Texas meets training demand—
State board okays new master’s
degree in engineer management
A new master’s degree in engineer-
ing under proposal for the College of
Engineering has been approved by
the state coordinating board.
The program, in which students
may seek a master’s degree in
engineering management, is designed
to fill an educational gap that exists
between the technical masters’
degrees in engineering and the
relatively broad master of business
administration degree currently of-
fered by Lamar’s Colleges of
Engineering and Business, Dr. Fred
Young, college dean, said
The proposal was approved last
week in Austin.
Engineers in their first 10 years of
experience who are seeking training
in the management of technology and
technical personnel are expected to
make up most of the enrollment.
The only similiar program in Texas
is a master of engineering ad-
ministration program, offered by
Southern Methodist University in
Dallas. Although demand exists for
engineers with advanced training in
technical management, the need is
largely unmet by engineering schools
in Texas, Young said.
The College of Engineering Ad-
visory Council, a local group made up
of representatives from business and
industry in Southeast Texas, has
issued its support to the new degree
plan. Young said.
“The College of Engineering Ad-
visory Council reviewed the program
very carefully, and their response
was enthusiastic,”' he said. “The
council said it was something very
much in demand in this area, par-
ticularly by practicing engineers.”
Young said the degree will be of-
fered for the first time in Fall 1983.
“We still have some courses to add to
our inventory,” he said, “but the new
plan is scheduled to be offered in the
fall."
More information about the
master’s in engineering management
degree plan can be obtained by calling
Young’s office at 838-8741.
Frisbee fun—

Series group
to host Capps
Dr. Randall Capps, assistant to the president at Western
Kentucky University, will appear as part of the University
Lecture Series Thursday at 11 a.m. in Spindletop Room,
Gray Library, Dr. Ralph Wooster, committee chairman,
said.
Capps’ lecture is entitled “General Motors’ Quality of
Work Life Program.”
The lecture is based on Capps’ findings after spending a
year on sabbatical leave to research organizational com-
munication. The research was completed at General
Motors Corporate Headquarters.
Capps will discuss GM’s approach to Japanese manage-
ment’s use of Quality Circles to improve productivity,
Wooster said.
Capps has done post-doctoral study at Vanderbilt
University. He completed his doctorate at University of
Virginia.
Capps received his master’s degree at Western Ken-
tucky University and his bachelor’s degree at Kentucky
Wesleyan College.
Presently assistant to the president at Western Ken-
tucky, Capps has served as head of the department of
communication and theatre (after the department merg-
ed with mass communication), head of the department of
speech and theatre and assistant professor of English and
speech.
He began his career as a high school English and speech
teacher.
Capps has received several recognitions and awards
such as an award for outstanding contribution to research
and publication in 1978, faculty research grants in 1976
and 1977, and is listed in Who’s Who in the South and
Southwest.
He has served on numerous faculty boards and commit-
tees. Capps has also published eight books and about 12 ar-
ticles.
Capps is a member of six associations which include the
International Communication Association, Speech Com-
munication Association and state and regional speech
associations.
He is past president of Kentucky Association of Com-
munication Arts, a member of the Commission on
American Parliamentary Procedure and Phi Delta Kappa
(past president of Western Kentucky chapter).
“We believe Dr. Capps’ presentation will be of interest
to those concerned with increasing American productivi-
ty,” Wooster said.
The lecture series is open to all faculty and staff. There
is no admission fee.
KVLU-FM to honor black history
through highlighting Afro heritage
Performances by jazz vocalist Betty Carter,
trumpeter Jonah Jones, and baritone William
Warfield will highlight National Public Radio’s
seventh annual celebration of Black History
Month.
Three one-hour programs, dedicated to the
diverse musical heritages of Afro-Americans,
can be heard on member station KVLU-FM
(91.3) on Fridays at noon, beginning Feb. 4.
“Afro-Americans have made vital contribu-
tions that have benefited the country as a
whole,” Donna Limerick, producer of the series,
said. “Our month-long salute to black culture
will acknowledge those individuals and their
lasting impact on all Americans.”
In the first program, Jones recalls the excite-
ment of the Big Band era and describes his early
days playing on Mississippi riverboats with such
greats as Jimmy Lunceford, Fletcher Hender-
son, Benny Carter and Cab Calloway. Featured
will be rare recordings of “The B-H Boogie,”
“Echoes of Harlem” and “Baubles, Bangles and
Beads.”
On Feb. 11, Carter’s talent is featured. Known
as the Queen of Be-Bop, her vocal style has left
an indelible mark on jazz. “I didn’t plan on being
a singer,” Carter said. “I don’t have a trained
voice—it’s more of a sound.” She will perform
such favorites as “Moonlight in Vermont” and
“Can We Be Friends.”
The series concludes on Feb. 18 with a profile
of Warfield, famous for his stirring interpreta-
tion of “01’ Man River” in the classic film
“Showboat.” In the chronicle of the concert ar-
tist’s life and work, Warfield reminisces about
his roles in “Porgy and Bess” and
Mendelssohn’s “Elijah,” as well as his major
tours throughout the United States, Near East,
Europe, Australia and Africa.
Other highlights of Black History Month in-
clude a unique series of 10 five-minute specials, •
spotlighting black actors in theatre and film,
comedians, dancers, poets, painters, inventors,
and social and political leaders.
Topics include the black migration from the
South, the Civil Rights movement, and Gospel
music. The features will air Feb. 14-25, between
6 a.m. and 9 a.m. weekdays, during NPR’s “Mor-
ning Edition” news program.
“During Black History Month, Afro-
Americans take particular pride in looking at
our ancestory,” Verta Mae Grosvenor, co-
producer, said. “Unless you know where you’ve
been, you can’t hope to have a clear idea of
where you’re going.”

Craft unions helping LU
to build campus lodge
Eleven craft unions associated with the
Sabine Area Building and Construction
Trades Council are making what the vice
president for student affairs calls a
“significant public service contribution”
to i-amar on the construction of two lodges
lying built to serve student organizations.
In a cooperative program with Lamar,
the crafts will donate entirely the wages of
their 80 workers on the construction of one
lodge, Dr. George McLaughlin and dean of
students, said. The university will pay the
prevailing wage scale for the other facili-
ty.
“This is another example of our local
labor unions making a valuable public ser-
vice contribution. Lamar is grateful,” Dr.
C. Robert Kemble, Lamar president, said.
“I would make clear that in this case,
the initiative came from the unions, not
from Lamar. It seems to me particularly
appropriate that the students of this
university, who are so representative of a
cross section of this region, are the
primary beneficiaries.
“It is also a further display and
reminder of what can be accomplished by
cooperative efforts directed toward the
good of the community as a whole. I ap-
preciate the many hours that Jack Ken-
nedy (SABCTC business manager) and his
colleagues have spent in planning this pro-
ject as well as the valuable labor contribu-
tions in the construction,” Kemble said.
Craft unions contributing their skills and
wages are Carpenters District Council,
Kenneth Pigg, executive secretary;
Carpenters Local 753, Randy Wylie,
business manager; Carpenters Appren-
ticeship Program, Paul Thames, coor-
dinator; Sabine Area Laborers Training
Program, Leroy Johnson, coordinator;
and Plumbers Local 504, Lee Barron,
business manager.
Also, Iron Workers Local 125, Gene
Allen, business manager; Iron Workers
Apprenticeship Program, Buster LaBove,
coordinator; Electricians Local 479, Eddie
Wise, business manager; Electricians Ap-
prenticeship Program, Dale Miller, coor-
dinator; and Cement Masons Local 884,
Glen Dukes, business manager.
