Forty-third annualSavageFor­. ensic, college debate tournament, will be held on the Southeastern

·campus Feb. 26 and 27. · More than 25 schools from many states are entered in the

. tournament. Those who have al­ready confirmed their appearance include colleges and universities frC!Im Minnesota, Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma.

Don Shirley is a many faceted pianist whose musical creativity has skyrocketed him to high praise in the music world. The art forms he created with his colleagues makes the music of Don Shlrley unique on today's concert stages •

Shirley cannot easily be cat­egorized as an interpreter of any specific style or idiom. Whether he plays classical, folk, or mod­ern works, the music emerges as an exciting musi cal invention.

I

Perhaps much of Don Shlrley's fame can also be accredited to him as a recording artist. Some 30 albums made earlier in his career are now collector's items. His talents are surely ilmate, but they have been highly polished through years of training and per­sonal curiousity whlch is part of each true artist's makeup.

Yearly , since 1962, Shirley and his colleagues have averaged sev­enty-plus concerts coast to coast. In 1969, he was ltsted in Who's Who in America and he performed at Carnegie Hall.

Shirley, at one time left the music field to follow up his Doc­torate in Psychology. After re­ceiving his Ph. D., Shirley travel­ed in the United States and the Carribean teaching -Psychology •

Wage And Price Controls

Father Walch has successfully blended his pastorial calling with the Fine Arts. He has provided many churches with much needed Lite rgical Art. Considered one of Oklahoma'a most authoritative painters, Father Walch's ability to communicate with others has contributed to his success in teach­ing art and demon~trating his painting methods.

Walch, a native Oklahoman, studied art at the Art Institute ifl Chicago and prepared for priesthood at Kendrick Seminar in St. Louis, Missouri. He was ordained a Catholic Priest in 1945 at Okla. City and is now affiliate with Okla. Art Center, Okla. Art Guild, Okla. Museum of Art, South­western Watercolor Society and Catholic Art Association. Walch has entered many local and nation­al . exhibitions with 30 winning prizes and 20 honorable mentions.

By SUSAN ALLEN

"M.ajor ing in home economics prepares a young woman for two career s, ooe asaHomeEcooomlcs instructor and the other as a housewife, " says Dr. Francis Re'fis, chairman of Southeastern's home ecooornics department. . At the present time there are 70 yOWlg women enrolled as home ec<nomlcs majors. Southeastern's Bacbelor of Science degree in home ecooomlcs is designed for pre­professional training for careers in nur sing, dietitics, consumer pr'oglems and fashionmerchandis­ing.

The Education Degree in home economics offers many opportuni-

ties for gra~tes for employment in expanoed government part­icipated ·programs such as: Head. Start Directors, Day Care Super­visors, social welfare case work­ers and extensloo worker s in pov­erty a reas, plus many more.

This degree also qualU1es a student for teaching home ecooo­mics in secoodary schools offer­ing general home ecooomics prog­rams.

The home ecooomics de-partment continues to keep up­to-date in helping to meet current problems as evidenced by part­iclpation in projects involved in training the high school drop-out, food service supervisors and others .

Class Proves To Be Exciting By CHERYLE BRENNE P

A passer -by in the Iodustr1Jl Education building at Southeastern may wonder what all the excite­ment is on the second floor in room Z03 on Monday afternoons. One peek through the door during tbe last two weeks would have re-

•

vealed students hustling about with tools and small sheets of copper. The class is Arts and t rarts 463, a t raining class for elementary teachers, and the instructor is James Latham.

Students in the arts and crafts class recently finished projects on copper tooling, and all seem pleas­ed with the results . It is a class in which students receive immediate feedback; as soon as Mr. Latham has demonstratedhow to make a specific project, the students can begin work on one of their own. The class is able to put to work at once their new training, and at the same time, the instructor can note how well his students have understood.

Although everyone principally works on the same type of pro­ject, each one can be as creative as he wishes, and the results are all quite different. The mounted copper tooling pictures ranged from Snoopy, a cutO<Il character, to a jet plane.

INDIVIDUAL HELP After Latham has given the

project demonstration, he works with each student individually as problems and questio~ come up. Attendance in the class is excell­ent because as he explained most students say, "I ca!ft affor d to miss class; I couldn't catch up. " And after observation of the class, one 'can ~ss that when the 1n-

dividnals begin work on their pro­jects, "They judge their own time." The results of the classes ftrst project show they judge the.ir time well.

Latham's college training comes from quite a list. He has attended Abiline Christian College, received his B.S. and master de­grees from North Texas State, and has graduate hours at Texas A&M, Oklahoma University, Illin­ois State University and sse as well. He came to sse in 1959 and has been part of industrial education staff since that time.

Latham explained that often students outside of elementary ed­ucation enjoy taking the arts and c rafts course. Tbe course is ex­cellent for anyone who would like to train children at c.amps or in clubs as well a s in public schools .

HAN DICAPPED WORK WELL

Concerning college students who may have h2,lldicaps that they feel would interfere with class work, Latham stated, "At the be­ginning of each semester, I always ask if anyeoe has a physical band• icap." He explained that during

In today's elementary schools, arts and crafts can be integrated into all of the many subjects: health, physical education and safety , language arts. math­ematics, music, ar t, science, and social studies. Students can make wooden crafts to help in math­ematics when studying such things as multiplication and fractions and the arts and crafts training, aids students preparing science pro­Jects. Arts and crafts gives stu­dents opportunities to creatively demonstrate what they learn. •

Starting "New Play •

Drariilatics Business Means ork For Brewer, Otherls

By JIM McGOWEN

Probably aoe of the hardest and most unrecognized jobs oo campus is 'tbat of Business Manager for the Drama Department and Alpha · Psi Omega, national booorary dra­matics fraternity .

Bill Brewer, Eufaula senior; is business manager for the depart­ment. He is presently working on the upcoming play, "J.B. " His career as business manager began with the sse production of "Stop the World." The job has proved to be both time-cons\D'T\ing, "quite a bit of work," and very educa· tiooal.

The SSC drama department op­erates its tick~\ sales, promotions, program and poster work in a very professional manner. Larger· theatres such as the Dallas Theatre Center and Mummers Theatre in Oklahoma City use this same . system: according to Brewer.

SEATS RESERVED All seats are .reserved and al­

phabetical envelopes are used under the present · system. By selling tickets· in advance and using the reserved seat . system, the business manager and those help­ing in the box office know exactly

' how many to expect and where to put them for each performance.

discotmts, " explained Brewer, "but it does require quite a bit of work." In the past tickets were sold at random and there was no way to know how many would show up at the door.

STARTS EARLY The theatre business manager

has to start early in order to effectively get everything or­ganized and finish the work before

• the staging of the performances .

"We usually start things rolling about four or !ive w~eks before our ·opening," Brewer recalled. The poster design alone may take "from two weeks to three months, " but usually it can be done in two or three weeks with much deter­mination.

The printed /Program presents some difficulties also. While the format is usually the same, the cover design and the design for the inside pages may take as much as two weeks to assemble. I

SIMPLE PROGRAM "We're doing a simple program

formance nigllts. Each ticket is similar but they must be printed from seven different plates so they can be dated.

"I do have a lot of help, though," · Brewer admitted. Most of the a·rt work this year was done by Jim Tabor, Durant senior. The college print shop prints the program and tickets and from six to nine stu­dents work the box office during the week .

'JB' IN MONTGOMERY "J.B." will be staged in Mont­

gomery Auditorium, presenting certain new challenges to Brewer. With "more tluin a thousand seats" not counting the balcony the vast auditorium necessitated "three days" to draw a seating chart alone.

In addition to this, the set has · caused a lot of work and a somewhat different business ar­rangement. Both box offices will be used and according to Brewer, "Everyone will be able to see the action well from any seat in the house."

As you can see, Brewer and company put in many hours and much detailed work in order to handle just one segment of the productions.

BILL BREWER, EUFAULA senior, serves as business manager for tte drama department and Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary drama­tics fraternity. The job, according to Brewer, is both time-consuming and "quite a bit of work," but very educational.

Biology Causes Many Problems

By SUSAN ALLEN Starry eyes and ambitious goals

have disappeared as the second semester freshmen make their way to the campus once again.

Many who came for the sole purpose of an education were not entirely disappointed in their las t semester. Those who came to sse for the usual reasons, mar­riage, sports and parti~s. are now awakened to the fact that the "campus of a thousand magnolias" is in many ways a confusing environment.

Those who were hurried from high school graduation to the in­stitution of higher learning found that some of the warnings they received from parents concerning the "wild college town" were · simply untrue and that Durant is

Campus Custodian Discusses

•

Recalls Riding Horse To School

•

By SCOTT HANCOCK

A man not noticed very much "on the scene" who stays in its shadows and observes while he

• works, just may be one person in .a long chain that keeps a state 'College purring like a piece of

• fine machinery. That's the desc ription of 61-

year-old campus custodian, Jess Robinson, who has accumulated some definite ideas and opinions about education and student unrest in his 18 years at

• Southeastern State College. Along with keeping numerous

rooms and offices spotless in the administration building, Robinson

• lends a helping hand to security as well as offering a clean place for students to educate themselves. He says a sloppy atmosphere tends to encourage students to become tllat way.

Robinson's opinion of student ~mrest goes much further than campus disruption. "Student •m­

. rest is simply world unrest, '' s2\d tbe custodian.

An avid church - goer, Rob-. ioson speculates if people would

come closer to their Maker and not forget what was said in chu~ch once outside the door, much tenston and depression could be relieved by tbe word of God. "Student un­·rest will become a lot worse be­fore it's better."

PICKS UP.,HANDOUTS . . Robinson says SSC hasn't seen

• any real s tudent leftist action, although outside agitators have

•

• appeared on campus distributing llterature. "In fact, many big city students from all over this country have come here to get away from militants interrupting classes and causing campus riots," said Rob­inson.

Being so close to the situation, Robinson believes the four -year state college here will double its attendance within the next 10

·years. "This will happen due to the city's growth of industry and recreational facilities," said the

.Durant native. " Why, sse is already hands and toes above any state college in Oklahoma," in Robinson's proud opinion.

He wasn't always a campus custodian. He became a security officer some six months after one of guards suddenly quit. Af­ter coming back to his primary

· job, he recalls a security guard doesn't have anything over him.

• He must make sure ground floor • windows are shut and locked as

well as a final check of all doors in the administration building are

· lQCked before he goes off his shift.

• BETTER EQUIPPED

Born and raised in Durant, Robinson says 18 yee.rs ago we

• d¥ln't have such good wuL il.iug conditions, not to mE>ntion torl:l y's fringe benefits. "We're. much better equipped to handle students both by furnishing teaching equip­ment and find buildings to house the students," said Robin·

• son . He remembers when he went

to school at the Russell building ·in the northwest corner of the campus. He rode a horse three mlles to school each .. clay across pastureland that is now Vet Village and the new adminis­tration building.

"I used to run on a track field wllere the student union and re­cDeation building now stands."

Robinson's jon has always been in the administration building,

first in Morr ison ha: 1 and now in the new structure "Ad" building. " When I came to work here, there were only seven builf1ingsonSSC's campus," said Robinson .

TORN ADO TROUBI ES

The short, stocky man wasn't always pushing a broom. At the age 12, he was employed with the county driving a horse team that pulled a road grade r. Later, he became a construction worker and finally pounded leather break­ing horses.

He smiled, recalling one of the fi rst wild animals he rode, an "Arkansas steer " that came to a knee-deep ravine and stopped abruptly. throwing Robinson over the animal's horns landing him on the ground.

Robinson was here when a tor­• nado took part of the roof off

Morrison Hall several years ago. Once more, the custodian was in the building when it hit. He said there was so much noise from the roa r of the tornado, he didn't notice the roof had been lifted off until he casually lOOkeJ up.

" Boy, did we have a rough liine fur a ff:!w davs ~tftu that,'' said Rubinson. He s<Jj it rained 'OmP while . the roof was being repai red and seemed like he had

mopped up a river from the floors before the roof was finally re­placed. " That's about the hardest thing I had to cope with whi le working out here. •·

" In th~ last 18h ea rs, I've got along with most e?ryone and en- · JOyed working where I am," said the campus custodian.
