UP Profile
Rogers gives helping hand
By CLYDE HUGHES
UP Managing Editor
Kim Rogers loves life—so much so, in
fact, that she plans to graduate this May,
having completed her degree in three
years.
Her field is deaf education.
“I knew I wanted to be a teacher,”
Rogers said, “and I also wanted to teach
handicapped children. A friend was a deaf
education major here (at Lamar) and
that’s how I got interested.”
Rogers, a 1980 graduate of Texas City
High School, was in the Career Club and in
the Press Club. She is presently president
of the National Student Speech, i Hearing
and Language Association and a member
of the Signing Cardinals.
NSSHLA sponsored Rogers in this year’s
homecoming queen’s competition.
“I love the people here and I love
Lamar,” Rogers said. “I have some
friends here that I wouldn’t trade for the
world.”
Adjusting to college life is a task that
some never get to complete. Sporadic
schedules and lack of knowledge of the
area can often lead to loneliness. This has
not been a problem for Rogers.

“I came down (to Lamar) with several
friends,” Rogers said. “I didn’t have any
problems adjusting. The department and
the professors are great.”
Sometimes in adjusting to leaving home,
the parents are left in worse shape than the
children. Rogers said that her parents
were supportive of her going off to school.
“My parents were real encouraging and
very supportive,” Rogers said. “They
wanted me to go to a junior college for a
couple of ye&rs but they knew I wanted to
get away and meet people. They back me
up in whatever I do.”
The 20-year-old Rogers, who says she
hopes to work on her master’s degree after
graduating in May, is doing clinical work
at Bingman Elementary School. She is
now an interpreter for the North End Bap-
tist Church..
This past, summer, the Lamar deaf
education students held a deaf education
camp in the Golden Triangle.
“That was really a lot of fun,” Rogers
said. “We had them from 8 o’clock in the
morning to 2 p.m. I learned a lot.”
After she gets her graduate work com-
pleted, Rogers said that she would like to
go to another state. “I would like to teach
at a residential school for the deaf for a
couple of years for experience.”
Rogers said next spring she is going to
do her student teaching at Santa Fe State
School for the Deaf in New Mexico.
Rogers said that sign language takes
practice and time, but it will open one to
another world and it is a “beautiful
language.”
Smith wins
DD7 office
Robert A. “Bob” Smith, a Nederland
senior, was elected a commissioner to Jef-
ferson County Drainage District 7 Tues-
day.
Smith, who will graduate in December
with a degree in finance, said, “I want to
thank those at Lamar who voted and I feel
a responsibility to do the best job I can for
the people of the community.”
The 30-year-old refinery worker ran for
the office because “I wanted to get involv-
ed and have input in the community,” he
said.
Smith found out he had won about 1 a.m.
Wednesday by gamering about 14 percent
of the vote. He beat out Robert
Bodemuller, a retired Texaco supervisor,
and Billy Halfin, an ecologist and Mobil
employee.
“I felt elation and relief when I found out
that I had won the election,” Smith said.
“The main thing in my election is that my
brother and friends helped me out. It was a
total team effort.”
Smith, who is married and has a five-
year-old daughter, said flooding is worst in
the Groves and south and east portions of
Port Arthur.
“I plan to do a lot of homework on DD7,”
he said.

Surgeon
requests
leeches
PETALUMA, Calif.
(UPI)—A plastic surgeon is
asking residents to con-
tribute leeches to Petaluma
Valley Hospital to drain
blood from an 11-year-old
girl’s finger so it will not
have to be amputated.
Dr. Michael Tavis said
Thursday the girl, who was
not identified, injured her
finger when a ring caught on
a screen as she ran through
a doorway.
She has already
undergone microsurgery,
but Tavis said that the finger
is swelling and not draining
properly. He hopes the
leeches will help drain the
finger, which Tavis said
otheiTTse his patient might
lose.

Onlyone of these pens
is thin enough
to draw the linebeiow.
It's the extra-fine rolling ball of Pilot's remarkable new Precise Ball Liner
Pen. (If you haven't guessed which one it is, look at the top photo again.
It's the trim beauty on the bottom left.)
But unlike the others, the real beauty of Pilot's Precise Ball Liner is
the extra-fine line it puts on paper. It glides smoothly across the page
because its tiny tungsten carbide ball is held securely within a needle-like
stainless steel collar. A collar that makes the Precise Ball Liner the most
durable, trouble-free rolling ball pen you can buy.
It's letter-writer's joy. An artist's dream.

SSCC to host
Fromholz
By ADRIAN PRETZ
UP fluff writer
Steven Fromholz describes his style of music as “free
form country-western, folk, rock, science fiction, gospel,
gum, bluegrass, opry music.”
A more precise definition would be “good-times” music.
A versatile entertainer, Fromholz's wide range of talent
includes credits as a singer, songwriter, comedian, story
teller, movie actor, lecturer, radio and television personali-
ty and writer.
Sponsored by the Setzer Student Center Council Cof-
feehouse Committee, Fromholz will appear in the SSC
Perch today at 9 p.m. His appearance Is a return engage-
ment, as he entertained 150 people last November.
One of Fromholz’s highest honors was having a day pro-
claimed in his honor by the mayor of Austin, Texas. And, to
contrast his career in the entertainment world, Fromholz
has played the pro-am golf circuit, teaming with celebrities
such as James Garner, Roy Clark and Phil Harris.
Despite his progressive country/comedy style, he has
performed with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. He has
performed at showcase nighclubs all over the country, as
well as the Los Angeles Forum, the Boston Garden, and
Madison Square Garden in New York.
A favorite with Texas audiences, Fromholz was a regular
performer at Willie Nelson's celebrated Fourth of July pic-
nics. He has the distinction of being the only performer to
participate in all four seasons of the Public Broadcasting
System series “Austin City Limits,” for which he wrote the
theme music.
The doors of the Perch are scheduled to open at 8 p.m.
Admission to the show is |1 for Lamar students, faculty and
staff with a valid ID, and $2 for the general public, Laurie
Lee, SSCC Coffeehouse Committee chairperson, said.
