
Memphis  State.

<S>M 


The  Kappa  Lambda  Chapter  of  Phi  Mu 
was  installed  at  Memphis  State  in  March 
of  1947  at  a  ceremony  at  the  Peabody.  As 
one  of  the  first  National  Panhellenic 
Council  groups  installed  at  MSU,  Phi  Mu 
is  the  second  oldest  National  Organization 
for  Women. 

Because  of  their  busy  schedule  last  year, 
the  sisters  of  Phi  Mu  have  received  many 
awards  and  honors.  At  the  Leadership 
Conference  at  Ole  Miss  last  July,  Phi  Mu 
won  the  Phi  Mu  slogan  contest.  Phi  Mu"s 
Melanie  Trout  was  the  winner  of  the 
Mermaid  Contest  at  Delta  Gamma's 
Anchor  Splash  last  year,  and  Sharon 
Russell  was  named  Miss  Memphis  State. 


Phi  Mu's  Barn  Party  and  Alumni-Col- 
legiate Party  were  held  last  year,  and, 
needlss  to  say,  a  good  time  as  had  by  all! 
Phi  Mu  participated  in  the  Student  Or- 
ganizations Fair  and  Sigma  Chi's  Derby 
Day  festivities. 

The  ladies  of  Phi  Mu  must  maintain  a 
2.0  GPA  to  remain  in  good  standing.  The 
Most  Improved  Scholarship  Award  is  given 
annually  by  Phi  Mu  at  the  Greek  Awards 
Banquet.  Phi  Mu  supports  a  different 
charity  each  year.  Last  year,  Phi  Mu  raised 
and  donated  money  to  Multiple  Sclerosis. 
Nationaly,  Phi  Mu  supports  Project  HOPE 
(Health  Opportunities  for  People  Every- 
where).

SIGMA  KAPPA 


The  Sigma  Kappa  Sorority  has  been 
established  on  the  Memphis  State  campus 
for  the  last  thirty-seven  years.  They  were 
officially  founded  May  3,  1947,  as  the 
second  sorority  at  Memphis  State.  The 
forty-five  member  sorority  gives  its  support, 
partitipation,  and  dedication  to  the  campus 
and  community.  Their  purpose  is  to  help 
make  each  sister  the  most  of  what  she  can 
and  wants  to  be.  Through  their  activities  to 
the  school  and  community  this  goal  is 
achieved. 

The  Sigma  Kappas  participate  in  such 
campus  events  as  All  Sing,  Greek  Week, 
Derby  Day,  the  Sigma  Kappa  Fall  Party, 
the  Sigma  Kappa  Crown  Pearl  Ball,  and 
Pledge  Swaps.  The  sisters  work  closely 
with  their  own  Alum  Group. 

Gerentology  is  their  local  philanthropy. 
Visits,  songs,  home-made  items  and  parties 
are  just  a  few  of  the  treats  given  to  the  local 
elerly  in  the  area.  Their  National  Philan- 
thropies are  the  Maine  Sea  Coast  Mission 
and  the  American  Farm  School.  The  Maine 


Sea  Coast  mission  helps  tne  underprivi- 
ledged  in  the  Maine  area,  and  the  Farming 
School  is  located  in  Greece  and  educates 
Greek  children  on  the  fundamentals  of 
farming  in  hopes  of  preventing  the  children 
from  living  a  life  of  poverty. 

This  year  the  Sigma  Kappas  were 
awarded  first  place  in  the  All  Sing  Small 
Division,  second  overall  with  intramural 
wins,  the  "Turkey  Trot"  with  Miss  Suzi 
Feyen,  and  recognition  from  the  National 
Sigma  Kappa  for  excellent  service  with 
Alum-Active  relations.  Four  sisters  were 
initiated  into  the  Order  of  Omega  this  year 
as  well. 

The  Sigma  Kappa  Sorority  requires  a 
minimum  of  2.00  GPA.  Study  buddies, 
quiet  hours,  as  well  as  a  teacher  file  are 
offered  to  help  maintain  high  grades. 
Scholarships  are  awarded  each  year,  one  to 
the  Most  Outstanding  Senior  and  one  to 
the  most  outstanding  Sigma  Kappa  in  the 
form  of  the  Outstanding  Sigma  Award.

ALPHA  KAPPA  ALPHA 


Q^D 


In  1908,  Alpha  Kappa  Alpha  Sorority  became  America's  first  Greek  letter  organization 
established  by  and  for  black  women.  With  an  international  nucleus  of  more  than  70,000 
service  oriented  sorors,  AKA  has  continuously  etched  her  footprints  in  the  sands  of  time. 
The  innumerable  imprints  have  addressed  the  needs,  issues  and  problems  of  the  day.  The 
MSU  Epsilon  Epsilon  Chapter  was  chartered  in  1968.  Since  that  time,  the  ladies  of  AKA 
have  been  involved  in  many  campus  and  community  activities. 

Alpha  Kappa  Alpha  was  established  as  a  service  organization.  Today  their  influence  and 
concerns  stretch  far  beyond  campus  gates  and  student  interests.  The  major  goals  of 
program  activities  center  upon  significant  issues  in  AKA's  larger  national  life  and  focus  on 
areas  which  range  from  remote  corners  of 
depressed  communities  to  world-wide  cares 
and  concerns.   Epsilon  Epsilon  is  locally 
giving  service  as  the  only  undergraduate 
adopter  of  a  city  school,  granting  scholar- 
ships and  aide  to  its  students. 

The  list  of  honors  and  recognitions  that 
AKA  has  received  lately  is  lengthy  and 
impressive.  The  Black  Student  Association 
of  MSU  awarded  AKA  with  a  Certificate  of 
Award  for  Dedication  and  Service  last 
February.  Last  March,  AKA  received  the 
following  awards  at  the  51st  Southeastern 
Regional  Conference,  held  in  Biloxi,  Missis- 
sippi,: 1st  Place  Civic  Involvement  Award, 
1st  Place  Undergraduate  Achievement  A- 
ward  and  1st  Place  Pictorial  History  Award. 

AKA  also  received  a  Certificate  of  Appre- 
ciation from  the  American  Heart  Association 
for  sponsoring  a  Jump-a-thon  for  charity. 
The  ladies  also  were  recognized  by  Lincoln 
Elementary  School  for  their  volunteer  service 
there. 

Alpha  Kappa  Alpha  also  supports  the 
NAACP,  UNICEF,  UNCF,  NCNW,  AKA 
Cleveland  Job  Corps  Center,  Sickle  Cell 
Anemia,  LeBonheur  Children's  Research 
Hospital  and  a  local  senior  citizen's  home. 

The  members  of  AKA  must  maintain  a 
2.5  GPA  in  order  to  stay  in  the  sorority. 
AKA  gives  the  Prominent  Black  Woman 
Award  on  an  annual  basis,  along  with 
Barbara  K.  Phillips  Scholarships  and  Lead- 
erships grants. 

Alpha  Kappa  Alpha's  calendar  year  is  a 
very  busy  one.  September  is  the  month  that 
AKA  schedules  their  AKA  Week  on  campus. 
Founder's  Day  is  also  in  September.  AKA's 
Prominent  Black  Woman  Banquet  is  held  in 
October,  and  the  Sweetheart  dance,  the 
Pink  and  Green  Ball,  is  held  in  December  at 
the  Benchmark  Hotel.  March  is  the  month 
for  AKA's  Regional  Conference,  held  in 
Nashville,  and  a  Senior  Banquet  is  held  in 
May.  Each  month,  AKA  invites  a  group  of 
Lincoln  Elementary  students  to  MSU  for  a 
planned  program. 

Alpha  Kappa  Alpha  Sorority  is  obviously 
a  very  busy  and  productive  organization 
here  on  campus.  The  ladies  are  very  proud 
of  their  sorority,  and  MSU  and  the  city  of 
Memphis  are  fortunate  to  have  such  an 
organization  here.

The  Phi  Sigma  Kappa  Fraternity  was 
established  at  Memphis  State  in  May  of 
1 969.  With  the  twenty-fifth  aniversary  came 
some  changes.  The  brothers  started  a  new 
little  sister  program  and  a  new  alumni 
program.  This  year  the  alumni  donated 
money  to  refurbish  the  front  room  of  the 
house.  Some  other  changes  on  the  board 
include  renovating  the  old  house  or  buying 
a  new  one,  but  these  plans  are  still  on  the 
drawing  board. 

The  25  member  fraternity  enjoys  a  close 
feeling  of  unity  and   brotherhood  that

cannot  be  found  in  larger  groups.  All  the 
brothers  work  and  maintain  at  least  a  2.0 
GPA  at  the  same  time.  As  a  working 
fraternity,  there  is  not  always  time  for  the 
many  different  greek  events;  however,  they 
do  participate  in  all  events  that  aid  good 
causes.  Within  the  last  year,  the  Phi  Sigs 
helped  raise  money  for  a  local  politician, 
St.  Jude's  Childrens  Research  Hospital 
and  the  Kidney  Foundation.  The  brothers 
had  apoclipse  now,  still  in  saigon,  ship 
wreck  and  moonlight  ball  as  some  of  their 
themes  for  the  larger  parties  given  this 
year.

Established  in  the  early  70's,  the  Little 
Sisters  of  the  Crimson  Cross  support  the 
activities  of  their  brothers  in  Kappa  Alpha 
and  represent  the  hospitality  attributed  to 
the  belles  of  the  South. 

Each  month,  the  little  sisters  award  the 
Gentleman  of  the  Month  Award  to  the 
active  who  has  best  displayed  the  idea  of  a 
southern  gentleman.  They  also  award  the 
Gentleman  of  the  Year  Award  in  May  to 
the  brother  who  has  shown  the  character- 
istics of  a  gentleman  throughout  the  year. 
Matt  Smith  received  the  award  for  1982- 
1983. 

Little  Sister  Rush  is  held  in  February 
and  the  annual  Casino  Party  is  held  in 
March.  Last  February,  the  sisters  threw  a 
surprise  Valentine's  party  for  their  brothers. 
The  Black  and  White  Formal  is  held  yearly 
in  April.  Also  in  April  was  a  softball  battle 
between  the  little  sisters  of  Kappa  Alpha 
and  those  of  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon.  The 
Sisters  of  the  Crimson  Cross  help  their 
brothers  with  their  support  of  Muscular 
Dystrophy  in  their  many  fund  raisers.

KAPPA  ALPHA 


KA 


"We're  number  one!"  Kappa  Alpha  exclaims,  pointing  out  that  the  fraternity  is  both 
the  oldest  and  the  largest  on  the  Memphis  State  campus. 

As  the  biggest  big  brothers,  Kappa  Alphas  work  closely  with  the  Interfraternity 
Council,  Student  Government  Association  and  the  Student  Ambassador  Board.  The 
93  members  explain  their  purpose  as  promoting  brotherhood  and  social  interaction. 
And  of  course,  traditions  of  good  old  southern  hospitality,  as  their  busy  social 
schedule  shows. 

Activities  this  year  included  Burger  Bust,  Old  South  Week,  a  luau,  Black  and  White 
formal,  and  Halloween,  Christmas  and  New  Year's  Eve  parties  for  a  start.  Other 
projects  including  a  Homecoming  float,  Homecoming  Party  and  participation  in  the 
Miss  MSU  Pageant.  Kappas  also  sponsored  a  national  leadership  institute. 

When  the  Kappas  raise  their  voices  in  song,  they  make  it  count,  as  they  showed  by 
winning  the  Greek  All-Sing  award  and  then  going  on  to  take  the  overall  award.  They 
were  also  winners  of  Greek  Week  and  managed  to  raise  more  money  than  any  other 
fraternity  for  the  Muscular  Distrophy  Association  drive. 

Matt  Smith  is  chapter  president;  Kevin  Campbell,  vice  president;  Greg  Singleton, 
secretary;  Kenny  Madden,  corresponding  secretary;  Scott  Miles,  historian;  David 
Kelly,  treasurer;  Scott  McCall,  parliamentarian;  Joe  Mahar,  doorkeeper,  and  George 
Davis,  ritualist. 

The  chapter  was  started  on  the  Memphis  State  campus  in  October,  1948.

Pi  Kappa  Alpha  was  one  of  the  first 
fraternities  at  MSU,  coming  to  Memphis 
State  in  December  of  1947.  in  1968,  Pi 
Kappa  Alpha  received  the  Smythe  Award 
as  outstanding  chapter  in  the  nation.  The 
fraternity  has  also  received  the  Newell

Award  since  its  rebirth  in  1981.  The  Pikes 
were  awarded  the  Regional  Award  for

For  the  past  23  years,  the  Little  Sigmas 
of  Sigma  Chi  have  worked  primarily  to 
benefit  their  fraternity  brothers.  The  little 
sisters  help  with  the  fraternity's  Rush 
schedule  and  in  planning  and  giving  parties 
throughout  the  year. 

The  fifty  ladies  who  were  chosen  to  be 
Little  Sigmas  last  yearawarded  their  annual 
Man-of-the-Year  Award  to  the  brother 
that  they  considered  to  have  shown  out- 
standing leadership  ablities.  The  Little 
Sigmas  enjoy  their  work  with  Sigma  Chi; 
they  benefited  from  a  productive  year  in 
the  83-84  school  year  under  the  directorship 
of  their  liason,  Tim  Tomes.

SIGMA  CHI 


Allen  Dawson-President 


Ever  since  their  arrival  at  Memphis 
State  in  June  of  1954,  the  gentlemen  of 
Sigma  Chi  have  had  a  strong  belief  in 
community,  civic  and  campus  activities. 
The  brothers  of  Sigma  Chi  are  composed 
of  many  different  temperaments,  talents, 
and  convictions. 

Sigma  Chi  supports  the  Wallace  Village 
for  Abused  Children,  in  Boulder,  Colorado. 
They  also  raise  and  donate  money  to  Saint 
Jude  Children's  Hospital,  the  Christian 
Children's  Fund,  Muscular  Dystrophy  and 
Cerebral  Palsy  research  and  National 
Hemophilia  Foundation. 

The  members  of  Sigma  Chi  work  closely 
with  the  Panhellenic  Council  and  the 
Interfraternity  Council.  Last  year's  busy 
schedule  proved  to  be  beneficial  to  Sigma 
Chi.  The  fraternity  received  first  place  in 
the  Greek  Fashion  Show  and  All-Sing 
Poster  Contest.  They  took  second  place  in 
Intramurals  and  All-Sing  Mixed  Division 
with  Pi  Beta  Phi  Sorority.  They  also  placed 
third  in  Greek  Week  Festivities. 

At  the  annual  Greek  Awards  banquet, 
Sigma  Chi  gives  the  highest  GPA  recog- 
nition award  for  the  most  deserving  pledge. 
Sigma  Chi  is  the  sponsor  of  Derby  Day  at 
MSU,  in  which  all  the  sororities  participate. 
They  also  sponsor  the  Sweetheart's  Ball 
and  Little  Sigma  Halloween  Party.  The 
Greek  Fashion  Show,  Homecoming,  Bro- 
therhood Day  and  Greek  Ladies  Night  are 
also  yearly  events  with  Sigma  Chi.

Formed  to  promote  fellowship,  honor, 
and  mutual  trust  among  its  members,  the 
Pi  Kappa  Phi  fraternity  was  founded  as 
the  Gamma  Delta  Chapter  at  MSU  in 
May,  1966.  The  brothers  of  Pi  Kappa  Phi 
strive  to  uphold  the  traditions  and  ideas 
of  Memphis  State  and  to  encourage 
academic  excellence  among  its  members. 

A  2.0  GPA  is  required  of  anyone  who 
wishes  to  pledge  Pi  Kappa  Phi  and  is  also 
required  of  its  active  members.  Joining 
the  fraternity  has  many  advantages. 
Members  can  participate  in  activities 
such  as  parties,  local  and  national  meet- 
ings, dancees,  charity  events,  and  many 
other  gatherings. 

The  fraternity  awards  the  Gary  E. 
Heing  Most  Dedicated  Brother  Award, 
the  Best  Plidge  Award,  and  the  David  C 
George  Highest  GPA  Award  to  the 
brothers  who  most  deserve  these  honors. 

The  fraternity  had  a  very  busy  schedule 
last  year.  They  participated  in  the  Area  V 
Conclave,  during  which  1 6  chapters  from 
across  the  South-Central  United  States 
send  representatives.  The  Gamma  Delta 
Chapter  sent  15  brothers  to  Birmingham, 
Alabama,  to  represent  their  chapter. 

The  brothers  of  Pi  Kappa  Phi  are 
active  in  the  Spottswood  Neighborhood 
Association.  They  also  support  their 
national  philanthropy.  Project  PUSH 
(Play  Units  for  the  Severely  Handicap- 
ped). During  the  1983-84  school  year,  Pi 
Kappa  Phi  raised  $1,000  for  this  project.

LAMBDA  CHI  ALPHA 


Lambda  Chi  Alpha  has  tried  to  find  a  few  new  twists  to  the  normal  manner  in  which  a 
fraternity  is  run.  They  have  succeeded  in  stressing  scholastics  first,  due  mainly  to  the 
efforts  of  scholarship  chairman  Rick  Krapels  (not  pictured  below).  By  implementing 
group  study  sessions,  grade  reports  and  teacher  reports,  a  high  academic  status  for  the 
brothers  of  Lambda  Chi  is  ensured. 

The  gentlemen  do  take  time  out  for  a  little  fun,  though.  Competing  in  the  annual 
Anchor  Splash  swimming  event,  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  has  reigned  as  champion  four  times. 
Second  place  honors  also  were  earned  this  year  for  their  talents  during  All  Sing.  Last 
year,  Lambda  Chi  won  the  Water  Ballet,  Mr.  Muscles  and  Spirit  awards  at  Anchor 
Splash.

John  Giaroli

The  brothers  of  Lambda  Chi  serve  the 
needs  of  Les  Passes  Rehabilitation  Center, 
the  Kidney  Foundation  and  Cystic  Fibrosis. 
Inside  the  fraternity,  the  leaders  of  Lambda 
Chi  Alpha  have  given  new  members  an 
opportunity  to  fit  right  in.  Rush  chairman 
last  fall  was  Daryl  Fowler  (not  pictured 
below).  With  an  associate  member  system 
that  replaces  the  common  pledge  system, 
Lambda  Chi  gives  their  members  a  chance 
to  have  equal  rights  which  allows  the 
fraternity  as  a  whole  to  run  more  smoothly.

Chartered  at  Memphis  State  in  1951, 
Kappa  Sigma  has  had  many  years  of  hard 
work,  prestigious  honors  and  plain  fun. 

The  35  gentlemen  of  Kappa  Sigma 
were  involved  in  many  activities  through- 
out the  year.  The  District  12  Conclave 
was  held  in  March  of  1983.  Seven  chapters 
from  West  Tennessee  and  West  Kentucky 
gathered  at  MSU  for  a  weekend  of  semi- 
nars and  workshops.  Along  with  Kappa 


Sig's  Valentine's  Day  Party  was  the  fra- 
ternity's Bahama  Mama  Party,  held  in 
April.  At  the  party,  a  vacation  in  the 
Bahamas  was  raffled  off.  The  fraternity 
also  hosted  two  Back-to-School  Parties 
and  a  Halloween  Party.  The  Little  Sisters 
of  the  fraternity  (The  Stardusters)  hosted 
a  Starduster  Ball  for  their  Greek  brothers. 
Kappa  Sigma  also  had  a  Founder's  Day 
gathering  on  December  10th,  celebrating 


Jimmy  Brisentine

the  founding  of  their  fraternity.  Every 
two  years  there  is  a  Grand  Conclave,  a 
national  convention  for  the  fraternity. 
Last  year  this  was  held  in  Knoxville  at  the 
World's  Fair  Holiday  Inn. 

The  members  of  Kappa  Sigma  actively 
emphasize  the  importance  of  studying. 
Study  sessions  for  actives  and  pledges  are 
held  to  help  all  members  maintain  the  2.0 
GPA  necessary  to  be  a  member  of  the 
fraternity.  An  award  is  given  to  the  Big 
Brother/ Litle  Sister  with  the  highest 
GPA. 

At  the  Biennial  Grand  Conclave,  Kappa 
Sigma  received  awards  for  the  Most 
Improved  Chapter,  the  Most  Improved 
District,  the  Top  Scholarship  Award  for 
continuously  exceeding  the  All  Fraternity 
and  All  Men's  averages,  and  also  a  Chap- 
ter Standards  Award  for  excellence  in 
Chapter  programs. 

Curt  Meier  was  awarded  the  Grand 
Scribe  Efficiency  Award,  and  the  Ritual 
Proficiency  Award  was  given  to  Jimmy 
Brisentine  and  Scott  Beacham. 

During  Greek  Week,  Kappa  Sigma's 
Cary  Pappas  was  named  Fraternity  of  the 
Year  and,  along  with  Scott  Beacham  and 
Jimmy  Brisentine,  was  inducted  into  the 
Order  of  Omega,  an  honor  society  for 
Greek  members  at  MSU. 

Kappa  Sigma  had  a  very  busy  year  last 
year,  and  the  members  have  plenty  to 
show  for  the  hard  work  and  endless 
efforts  that  they  put  into  their  fraternity.

PHI  GAMMA  DELTA 


The  brothers  of  Phi  Gamma  Delta 
encourage  their  members  to  develop  good 
study  habits  as  well  as  enjoy  an  active 
social  life.  They  promote  their  scholastic 
interests  by  awarding  $135  annually  to 
the  pledge  with  the  highest  grade  point  average. 
It  appears  their  enthusiasm  has  paid  off 
since  Phi  Gamma  Delta  now  holds  the 
Delta  Cup,  the  award  presented  to  the 
Interfraternity  pledge  class  with  the  highest 
GPA. 

It's  not  all  work  for  Fiji,  though.  Some 
of  their  major  social  events  include  the 
annual  graduate  brothers  dinner,  the 
Black  Diamond  Formal  and  the  Fiji 
Islands  Luau  from  which  the  fraternity 
gains  its  nickname.  A  little  time  must  also 
be  spent  in  song  since  the  34  members  of 
the  fraternity  teamed  up  with  the  sisters 


of  Delta  Zeta  to  take  first  place  in  the 
mixed  division  of  1983's  All-Sing. 

The  gentlemen  of  Phi  Gamma  Delta 
donate  their  fund-raising  profits  to  St. 
Joseph's  Hospital.  Four  Fiji  members 
also  attended  the  International  Leadership 
Training  Academy  and  Workshop,  spon- 
sored by  the  fraternity. 

Phi  Gamma  Delta  members  have  a- 
chieved  a  great  deal  as  a  group  and 
individually.  For  their  promotion  of  school 
spirit,  the  Blue  Chippers  designated  Phi 
Gamma  Delta  their  Most  Spirited  Group. 
When  discussing  individual  honors,  Fiji 
names  members  Troy  Cowan,  who  received 
the  highest  pledge  GPA  in  the  Interfra- 
ternity Council  and  Burnie  Dickinson, 
who  was  named  the  Greek  Intramural 
Man  of  the  Year.

SIGMA  ALPHA  EPSILON 


The  Brothers  of  Sigma  Alpha  Epslon 
celebrated  their  30th  year  here  at  MSU 
last  November,  having  come  to  Memphis 
State  in  1953.  The  Greek  organization 
exists  to  provide  a  social  outlet  for  its 
members  and  to  create  a  lasting  bond  of 
brotherhood. 

The  sixty-five  brothers  of  SAE  con- 
vene once  a  week  on  Sunday  nights  for 
their  weekly  planing  sessions.  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon  sponsors  a  boxing  tour- 
nament in  October  along  with  "Lucy's 
Ball."  The  sweethearts  of  the  fraternity 
host  their  formal  in  the  fall,  also.  At  the 
end  of  spring,  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon 


hosts  its  "True  Beat  Formal."  Also 
during  the  spring  semester  is  SAE's 
Little  Sister  Rush  and  their  annual 
Spring  Weekend. 

Locally  and  nationally,  the  brothers 
of  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon  raise  and  donate 
money  to  Easter  Seals.  To  maintain  a 
membership  in  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon, 
students  must  keep  a  2.0  cumulative 
GPA.  The  fraternity  awards  the  annual 
Most  Valuable  Player  Award  to  the 
outstanding  player  on  the  basktball 
team  and  an  award  for  the  Spring 
Football  Classic.

ZANTfflPHANY 


Due  to  the  fact  that  we  were  unable  to 
sell  this  one  miserable  little  page, 
Zanthiphany,  the  society  of  do-nothing 
journalists,  lives  again. 

Zanthiphany,  created  in  the  early  1 960"s 
when  unsold  space  became  the  rule  rather 
than  the  exception,  has  remained  a  sacred 
inspiration  for  our  dedicated  DeSoto  staff 
throughout  the  year.  The  ZT  creed, 
"Deadlines  are  not  carved  in  stone,"  gave 
us  much  needed  encouragement  during 
our  midnight  treks  to  Krystal  and  to  Stop- 
and-Go  to  play  Pole  Position.  And  who 
can  forget  calling  FM  100  to  request  "Beat 
It"  seven  times  in  the  same  night? 

Yea,  surely  David  Sasuachwa,  founder 
and  revered  leader  of  Zanthiphany,  was 
with  us  this  year.  His  spirit,  often  seen  by 
disoriented  staffers  on  the  brink  of  mental 
collapse,  was  heard  to  utter  such  jewels  of 
wisdom  as  "Never  rearrange  Donna's  filing 
system,"  and  "When  are  you  people  going 
to  clean  this  place  up?" 

As  usual,  the  ZT  social  event  of  the 
season  was  the  Screaming  Mimi  Ball  held 


/.anthipanv  Members  Are: 

Scott  (Go  For  It)  Vanzandt 

Sondra  (Get  Bent)  Lewis 

Ethan  (How's  Your  Spanish  Grade?)  Porter 

Steve  (Get  a  REAL  Job)Norman 

Donna  (Check  Out  My  Rock)  Spencer 

Cedric  (III  Shoot  It)  Wilson 

Melissa  (Don't  Give  Me  Captions)  Robbins 

Tonda  (Give  Me  Something  To  Do)  Brewer 

Chris  (I  GOT  a  Real  Job)  Carothers 

Mary  Lynn  (I  Need  Stories)  Caldwell 

Lou  (III  Have  it  Later)  Carmichael 

Ruth  (I  Can  Write  it)  Turner 

Chuck  (Wanna  Buy  a  Shirt)  Schrimsher 


in  the  Pandemonium  Room  of  the 
Riverbottom  Club.  Music  for  this  gala 
event  was  made  possible  by  Steve  Norman's 
connections  with  "Foxy  Roxy's  Banana 
Boat  Band, "who  offered  rousing  renditions 
of  such  songs  as  "Just-A-Swanging"  and 
"La  Cucaracha." 

Another  highlight  of  the  year  was  the 
presentation  of  the  "Frog  of  the  Year" 
award.  This  award  is  given  to  a  staff 
member  who  has  made  an  unique  contri- 
bution to  the  book,  thereby  securing 
Zanthiphany's  existence  for  at  least  another 
year.  This  year  the  award  was  shared  by 
Tonda  Brewer,  whose  alert  attention  to 
detail  enabled  her  to  spot  the  first  mistake 
leading  to  the  infamous  "Indexgate,"  and 
Ethan  Porter,  whose  prolific  writing  ability 
has  helped  him  to  capture  the  record  of 
most  bylines  in  a  single  section. 

Well,  when  all's  been  said  and  done  (and 
hopefully  turned  in),  Zanthiphany  and  its 
legacy  will  still  live  on  as  long  as  there  is 
space  to  fill.  All  that  we,  the  ZT  members 
of  1983-84,  have  to  say  is:  "Don't  ask  us— 
we  just  work  here."

The  Interfraternity  Councl.  A  place  where  Greeks 
have  met  since  1949  to  share  common  problems  and 
concerns.  And  a  forum  for  communication  and 
cooperation  among  members  of  the  Greek  community. 

That  is  how  Council  president  R.  Maurice  Hollings- 
worth  sees  it.  And  he  hopes  the  10  member  chapters 
agree. 

The  Council  works  closely  with  the  Panhellenic  and 
the  Pan-Hellenic  Councils  and  sponsors  activities  of 
its  own  as  well.  This  year  members  held  a  boatride 
during  Homecoming  and  worked  on  Greek  Week. 
They  also  sponsored  the  Sleeky  Greek  Fashion  show 
held  in  the  spring  term. 

Officers  are  proud  that  their  member  chapters 
raised  over  $30,000  to  support  various  philanthropies, 
including  the  United  Cerebral  Palsy  and  Cystic  Fibrosis 
drives. 

The  Council  requires  a  2.0  grade  point  verage  and 
awards  citations  for  the  highest  chapter  GPA,  the 
highest  active  GPA  and  the  highest  pledge  GPA. 

Other  officers  include  Lee  Conley,  vice  president  for

MSU  Photo  Services 


From  glamor  shots  and  high-fashion 
photographs  to  passport  and  ID  pictures, 
at  Memphis  State  they  all  come  through 
the  same  capable  hands  of  University  Photo 
Services. 

Photo  Services  does  all  photo  work  for 
University  publications,  information  offices 


and  academic  departments.  Included  in 
that  domain  are  application  and  passport 
pictures  as  well  as  portraits.  ID  photos  are 
a  major  effort  for  the  department,  since  the 
beginning  of  each  semester  finds  hundreds 
of  new  students  scrambling  for  that  magic 
plastic-coated  card. 


Gil  Michael  is  director  of  photo  services, 
with  Art  Grider  as  photographer-cinema- 
tographer;  Tom  Wofford,  photographer; 
Don  Moy,  student  photographer,  and 
Phyliss  Smith,  photography  coordinator. 
Directed  studies  students  also  assist  in  the

1984:  Is  Big  Brother  Here? 


Yes,  it  was  finally  the  year.  Long  awaited 
by  two  generations  of  Americans,  it  was 
finally  1984. 

George  Orwell's  1949  bestseller  was  a 
smashing  hit  again  as  people  drained 
reprints  from  local  bookstores  all  over  the 
country,  and  Memphis  was  no  exception. 
English  teachers  met  the  challenge  with 
vigor;  the  classic  was  well  integrated  into 
political  science,  communication  studies, 
philosophy,  history,  technology. ..all  did 
their  part  to  focus  on  the  Orwellean 
prophecy  and  to  "compare  and  contrast" 
with  that  was  actually  occurring  in  this 
year  of  Big  Brother. 

Were  we  to  ignore  the  significance  of 
1984  we  might  escape  criticism  this  year 
while  there's  plenty  of  discussion  on  the 
topic.  But  we  are  a  yearbook,  and  a 
permanent  record  of  what  happened  at 
Memphis  State  in  1984  .  So,  we'll  have  a 
shot  too. 

George  Orwell's  1984  has  not  come  to 
be,  not  in  the  world  as  far  as  we  know,  not 
in  America  or  Memphis  and  certainly  not 


at  Memphis  State  University.  Still,  there 
are  comparisons: 

We  do  not  have  telescreens  that  watch 
us,  but  we  have  televisions  sets  we  watch. 
There  has  been  a  rejuvination  of  interest  in 
soap  operas  -  afternoon  serial  dramas 
which  draw  a  mixed  audience  of  male  and 
female  viewers.  The  characters  and  plots 
are  so  involving  some  students  simply  will 
not  schedule  classes  during  "their  soap." 
Prime-time,  night  hits  are:  Dynasty  Dallas, 
and  Hotel  (all  soaps);  Remington  Steel, 
Night  Rider  and  The  A-Team  (action- 
drama);  and  Cheers  and  Three's  Company 
(situation  comedies). 

Winston  Smith,  1984\  hero,  hated 
doing  his  morning  exercises,  but  was  afraid 
not  to.  Today  exercising  is  in  great  vogue 
with  numerous  tapes  and  records  to  put 
people  through  their  paces.  Jane  Fonda's 
exercise  record  rivaled  Michael  Jackson's 
"Thriller"  album  as  a  number  1  hit.  On 
campus,  aerobic  dance  classes  are  filled  as 
even  MSU  football  squad  gets  into  step 
with  the  rhythm.

Association  for  Education  In  Journalism  and  Mass  Communication  (AEJMG) 
convention  from  August  6  through  August  B,  1 904  it  will  ha  hosted  by  the  College 
of  Journalism  and  Communications,  University  ot  Florida,  Gainesville,  Florida 
3201 1.  It  you  are  not  ptennlng  to  attend  the  convention,  |ust  where  will  you  be? 
Everyone  has  to  be  somewhere,  on 


As  endless  rows  of  Eurasian  soldiers 
marched  onward  in  the  background, 
Winston  Smith  and  co-workers  took  out 
their  aggressions  on  the  screen  image  of 
arch-enemy  Goldstein  during  their  daily 
"Two  Minute  Hate".  Today  we  have  Alien 
video  arcade  games;  Pac  Man,  Centipede, 
Defenders,  Ms.  Pac  Man  ,  Astroids  and  a 
host  of  popular  quarter-eaters  to  bang  and 
bruise  in  the  University  Center  basement. 

In  1984,  "Newspeak"  was  Big  Brother's 
new  language  of  INGSOC.  Winston  Smith, 
in  the  Ministry  of  Truth,  was  familiar  with 
words  such  as  "doubleplusungood"(extreme- 
ly  unsatisfactory),  "fullwise"  (in  full), 
"upsub"  (submit  to  a  higher  authority), 
and  "antefiling"  (before  filing).  Today  we 
"systemitize"  almost  everything  so  when  it 
"impacts  on"  it,  the  mind,  will  not  be 
boggled.  A  "revenue  enhancement  program" 
is  taxes,  a  "disruptive  reentry  system"  is  the 
Titan  11  Missile  and  a  "destabilizing  action" 
is  a  war. 

Winston  Smith  used  a  dictaphone 
called  a  "speakwrite."  Today  we  have 
computers  that  talk  to  us  and  we  are  on  the 
verge  of  having  home  computers  that  will 
understand,  at  least  enough  to  write,  what 
we  say  to  them.  George  Orwell  seems  to 
have  predicted  more  reliance  upon  the 
printed  word  than  we  have  today.  In  1984, 
the  word  is  quickly  becoming  electronic.

In  the  book,  people  attended  the 
"flicks"  which  had  military  themes  and 
portrayed  graphic  violence.  Consider  the 
recent  vintage  "Blue  Thunder, ""Scarface," 
and  "Sudden  Impact,"  among  a  rash  of 
tremendously  popular  horror  thrillers 
which  leave  little  mayhem  to  the 
imagination. 

Julia,  Winston's  lover,  operated  a 
machine  which  produced  the  plots  of  novels 
in  a  fiction-writing  department  in  the 
Ministry  of  Truth.  Today,  the  latest 
electronic  entertainment  from  Infocom  is 
computer  disks  with  names  such  as  Witness, 
Zork,  Infidel,  Deadline,  and  Enchanter. 
The  home  computer  operator  can  spend  a 
day  creating  a  mystery  novel  which  unfolds 
only  when  the  "detective"  makes  decisions. 
There  are  many  similarities  between 
Orwell's  technological  predictions/  warnings 
and  the  world  as  we  know  it  (if  we  are 
willing  to  stretch  reality  a  bit.)  But  his 
world  of  1984  is  certainly  vastly  different 
than  the  one  we  know. 

We  believe  technological  advancements 
have  improved  the  lives  of  humans.  Most 
of  our  personal  experience  with  science  is 
through  devices  that  have  made  chores 
more  simple,  improved  medical  care, 
provided  knowledge  about  the  universe, 
increased  our  leisure  time  and  extended 
our  freedoms.  Consider: 

Today  the  use  of  a  slide  rule  is  taught 
as  if  the  instrument  was  an  abacus.  Science, 
engineering,  math  and  statistics  majors 
consider  the  device  primitive  compared 
with  their  electronic  calculators. 

Computer  literacy  is  in. ..in  fact  it  is 
the  law.  Youngsters  are  considered  illiterate 
if  they  do  not  understand  elementary 
computer  programming  by  the  end  of 
junior  high  school. 

Robotics  was  successfully  demonstrat- 
ed in  1983  as  a  labor-saving  (and  manu- 


Photo  by  Clay  Scruggs 

facturing  cost  saving)  concept  with  a  full 
line  of  welding  robots  at  the  Nissen 
assembly  plant  in  New  Smyrna,  Tenn. 

Early  in  1984,  Schering-Plough,  home- 
based  in  Memphis,  was  awarded  FDA 
permission  to  manufacture  interferon  using 
genetic  grafting.  Health  science  centers  in 
Memphis  have  successfully  experimented 
with  liver  and  bone  marrow  transplants, 
and  we  are  in  the  early  stages  of  laser 
surgery. 

In  all,  the  technological  advances  are 
impressive.  But  perhaps  the  most  satisfying 
realization  is  that  most  have  improved  life. 
Even  as  the  economy  fluctuates  between 
recession  and  recovery  (which  it  certainly 
has  in  the  last  year),  we  have  the  impression 
that  the  quality  of  life  is  better  now  than  it 
has  ever  been  in  the  past,  and  Memphis 
State  University  itself  is  tangible  evidence 
of  that  improvement. 

Education  has  been  the  solution  for 
many  of  the  past's  problems  and  inequities. 
Today  that  truism  is  more  widely  accepted 
among  all  peoples.  It  is  emphasized  at 
every  graduation  ceremony  when  families 
of  MSU  graduates  offer  a  collective  cheer 
for  the  first  member  to  earn  a  college 
degree.  It  is  felt  by  every  freshman  who 
forestalls  earning  a  quick  wage  to  work 
toward  a  more  satisfying,  more  worthwhile 
contribution  that  might  be  made  a  little 
later.  These  are  the  attitudes  of  1984. 

Whether  we  credit  Orwell  with  producing 
only  an  interesting  fantasy,  chide  him  for 
being  mistaken  about  the  direction  the 
world  was  going  or  cheer  him  for  providing 
a  warning  to  leaders  of  the  1950's,  we  are 
blessed  that  progress  has  not  taken  us  into 
his  1984  totalitarian  nightmare.  We  have 
to  be  glad  he  chose  to  do  it  to  the  fictional 
Winston  Smith  and  thankful  that  in  some 
small  way  his  work  may  have  us  closer 
toward  the  freedoms  we  cherish  todav.

Editor's  Note 


As  1  watch  the  final  few  pages  of  this 
book  finally  go  to  press,  1  cannot  help  but 
reminisce  a  bit. 

Coming  into  a  job  such  as  editing  the 
DeSoto  in  mid-stream  is  not  easy,  but  the 
book  is  finished,  and  for  that  fact  I  must 
thank  everyone  who  helped  me  through 
the  rough  times.  It  is  a  well  known  fact 
around  the  office  (sometimes  too  well 
known)  that  1  did  not  want  the  job  when  it 
was  offered  to  me;  but  I  accepted  it  and  felt 
compelled  to  complete  what  1  had  started. 

There  is  a  great  deal  of  work  involved  in 
putting  out  a  publication  of  this  size,  and 
no  one  person  could  ever  hope  to  succeed 
without  a  tremendous  amount  of  assistance. 

Sondra,  as  my  assistant  editor  and  as  my 
friend,  you  have  without  doubt  been  one  of 
the  most  important  factors  in  my  keeping 
my  sanity  throughout  the  year.  I  could 
always  count  on  you  to  be  there  at  those 
times  at  which  1  needed  either  a  warm 
shoulder  to  cry  on  or  a  swift  boot.  I  know 
that  we  have  had  some  bad  times  in  the 
past  and  will  have  more  in  the  future,  but  1 
will  always  choose  to  remember  the  great 
times  which  we  spent  together.  You  have 
given  me  a  lifetime  of  fun,  albeit  often 
bizzare  fun,  in  the  time  we  have  known 
each  other.  Thank  you  from  the  bottom  of 
my  heart.  I  will  be  around  if  you  ever  need 
anything  "always  and  forever." 

Tonda,  you  have  given  me  so  much  more 
than  you  could  ever  know.  You  were  there 
to  help  me  pick  up  the  pieces  and  go  on 
when  1  wasn't  sure  that  1  could,  and  your 
sense  of  humor  your  adorable  smile  gave 
me  that  extra  push  to  get  through  many 
days  which  seemed  insurrmountable.  The 
work  you  did  compiling  the  index  might 
not  seem  very  significant  to  some;  however, 
I  realize  the  countless  hours  which  were 
spent  indexing  when  you  really  had  better 
things  to  do.  Also,  even  though  your 
bylines  were  left  off  more  of  your  stories 
than  they  were  put  on,  we  both  know  that 


you  wrote  the  Anchor  Splash  copy.  And 
who  could  forget  the  AFROTC  page'.' 
Ihank  you  so  much  for  all  those  times 
when  you  asked  "is  there  anything  I  can  do 
to  help/''  You  did  more  than  you  know  by 
just  being  there. 

Cedric,  what  can  1  really  say?  What  is  a 
yearbook  without  pictures?  Not  much  if 
you  asked  me  (then,  as  a  photographer  1 
may  be  a  bit  prejudiced),  but  thanks  to  you 
we  will  never  know.  You  were  always  on 
hand  when  those  times  came  that  a  picture 
just  had  to  be  shot  and  there  was  no  one 
around  to  shoot  it.  But  more  than  that,  you 
were  a  good  friend  throughout  the  year.  I 
wish  that  there  were  some  way  in  which  I 
could  repay  you  for  all  the  good  times  you 
brought  my  way  -  even  if  your  jokes  are 
usually  "gross."  Thanks  for  being  around. 

Steve,  you  were  one  of  the  saving  aspects 
of  this  year.  Not  only  did  you  do  the 
academics  section;  but  also,  you  jumped  in 
and  did  the  greeks.  A  great  deal  of  any 
credit  which  comes  to  this  book  rightfully 
belongs  to  you.  Your  work  was  very  vital 
to  the  production  of  this  DeSoto  1  wish 
that  1  could  list  all  the  work  you  did,  but 
the  space  on  this  page  does  not  allow  it. 
Your  sense  of  humor  brought  a  certain, 
off-the-wall  vitality  to  the  staff,  and  1  will 
always  remember  the  "allnighters' 'which 
you  helped  me  through.  Thanks  for  the 
memories,  and  best  of  luck  as  a  Kappa 
Sigma 

Ethan,  you  stepped  in  to  save  the  sports 
section  after  it  had  a  rough  start,  but  you 
dove  in  and  started  writing  almost  without 
question.  We  have  had  our  differences  in 
the  past,  and  I'm  sure  we  will  have  more; 
however,  1  think  we'll  make  it  through 
them.  1  haven't  had  as  much  of  a  chance  to 
show  you  the  real  me  as  1  would  have  liked, 
but  the  pressure  from  all  sides  just  kept 
pushing.  Thank  you  for  everything.  You 
helped  make  this  book  possible. 


Mary  Lynn,  we  too  have  had  ou 
disagreements,  but  then  hasn't  everyone 
You  are  one  of  the  few  staff  members  wh 
was  here  before  this  fiasco  of  a  year  begar 
We  knew  more  of  what  to  expect  than  dii 
the  new  people  on  the  staff,  but  even  w 
could  not  predict  that  it  would  turn  out  lik 
it  did!  I  hope  that  you  won't  take  anythin 
which  was  said  or  done  to  heart.  I  certainl 
won't.  Feeling  are  so  brittle  at  times 
Thank  you  for  staying  around  and  helpin 
to  see  this  book  to  completion. 

Melissa,  you  got  the  organizations  sectio: 
finished;  and  even  though  you  may  feel  a 
though  you  didn't  do  that  much  on  th 
section  yourself,  it  was  done  while  yoi 
were  in  charge  of  it.  That  is  more  thai 
anyone  else  can  say.  Thank  you  for  stickim 
out  the  year  with  me  and  staying  all  thos> 
hours  when  you  could  have  been  at  home 

Mrs.  Morrison,  you  have  done  so  muc 
more  than  should  have  been  asked  of  an 
"advisor."  Your  hours  of  dedicated  wor 
have  not  gone  unappreciated,  and  I  hop 
that  you  will  not  look  upon  this  year  wit 
only  bad  memories.  This  was  your  firs 
year  as  our  advisor,  and  we  all  know  that  i 
wasn't  easy.  Without  your  undying  willing 
ness  to  work  on  the  book,  it  never  wouf 
have  come  to  be.  Thank  you  for  everything 
1  only  wish  there  was  something  1  could  d< 
to  show  my  gratitude. 

1  know  that  1  must  have  left  at  leas 
someone  out,  but  at  this  thirteenth  hour 
my  memory  is  not  as  keen  as  it  should  be 
therefore,  to  the  countless  numbers  o| 
people  who  also  helped  to  produce  thi:j 
book,  1  say  "thank  you,  and  I'm  sorry  then 
wasn't  room  to  list  everything  you  did." 

This  year  has  been  an  unforgetabli 
experience  for  me.  Not  only  did  I  learn  ; 
great  deal,  but  also,  1  had  the  opportunit; 
to  meet  many  new,  interesting  people  wh< 
1  might  not  have  otherwise  met.  1  wil 
always  treasure  my  time  as  DeSoto  editor
