presented with the Sue Shelley Sutherland
Award Saturday night at the Mid-
American Panhellenic Association Con-
ference in Dallas, Jacque Placette, direc-
tor of student organizations and
Panhellenic adviser, said.
Kathy Wyrick, Lamar Panhellenic
president, represented Lamar in receiving
the award from Sutherland, Greek adviser
at Indiana State University (Terre Haute,
Ind.), who also conceived the idea for the
association conference.
The purpose of the award is to recognize
Panhellenics in the 15-state region for ex-
cellence in inter-Greek and inter-sorority
campus and community affairs.
The conference sponsored awards in
three categories, based on size, and Lamar
won in the first category, Placette said.
The conference reading committee
selected the winners by reading the ap-
plications sent to them.
The award was based on work done in
the Panhellenic organization last year,
Placette said. Items mentioned in the
award consideration included the increase
in membership in the Panhellenic
organization; the Christmas Tree-
Trimming Party sponsored last semester;
council retreats, which included internal
leadership development; the etiquette
seminar; the Silver Celebration; and a
statewide survey concerning Greek rush
that was completed and sent back to the
schools that were surveyed, along with
comments about rush.

Lamar has taken steps to help
graduating high school students adversely
affected by changes in social security
regulations, Dr. W. Richard Hargrove,
dean for academic services, said Wednes-
day.
Qualified 18-year-olds who are not
enrolled in college on or before May 1,
1982, will not be eligible throughout their
undergraduate years to receive benefits.
“The students can register on April 27 to
begin an early summer schedule of classes
in order to meet the May 1 deadline,”
Hargrove said.
There is a special application form and a
pre-registration form which must be com-
pleted and returned to Elmer Rode, dean
of admissions and records.
Sixty-five high schools have received the
application and pre-registration forms,
Hargrove said.
The early classes will meet twice a week
for 80 minutes per class period. Hargrove
said that Lamar expects to have 150-200
students participate in the program, which
would create eight classes.
“We have had a large number of in-
quiries, but we will have to wait and see
exactly how many students sign up for the
program,” Hargrove said.
Shmider to appear as guest soloist
Lamar’s Dr. Edward Shmider, violinist
and assistant professor of music, will ap-
pear as soloist with the Beaumont Sym-
phony Orchestra March 25 at 8 p.m. in the
Beaumont Civic Center.
Thursday’s concert will be the last of the
BSO’s 1981-82 season, BSO music director
Dr. Joseph Carlucci, professor of music,
said.
Carlucci and the orchestra will open the
concert with an orchestral transcription
by Leopold Stokowski of the Toccata and
Fugue in D minor for Organ by J.S. Bach.
Shmider will perform four works of
varying styles and tempo. During the first
half of the program, he will play the
Adagio in E major for Violin and Or-
chestra by Mozart and the Polonaise
Brillante in D major by Wieniawski.
After intermission he will play the
Romance No. 2 in F major by Beethoven
and the brilliant Zigeunerweisen (Gypsy
Airs) by Sarasate.
During the second half of the program
the orchestra will offer the symphonic
poem “Les Preludes” by Franz Liszt.
Shmider’s appearance for the BSO is be-
ing sponsored by the White House and Gus
Mayer stores of Beaumont.

this is the final concert of the year, in-
dividual tickets will also be available for

Spring jazz concert scheduled Friday

“Don is one of the top reed men in the
world. He has played and written for
Maynard Ferguson,” Simmons said. “This
is one concert that is a must for jazz fans.
If they miss this one, they have missed the
best that may ever be here.”
Menza has also worked with Buddy
Rich, Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, Henry
Mancini and Burt Bacharach.
The 19-member “B” band, under the

Earn over $1000 a Month
Just to Finish College!
If you're majoring in
Math, Physics or Engineering, the Navy has a
Program You Should Know About.
It’s called the Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate Program
(NUPOC for short) and if you qualify, you can earn as much as
$1000 a month right through your senior year. Then after 16 weeks
of Officer Candidate School, you’ll receive an additional year of ad-
vaced technical education. This would cost you thousands of $$$ in
a civilian school, but in the Navy, we pay you.
During that year of training, you’ll receive a $27,000 salary. It isn’t
easy. There are fewer than 400 openings and only one of every six
applicants will be selected. But if you make it, you’ll have
qualified for an elite engineering graining job program with une-
qualled hands-on responsibility, a $40,000 salary in four years, and
gilt-edged qualifications for jobs in private industry should you
decide to leave the Navy later.
(But we don’t think you’ll want to).
