The . 77 No. 1 ConglomenatE Official Publication of the Oldest College West of The Mississippi. Thursday, September 9, 1982 Honorable George Thomas to speak at President's Convocation 2— Isopropylidinehydrazino 2— methylpropionitrile. Ed Hall wonders how it could fit into such a small beaker. New Compound Found Pierre Bellegarde Once again, Centenary College will be making history by having the privilege to receive on its campus one of the greatest speakers of the United Kingdom, the Honorable George Thomas, who will be guest speaker at the President's Convocation which will be held September 16. The President's Convocation is the first convocation held at the beginning of each semester, and according to Dr. Donald Webb, "Its purpose is to launch formally the academic year. It is a time of high moment when the faculty as well as everyone of this community comes together as a whole." The convocation v/ill be very special this year because of the fact that a Doctor of Divinity Degree will be given to speaker Georre Thomas which will a so be an honor for Centenary. Thomas has a very fascinating background. He is known as a very distinguished stateman as well as one of the best Methodist Laymen in the Methodist Church. He has been a member of the British Parliament for almost 40 years, representing Cardiff, the Capitol of Wales. For many years, he has been a leader in the Methodist Church, having served in the highest offices as the Vice-President of the Methodist Conference . As a leading politician, he has been to the White House several times. He has addressed the Presidential Prayer Breakfast and talked with Christians within both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. Congress. As the speaker of the British Parliament, he holds the oldest parliamentary office in existence in the world. He is the number one citizen after her majesty the Queen in the United Kingdom. For several years, he has served in many different offices in the British government. He has been the commonwealth secretary, and has served in the home office. He was secretary of State for Wales during which he was responsible for the invest of Prince Charles. At the Royal Wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, Thomas iniated a first in British history by reading the lessons in St. Paul's Cathedral for a royal wedding. He represented the free churches, the non- conformist churches of the United Kingdom. This will be Thomas's second visit to Centenary, and his program at the President's Convocation will surely be an enriching and enlightening experience. us the at or to by Wiile most of aled away Amer working mdane jobs

Gents without "center" of attention
After climbing within
one victory of the NCAA
post-season tournament
last spring, the
Centenary College
Gentlemen will be
gunning from their
fourth consecutive
winning season, second
Trans America Athletic
Conference title and
first appearance in an
NCAA tournament.
The Gentlemen put
together a very talented
basketball team last
year, but losing
Cherokee Rhone, a fifth-
round draft pick, at
center and Steve
Burkhalter, Mr.
Consistency, at
forward, two key
positions must be
replaced in order for the
Gents to earn a post-
season tournament bid.
Fifth-year head coach
Tommy Canterbury has
three starters returnm*-,
from last year's 17-12
Gents, five returning
lettermen and six small
talented newcomers.
Starters Willie Jackson
[6-6, 200 pound
forward], Napoleon
Byrdsong [5-11, 150
pound point guard] and
Reggie Hurd [6-1, 160-
pound second guard]
are back to give the
Gents one of the best
outside games in the
conference.
Jackson might be the
best all-around player
in college basketball
today. He averaged 23.9
[693 points in 29 games]
points and 9.8 [283
rebounds] rebounds per
game last season and
was voted the "Most
Valuable Player" in the
TAAC and the state of
Louisiana. In addition,
Jackson finished as the
sixth leading scorer in
the nation last year and
will return as the
number three scorer
this year.
Byrdsong is a proven
team leader; and when
the 5-11 sparkplug is
firing, so are the Gents.
Hie point guard from
Longview, Tex., led the
TAAC in assists and set
a new school record
with assists midway
into his junior year. He
currently has
accumulated 452 career
assists and last year

finished 24th in the
nation with a 5.96 per
game average.
Hurd came to
Centenary and really
boosted the offense.
After sitting on the
bench most of the first
half of the season,
Canterbury started
Hurd midway into the
second half, and the
freshman from Dallas
provided the fire-power
the Gents needed
outside. He ended the
season averaging 9.0
points in 28 games.
However, the big
question is who will
replace Rhone [6-9, 225
pounds] at center. For
the past three seasons
Coach Canterbury ' s
center-oriented offense
focused on Rhone. Now,
without a prevailing
man in the middle, the
Gents will be suspect at
center early in the
season.
The Gents have
always been a fast
break team [last year
they finished 29th
nationally with a 76.2
per game average], but
with a starting lineup
that averages only 6-2,
speed and quickness
will be a new dimension
in the Centenary attack.
Consequently, the
Gents are going to have
to ru n as much as they
can to overcome their
shortcomings. They will
start Eric Bonner [6-7]
at center, while junior
college transfer Vance
Hughes [6-5] will take
the early nod at the
small forward slot.
Both players are
small but very quick.
Bonner played in all 29
games last year and
started in seven. He
averaged 4.6 points and
4.1 rebounds per game.
Hughes was a standout
at Henderson County
Junior College and
averaged 11 points and
Behind Bonner is two-
year returning
letterman Greg Smith
[6-8, 210]. Smith played
in 11 games last year
and will provide the
necessary muscle
inside. Smith averaged
1.4 points and 1.4
rebounds per game. Joe
Beaubouef [6-10, 210] is
a fine-looking freshman
who shows a lot of
potential, but who needs
grooming. During his
senior year at Central
High he averaged 22.3
points and 11.2 rebounds
per game.
Although Hughes has
been tabbed as the
starting small forward,
several players could
bid for playing time. In
particular, Albert
Willie Jackson
Thomas, a 6-3 freshman
from Macon, Ga., who
averaged 19 points and
14 rebounds at
Southwest Central High,
could step in and play
immediately.
Eric Woodard, a 6-5
freshman and
teammate of Thomas in
high school, will also
provide good depth at
the forward position.
Woodard averaged 12
points and 10 rebounds
per game. Lorin George
[6-5, 190] has been
moved from the second
guard position to
forward this year. This
move will provide
Canterbury with more
height along with some
excellent long-range
shooting skill. George
averaged 3.1 points per
contest last year.
Napolean Byrdsong
Behind Byrdsong are
two newcomers, Russell
Taylor [6-0, 160] and
Tom Schmidt [6-3, 175],
who will give
Canterbury plenty of
depth at the point guard
position. Both players
are being groomed to
take over when
Byrdsong graduates.
Taylor averaged 10
points and seven assists
per game at Cook
County, J.C., while
Schmidt averaged 13.6
points and 4.3 rebounds
per contest at Belleville
High.
Two returning
lettermen, Rodney
Bailey [6-6, 185] and
Chris Weaver [6-3, 175],
will give Centenary
added depth at the
second guard slot.
Bailey, a junior from
Bossier City, La., ca|
off the bench on sevi
occasions last year
sparked the team
victory. He averaged
points and 1.4 reborn
per game. Weaver,
second year plaj
from Ashland,

games last year,

l 0,0oo. This is an scholarship. r Hioney is invested, and the interest will be awarded to the student every year. The award will basically be $1000 per year. There are three restrictions to the scholarship. First of all, the student must be a major in either geology or petroleum land management. Secondly, he must be an incoming freshman in the top 10 percent of his class. He will continue to receive the award for four years as long as he maintains a 3.0 grade point average. Lastly, financial need will not be the primary consideration. CSCC names new director A young 32-year-old Catholic who speaks German and a little Swahili has been named associate director of the Centenary School of Church Careers. Thomas D. DeVries was named to the position by Centenary College President Donald A. '-'ebb. DeVries, a native of Grand Rapids, Mich., is a summa cum laude graduate of Central College in Pella, Iowa, and New Brunswick Theological Seminary, where he was awarded the Augustus G. Sandham Award for the highest academic standing in the class, an honor he earned for three consecutive years. In 1975, he did graduate work in England and northern Ireland. DeVries has worked in substance abuse and medical centers, the Church, Faith-at-Work Inc., Felician College, and last summer for the Maryland Missioners in Tanzania, East Africa. He comes to Centenary from Orange, New Jersey, where he was member of the Team Ministry for Our Lady of the Valley Parish. An associate director of CSCC, DeVries will supervise the students field education program and coordinate the small group component where students begin to integrate all that they are learning. Student government met Tuesday, September 14 for the first time this semester. Greg Blackman, president of SGA called the meeting to order at 11 a.m. He started by stating that people with budgets should avoid spending much money at this time because most budgets will be cut. SGA's finances will be less because of a drop in full time enrollment. Members are needed for the communication, student life, cafeteria, publicity, and entertainment commit- tees. Interested students should contact an SGA member. Vickie Rice, head of entertainment, discussed upcoming films to be shown in the Sub. Films are on order for a Halloween horror film festival. A motion to nominate faculty advisors was tabled until next week. SGA was asked to take over Homecoming from the alumni. If this happens, Homecoming will be geared totally toward the Students at Centenary. There would be a parade, house decorations, and a dance. The SGA retreat will be held this Saturday, September 18, at the Wren's cabin in Texarkana. The budgets for the media organizations will be discussed. Alyce Boudreaux planned the retreat. They will meet in front of the James Dorm at 12:45 and depart at 1:00. They will return to Centenary Sunday afternoon. The meeting closed with a discussion of goals for this year. SGA will meet at break every Tuesday. Page 2 — THE CENTENARY CONGLOMERATE — Thursday, September 16, 1982 NSF program open WASHINGTON, D C. - The National Research Council will again advise the National Science Foundation in the selection of candidates for the Foundation's program of Minority Graduate Fellowships. Panels of eminent scientist and engineers appointed by the National Research Council will evaluate qualifications of applicants. Final selection of Fellows will be made by the Foundation, with awards to be announced in March 1983. The NSF Minority Graduate Fellowship Program is open only to persons who are citizens or nationals of the United States at the time of application, and who are members of an ethnic minority group underrepresented in the advanced levels of the nation's science talent pool — i.e. American Indian, Native Alaskan [Eskimo or Aleut], Black, Mexican AmericanVeChicano, Puerto Rican, or Native Pacific Islander [Polynesian or Micronesian]. Eligibility is limited to those individuals who, at the time of application, have not completed more than 20 semester hours 30 quarter hours, or equivalent, of study in any of the science and engineering fields listed below following completion of their first baccalaureate degree in science or engineering. Subject to the availabity of funds, new fellowships awarded in the Spring of 1983 will be for periods of three years, the second and third years contingent on certification to the Foundation by the fellowship institution of the student's satisfactory progress toward an advanced degree in science or engineering. These fellowships will be awarded for study or work leading to master's or doctoral degrees in the mathematical, physical, biological, engineering, and social sciences, and in the history and philosophy of science. Awards will not be made in clinical, law, education, or business fields, in history or social work, for work leading to medical, dental, or public health degrees, or for study in joint science-professional degree programs. Applicants will be judged on the basis of ability. The annual stipend for Minority Graduate Fellows will be $6,900 for a twelve- month tenure with no dependency allowances. Applicants will be required to take the Graduate Record Examinations designed to test aptitude and scientific achievement. The examinations, administered by the Educational Testing Service, will be giveon on December 11, 1982 at designated centers throughout the United States and in certain foreign countries. The deadline date for the submission of applications for NSF Minority Graduate Fellowships is November 24, 1982. Further information and a pplica ton materials may be obtained from the Fellowship Office. Where good food is fun! ! I FROZEN YOGURT SANDWICHES SALADS & SOUP 400 McNeil — YMCA 203 E. Kings Hwy. 869-3612 Shreveport, La. SHREVEPORT • RUSTON •BATON ROUGE Wanted: Althea Althea, the unofficial campus dog, who has been the focus of t-shirts and newspaper features, has found trouble with the law. Centenary's own mutt is violating the local law which states that if a dog is not restrained by a leash or fence, even on private property, the dog would be taken to the pound. The Conglomerate learned of this when on Wednesday, September 8th, Centenary student Janie Leach noticed Althea running down Rutherford Street. Curious as to why Althea was running, Leach called for her. The only response from Althea was a short pause followed by a wag of her tail. Realizing what was happening, Leach began to stall the dog catcher who was pursuing Althea. When asked why he was chasing Althea, he said that she was violating the leash law and that "we have to do what the city tells us to do." During this discussion, Althea was able to escape. When the dog catcher saw that Althea had run away, he stated, 'Til get her yet!" According to David Bentley, bookstore manager, Althea was being kept inside a fence for a few days by a neighborhood family. This is almost impossible because the dog can jump over five foot fences. Bentley stated that people had been calling the Bookstore from all over Shreveport about Althea. "I don't know what's going to happen," said Bentley. for adoption. When asked if the dogs were put to sleep if not adopted, the reply was "after so long. . well we pick up 30 a day.

she works closely with
computers, Poole learns
exactly how things are
done, and she believes
that this knowledge will
be a definite boost for
her when the she enters
the job market after
leaving Centenary.
Craig Coleman,
another work-study
participant, is working
for the second year in
the school's bookstore
and post office.
Coleman enjoys the
informality of both, but
emphasizes that "we
must do our jobs, work
with each other, and get
along.' ' Coleman says
that two good things
about the job are
meeting people and
helping to solve their
problems [like lost mail
or what books they
need]. Like Carol Poole,
Coleman appreciates
the fact that his job
supervisors "view
Centenary as your
business,' , unlike the
boss of an off-campus
job, who would put his
own business first.
Carlos Munoz has
held many on-campus
jobs on the college work
program, including
positions in the Hurley
music library, the
English Language
Center, and as a Dorm 1
daddy. Currently, he is I
employed by|
Centenary's own
Magale Library, where
he has worked for two
and a half years.
Working in the library
has given Munoz an
extensive familiarity
with the library's
resources, or in his
words, has provided
him "a head start as far
as finding where books
are located, or how to
find them." He
recommends that
students try and find
jobs related to their
major for the practical
experience it could
nrovide.
developing his patience
and keeping material he
studied some time ago
still fresh as he reviews
how to set up and apply
equations with his
students. One of the
most rewarding aspects
of work is watching as
those he helps pull their
grades way up. As far
as how his tutoring will
affect his future, Irvine
asserts that the
experience "will help in
anything involving the
presentation of facts."

Finally, even on a
campus the size of
Centenary's there is
always room for private
enterprise, as Alan
Irvine can attest. Two
years ago as a
sophomore, Alan Irvine
realized that there was
a demand for tutors in
chemistry and
advanced algebra.
Unlike the work-study
or college work
programs, Irvine can
charge more than
minimum wage, and
can work whenever and
wherever is convenient
for him. He credits

Daddying, writing

Magale, Hurley or with

ingenious enough to
come up with a money-
making scheme of your

Let us Hear
From You
Got a special interest
you'd like to read
about? Starting next
week, check The
Conglomerate to see if
we might just be writing
about it. A series of
columns to treat just
such interests will
follow.
These columns will
handle specific subjects
of interest to small
audiences. Each week
we'll feature a different
author writing on a
different subject. Each
author will appear only
once every month or
two, giving them plenty
of time to hear from you
and gear their column
to what you want to see
in it. So send The
Conglomerate your
interests, your
comments and your
questions. Most
important, read the
ones that appeal to you,
and look over the
others.

Alcohol on campus
whose decision is it?
1982
You are invited to
express your views
concerning Centenary
policies, or local,
national or
international issues.
For years the
students of Centenary
have refused to confront
the administration with
the issue of allowing
alcoholic beverages on
the college campus. In
doing so, the students
are giving their tacit
approval for the
administration to
continue this policy.
The basis for this
policy is that Centenary
is a private institution
funded primarily by the
Methodist Church. In
the first Rotary dorm
meeting, this fall, Jeff
Teter, the resident
director, specifically
stated that alcohol is not
allowed on campus
simply because the
Methodist ministers do
r
not want it allowed on
campus. What gives the
Methodist Church the
right to set policy
governing the students
private lives? The days
of the in loco parentis
[in the place of parents]
method of setting policy
are over.
The fact remains that
the Methodist ministers
refuse to abide by their
own policy. At the
Methodist Ministers
Conference this past
summer alcoholic
beverage containers
littered the dorms
where they stayed. The
maintenance crew
actually looks forward
to working inside the
dorms after these
conferences because
many times the
ministers leave their
unfinished bottles
behind. These are the
same people who
hypocritically deny

While continually harassing students ove r the issue, they knowingly allow the fraternities to keep kegs of beer in the cafeteria cooler. Not only are the Methodist ministers hypocritical in setting this policy, the administration is just as hypocritical in enforcing it. How long will this charade continue? We believe that the majority of students at this college who drink do so responsibly. In fact, they have been doing so as long as we have been here. If enough students expressed the willingness to have this policy changed, it can be changed. Isn't it time we did something about it 9 Allison A. Bailes III Chuck Weber Letter From The Editor
asT™Alu lumni Relations has been responsible for Homecoming, an event held each year, centered around a basketball game, in honor of our illustrious alumni. Alumni Relations wants to give to our SGA responsibility of organizing and financing Homecoming this year. If the SGA takes this responsibility, our student fees will be paying for an event ideally for the alumni, but realistically for the students. However, if the SGA does not take responsi- bility for the Home- coming, due to budget cuts there may not be a Homecoming at all. If any student wishes to express his or her voice, either talk to your class senator or express your feelings through a letter to the Conglomerate.

wtt j boundary line of some . a ck subastance ? ssl «rfdes the land an V between the men and women tribes, clearly marking off what land each set of tribes rules. This boundary line, along with other outcroppings of this black rock, forms the centerpiece of their religion, possibly being a representation of their deity. Not only do they present offerings of metal vehicles to it, but they go to great lengths to prevent any defacement of it. Just recently they went to great expense to cover up some hideous white and yellow markings that some rival sect had painted all over it. This deity must be some kind of earth god. Not only do they have small islands of earth in the center of its representation [offerings or temples perhaps], but they also take great pains to keep fine earth all around it, keeping this loose packed earth finely raked and smoothed despite the infidels who leave footprints all through it. What they do when rainstorms wash it all away I have not yet seen. I feel certain that these people are the descendants of some tribe that mirgrated here ages past from the arctic regions for they Open Ear keep all their dwelling places cooled to almost sub-zero temperatures.

The club will have its iniations in October. The highlight of Monday's meeting was the lecture given by Robert Frey, professor of geology here at Centenary. Mr. Frey will receive his doctorate in geology next summer and has already published two new species of fossils. He finds geology a fulfilling career because it is fun, interesting, and much of his own personal interpretation is involved. He studies Paleo-ecology which requires knowledge from all divisions of geology. His dissertation is a study of a shale unit in southwestern Ohio and eastern Indiana. He showed samples of the different limestones and claystones of the shale unit he studied. The name of the shale unit is Treptoceras Dus^ri. Page 6 — THE CENTENARY CONGLOMERATE — Thursday, September 16, 1982 Raitt headlines performance John Raitt, one of a Raitt is a most handful of performers ever to play to sold-out audiences in Shreveport, has agreed to return here in an entirely new role for the Shreveport Symphony this season. The Broadway singing star who appeared in three touring stage musicals at the Civic Theatre in the 1970s has been signed as soloist for one of the Shreveport Symphony subscription seasons's "Pops" concerts. He is scheduled for the "Broadway to Shreveport" pair of "Pops" programs next March 12-13 under the baton of Margery Deutsch, the orchestra's associate conductor. When Raitt played to SRO audiences here in Lerner & Lowe's "Camelot" he joined an exalted company of artists who have filled the Civic Theatre — Van Cliburn, Beverly Sills, Ferrante and Teicher, and Shreveport's own Centenary College Choir. He also has starred here in "Carousel" the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical vhich catapulted the baritone to Broadway stardom, and a national production of Shenandoah," which played Shreveport .iiead of its State Fair of Texas engagement at Fair Park Music Hall in Dallas. notable addition to the ranks of pop concert soloists which includes such stellar screen performers as Jane Powell, Anna Maria Alberghetti, and Gordon McRae. The baritone became the top male star of the musical stage in the late forties and early fifties via his brilliant portrayals in two of Broadway's biggest hits, "The Pajama Game" and "Carousel." He co-starred with Doris Day in the motion picture version of "The Pajama Game" and with Mary Martin in the TV special of Irving Berlin's "Annie Get Your Gun." Other major credits include u Zorba," "The Music Man," "Oklahoma! and "I Do! I Do!" The Shreveport Symphony's 1982-83 season of 10 pairs of concerts will begin on Sept. 25-26 with violinist Oscar Shumsky as soloist and Paul Strauss conducting. Other soloists include Panayis Lyras, the Silver Medal winner of the 1981 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, cellist Of ray Harnoy, violinist Zina Schiff, pianists Constance Knox Carroll and Kathy Selby, soprano Claudette Peterson, and the McLain Family Band booked fro the orchestra's second "Pops" program on December 18-19. Starving student Native Shreveporters and those students returning to Centenary need no introduction to Strawn's, but students new to this area may not be familiar with what has become something of an institution here in Shreveport. Strawn's, located on King's Highway just across from campus, is open from 6:00 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The fact that this small restaurant is always crowded tells much about the popularity of Gus' sandwiches and daily Hot Plate Lunch [$2.60] among local businessmen and students. However, Strawn's most popular offering is undoubtedly the fresh strawberry pie. The pies — peach or strawberry [90 cents a slice] and chocolate, coconut, or lemon [80 cents a slice] — are always good, although not all flavors are available every day. When we last visited Strawn's our bacon and cheese club sandwich [$2.25] and French fries [75 cents] were very good, but one of my companions complained that his grilled cheese sandwich was just a little too greasy. The french fries are excellent, though — crisp julienee fries that are piping hot and crunchy. A good time to consider Strawn's is for Saturday morning. There are quite a few students who like to sleep late then stroll over to Strawn's for their late morning breakfast. Breakfast prices range from 30 cents for toast to $1.90 for a full breakfast of 2 eggs, toast and bacon, ham or sausage. Hash browns [75 cents] are also a favorite any time of day. The waitresses are accustomed to seeing Centenary students and even know many of them by name, so Strawn's is a favorite place for the college crowd in seach of — FOOD! Japanese exhibit at Meadows In the past 100 years America and Japan have been busily learning from each other — the Japanese to appreciate machines and the Americans to appreciate beauty. As Americans have based their special culture on machines and the power that they give, the Japanese have developed their culture on appreciation oi nature and beauty.

Blanchard plays trumpet and Harrison saxophone. The remaining Messengers are Bill Pierce on tenor saxophone, James Williams on piano and Charles Fambrough on bass. Art Blakely, famed drummer, was enlisted into the Messengers by Horace Silver in 1955. With Silver's departure from the group in 1956 Blakey became the leader.

Letters must be receiv before 7:30 p.m. Sunday. We here at the Con- glomerate are confused. One week we receive an article from Hamilton Hall saying "Our goal was to increase the number of full time undergraduate students and we have done that." The next week we receive word from the SGA that ". . .most budgets will be cut. SGA's finances will be less because of a drop in full time enrollment M It seems somebody somewhere goofed and we would like tc know where. A call to Centenary's Office of Admissions confirmed an increase in full time undergraduate enroll- ment. Where did SOA get the figures? Why were they not the cor- rect figures?

ith a little researchfito specific plants' light requirements, and careful attention to catering, it is possible. In the long run, this ligence is easier, more tisfying, and cheaper continually buying ones. .„ i Your dorm room ighting is the over- iding determinant of vhat you can grow. If ou don't have enough ght, that's it. While a lant may initially look ood in a dark, bare iorner, it won't survive. P >lants need light to nake their own food; " low much light depends j^ipon the kind of plant ~ rou have. Find out
»fore you buy .p J£ Artificial light is not early as strong as you C night think. A brightly rp lluminated room is only VlOOth as bright as a I jinny summer day. Even light through a south-facing window is only V 2 as bright, y 4 with a screen. Should you crowd plants against a sunny window? Only if you like them fried. Glass lets most wavelengths of light in but allows only a few out. The remainder create heat [this is how greenhouses work] that can cook plants. Plants requiring lots of light, then, are poor choices for dorm cultivation. Your best bets are plants with lots of dark-green foliage, as these are usually most efficient in utilizing low light intensities. A few worth mentioning are snake plant, trailing vines such as wandering Jew and philodendrons, weeping figs [even tree size] and African violets. The last are some of the few plants that will flower indoors on a regular basis. Another factor to consider in moving plants to the dorm is their previous location. If they came from a sunny nursery or humid hothouse, the shock of your dorm room may be too much to overcome — the environmental shift is too drastic. If possible, your plants should come from conditions similar to those of your dorm room. After light, water is the most critical factor in dorm plant survival. Too little leads to death and too much leads to death. Failure to monitor soil moisture will inevitably lead to too much or too little water. Do not try to water plants on a regular schedule. An actively growing plant uses more water than a dormant one; a plant in summer uses more than a plant in winter; a plant in direct sun uses more than one in shade; a plant in a warm room uses more than one in a cool room ; a plant in a clay pot uses more than one in a plastic one, and a plant in a dry room uses more ture m eat WlH •nChii* .

Willingham, all ;peratd° ne ' time English glimriP rofessors at ecret j|Centenary, co-edited hey e^ e Handbook of Critical ]rk whl^ pproaches to r one [Literature. Around 1970, ons Uthese same four collaborators decided to rorepare a
companionpiece to their .first work-an anthology n .[that is, a collection of en different types or h Ve I genres of literature] phased on their t0 'Handbodk. This ideaevolved into what students of today's English 201 course FneU recognize as Mandala: 3 Literature for Critical aal l Analysis. By 1979, the Handbook--"HCAL" as the editors affectionately call it- had passed the 100,000 sales mark here and abroad, and was in its second edition. Now it was time to think of revising Mandate. But the revision never materialized. Sales had been good, but some readers were evidently mystified by the title. Mandala is the Sanscrit word for ''circle," and suggests the unifying integrity of great literature. It is also associated, like the Circle and the Square, with the number "Four"; it was therefore an especially appropriate title for an anthology with four editors dealing with the four major literary genres. Even so, Harper and Row wanted a less esoteric title. As a result, Dr. Labor had an idea for a completely new anthology, which he had even tentatively entitled Literature and Interpretive techniques- -or simply, "L.I.T." By this time [fall of 1980', Drs. Guerin and Willingham had left Centenary's English department [to assume positions as LSU in Shreveport, and at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansa. respectively], but were enthusiastic about working on the new book. Incoming professors Dr. Michael Hall and Dr. Barry Nass were also interested in the project, and brought the total number of editors to six. The collaborators decided that their new book should be "an anthology of fiction, poetry, and drama that emphasizes traditional interpretive techniques presented to the student through a highly integrated series of introductions to each genre, notes for each selection, and appendices featuring a glossary of critical terms and a guide to writing the literary essay." In December of 1980, five of the six editors presented the idea to Phillip Leininger, the College Editor of Harper and Row Publishers, who gave them the "go- ahead"for the project. During the summer of 1981, work on LIT. really got underway. Drs. Hall and Nass received a summer grant from the Centenary Alumni Association which permitted them to begin compiling the new anthology This involved collecting new pieces not included in Mandala, and writing introductions to the various genres, and headnotes for each author. Samples of this preliminary work, plus a prospectus [or plan for what the rest of the book would include] were sent to Harper and Row, who had them evaluated by about 50 English professors at major colleges and universities around the country. The response was so positive that the publishers sent a substantial ad ance as well as a contract to the editors. At present, the editors are working feverishly to finish the manuscript this fall. Though their work schedule has been complicated by Dr. Nass's departure for a teaching position at C.W. Post Center of Long Island University, the six are hoping that the book will be released by Chrismast of 1983. Dr. Labor comments that that "would be the nicest gift Santa Claus could bring to the six of us!" It would also be a nice gift for Centenary, because its reputation as a college where teaching and scholarship go hand in hand would be further enhanced Back to School i 2 ■ «'s back-to-school

FOR SALE Full Size Refrigerator $150.00 [Cheap] David Langston 869-5585 Based on the same 1933 French murder case that inspired Jean Genet's 'The Maids", it centers on the lives of Lea and Christine, two servant sisters attached to the Danzard household. The Danzards, mother and daughter, are models of petit bourgeois idleness and severity, while the sisters are psychological, if not actual, prisoners in their stifling, hermetically enclosed world. Under the suffocating weight of the Danzards' authority, cramped in dark attic living- quarters, and cut off from any communication with their employers by the rigid lines of class distinction, Lea and Christine have only each other. Lea, who enters service at 16, comes to depend on Christine almost totaly. Christine is at once jealous of Lea's innocent, sensual beauty. Page 4— THE CENTENARY CONGLOMERATE — Thursday, September 30, 1982 ..Editor's note: The views expressed in this column do not reflect the views of the Centenary Conglomerate, but rather of, and only of, the author[s] of the column. A new Centenary Dr. Loyless, in his article about "pride of place", is certainly on the right track, but he does not go far enough. The new road, parking lots, and tennis courts could be only the beginning of a new Centenary. We should abolish all classes as the next step in the beau tifi cation program. We should keep the faculty and some students though, in order to maintain the illusion of Centenary's being a college. The result of doing these things would be to make more money available for the important parts of a college, like rose gardens and pretty buildings. Doing away with classes would surely be the most beneficial action ever taken at Centenary. The college does not exist to educate people, as some foolish people seem to believe it does. It only exists to give our ultraconservative, wealthy donors the illusion that some good remains in the world. Abolishing classes would also be best for the students and faculty. Those students who want an education would go elsewhere, while those who want to share in Centenary's new glory would be relieved of the pressures of studying The C entenary CQNGL OMERA TE Bonnie Brown Editor Leigh Weeks Warren Morales Assistant Editor Business Manager News Editor Jackie Pope Features Editor Bess Robinson Entertainment Editor Carole Powell Sports Editor Kim Staman Layout Editor Mindy Dunn Layout staff Rachel Fugatt, Mike Fertitta Treasure Thomas Ad Manager Marcie Bryant Reporters. . .

The professors would be free of ungodly workloads they now have and could also be more pleasant. We would have to keep the faculty and some of the students since we still want to look like a college. The faculty's most important job in the new Centenary would be marching in the convocations, and without all of the work it now has, perhaps that duty could be increased to two or three times per semester. The students who remain would have to be chosen very carefully., Of course we don't want the ugly ones. We need beautiful people to match our beautiful campus. We don't want too many of the Greeks either because they drink too much. And we certainly don't want the radicals who complain about everything. We need students who are beautiful, who smile all the time, and who do whatever they are told to do. Imagine the benefits of such changes. The administration would never again have to worry about being embarrassed. In this day of Ronald Reagan's spiritual revival, we would be the pride of conservatives everywhere. We could run national advertisements and collect millions of dollars from donors all over the nation. Just think of the rose gardens we could have then. Allison A. Bailes III Dr. Webb: True Friend FRANKLY SPEAKING On Thursday, September 23, Centenary Greeks met with Dr. Webb in Kilpatrick Auditorium. Though many were unsure as to what the meeting would be about, curiosity won out, and there was standing room only by the time Dr. Webb began speaking. The president of the college seemed truly regretful that the meeting had to take place at all. What he had to speak about was the fact that some Greeks seem to have lost sight of their founding principals. There had been some trouble at the beginning of this semester — complaints from residents around Washington Street, trouble with the police, and general animosity be tween f ra terni ties . What Dr. Webb attempted to do was instill in Greeks the importance of doing what fraternities and sororities are supposed to do, and that is do our best to benefit the college and community, not alienate ourselves from them through irresponsible behavior. Though in some ways the meeting was meant to be a reprimand to the Greeks, it was also a necessary push from behind to get Greeks back on the right track. Few Greeks can deny that it was necessary. Dr. Webb was not saying that Greeks have been completely irresponsible or harmful. He was saying . . phil frank that people are more apt to remember bad things rather than good things, so the Centenary Greek system needs to work harder to stress our service-oriented founding principles. We cannot let the b_ cups laying around on Washington Street be a symbol of what Greeks are. Dr. Webb has proven himself a true friend of the Greeks by showing his concern for our reputation. We greatly appreciate his concern, and thank him for his encouragement. Go Greeks ! Written for the Centenary Greek Council By Sissy McNeely Greatest Gift: The Greeks One of the most controversial organizations on campus as of lately seems to be our greek System, as I'm sure you are all aware, Dr. Webb called a meeting today [Thursday, September
- of all the Greek
sororities and
fraternities to discuss
their "reputation on
campus". As you may
have guessed, that
reputation is not a very
good only. Dr. Webb
began by stating how
ready he was to receive
the Greeks and that
when they finally did
arrive, it*%. was
disasterous.
Destruction of property,
police action and
complaints from the
city were many of the
disappointments he
voiced. He threatened
everything from the
judicial board to pulling
charters, claiming that
FRANKLY SPEAKING
CRIATIVF MfcDIA StRVICtS Box S955 Berkeley CA 9470S
the fraternitites and
sororities added nothing
to this college.
In many ways, Dr.
Webb does have a point.
There have been many
events that have
certainly been less than
honorable and those are
the very events of which
Dr. Webb is speaking. It
is important to realize
that the Greek system
certainly does not look
with pride on these
events? In fact, we are
quite ashamed of them
and that is not what we
feel Greek life is all
about.
Greek like has its own
place on campus. And,
at the risk of
disagreeing with Dr.
Webb, contributes a
tremendous amount to
this college. They
contribute in their
activities on campus.
There are Greek
members in every
aspect of Centenary life
from resident
assisstants to Students
Government
Association members to
the Presisdent's own
advisory council. One
glance at the Dean's
List reveals the
majority of these
students are Greek and
most of the students
leaders on campus are
Greek.
The Greek system
does contribute greatly
to this campus but not in
monetary ways as Dr.
Webb would maintain.
This was noted in
several examples given
by Dr. Webb on how the
Greeks would
contribute to the
college. These included
a cement chair which
could be donated by
each of the fraternities
and the sororities to *he
college as well as
fountains which could

also be donated.

President Webb mo ; prompted to take this action because of the ly cha es of some ° tne most respected authorities on *oulrf JF" education n the country. The main problem test gi a wnicn tnese groups identified in the curricula /e American colleges and universities was general lege cat i° n > a term tnat does not lend itself to easy e Gre[ inition. Indeed, over the years, definitions have lg j u n not only diverse and comprehensive; they e also been contradictory. It is interesting, fever, that disagreements often centered more lheld w h a t a j ms 0 f general education were than at subjects should be included. 'he educational philosophers who have studied s picture have not recommended general ucation for nostalgic or antiquarian reasons, ley have recommended it because the particular tivation of intellect, body, and spirit which it ]ouses produces better vocational and Sessional human beings, better scientists and hnicians, better specialists of all kinds — better ause balanced and broad. n the 1960's, Centenary, responding to what was to be sound curricular practice, reduced its core juirements from 60 hours to approximately 36. ti^ some ^"ty y™ later ' man y feel that thatuction was drastic in kind and degree and that to the aims that we deem important, the core ven ™ s to be broader, more intentional, more
P e tyoseful, and more prescriptive.

Degree and the Core Curriculum Students working toward the B.M. degree are required to complete at least 3 hours or one 3-hour course from each of the divisions of the core curriculum. Three-two Programs and the Core Curriculum Three-two students are required to take 12 hours from each major division of the core, and all of the general college requirements with the exception of one Interim. In order to show the connection among all branches of learning and to prevent such a heavy course requirement in a great number of disciplines, PAHCCS is recommending a two- semester, ten-hour course in General Education, listed under the English Department. The course would include the regular six hours in English grammar and composition plus an additional four hours in interdisciplinary studies with readings, lecturers from other departments, demonstrations, performances, and films. Writing assignments would derive from these components. Students would write a research paper in each semester, and the course would be organized so that either semester could be taken first. No student should graduate from college without at least one literature course. To that end, English 201, Introduction to Literature, or some other advanced English or American literature course, is required of all students. In keeping with the original intention of the January Interim program, to broaden and enrich students' academic and cultural experiences, six hours of Interim credit are required of all students. The Greek ideal of a sound mind in a sound body is the principal rationale for the restoration of physical education to the general curriculum. Core Curriculum for B.A. and B.S. Candidates Requirements in the major divisions of the curriculum are being strengthened across the board to correct the previous inadequacies in these areas. Every scholarly survey and analysis made in this country over the past decade has recommended upgrading college and university requirements in mathematics and the sciences. PAHCCS is proposing changes which broaden and deepen subject matter coverage. Similarly, in the social sciences, the aim has been to expose students formally to more disciplines than in the past. History not only informs human beings of their origins and chronological activity; it provides one indispensable perspective from which You outfit to be in pictures Yoncopin staff photographers will be taking yearbook pictures Monday October 4 through Friday October 8. Individual student shots as well as group student make-ups will be taken. For any additional information, contact Todd Moore, editor of the Yoncopin. to view all subject matter. Thus, the increase in the history requirement seems easily justifiable. As in the case of mathematics and the sciences, the humanities have been identified as curricular areas in serious need of additional requirements. The Carnegie Reptrt, the Rockefeller Commission on the Humanities, the Chronicle of Higher Education, findings of individuals universities ie.HI, Why We Made Tulane Tougher] and professional organizations [e.g., the Modern Language Association], and countless editorials and articles in the most respected magazines and newspapers in the country — all have noted with alarm the aedine of humanities studies and have concluded that they must be increased as requirements for college education. Agreeing with their many arguments and recognizing further the fundamental nature of the humanities in any liberal arts curriculum, PAHCCS recommends a year of foreign language study [or proficiency at the first- year level] and a broadening of the requirements in the fine arts, religion, and or philosophy analogous to that in the social sciences. B.M. Candidates aiid the Core The Hurley School of Music in effect a conservatory, and the Bachelor of Music degree is a professional degree as opposed to a liberal arts degree. It is altogether proper that students in this program be permitted to concentrate their course work in music. Within the constrictions of their professional education, however, they are required to take those general college courses required of all students plus some work in each of the divisions. Three-two Programs and the Core The requirements of the various three-two programs contain only slightly reduced general college and core requirements since students in these programs ultimately receive a B.A. degree from Centenary. While the proposed new core and general college requirements represent a substantial increase in the hours a student must take at Centenary, they do not vitiate a student's concentration in his major or overburden him with more hours than are customarily found in a typical undergraduate program. This is consistent with what the PAHCCS committee perceived as its charge: to review the curriculum at Centenary College in the light of present faculty opinion and the findings of distinguished educational panels and task forces and to make recommendations to President Webb that would strengthen the general education curriculum of the College. The President would then take the procedural action he deemed appropriate. SGA allocates SGA's budget was decided on last weekend at the SGA retreat. The total 1982-83 budget is $74,201.14.

Their salaries will be the same, but there will be increases in the cost of the book. The major reason for the increase is that color is going to be used this year. The business office asked that color be added since they use the yearbook as a recruiting too. Yearbook companies' prices have also increased. A recommendation will be made in the near future about the yearbook's budget. Open Ear 869-1228 THE ONtVJEfcSifY iwr COM CfcWfcO u]lTH PHT" what yoO Smoke ; WHUfc VOU UUC WMom Sbo uvt vJ»m, .
