NSBE schedules Jobs Fair, Feb. 7-8
By LINDA ECKOLS
UP managing editor
The National Society of Black
Engineers will host a Jobs Fair Feb.
7-8 on the Eighth Floor, Mary and
John Gray Library, Tracey Clay,
NSBE vice president, said.
The Jobs Fair is designed to assist
Lamar students in finding
cooperative education, permanent
or summer jobs and to allow
businesses to become familiar with
Lamar as they recruit.
“Five to six of these companies
have never recruited in this area,”
Anthony Wingate, Jobs Fair chair-
man, said. “We’re opening more
doors to Lamar.”
Some of the companies involved
are Amoco Oil Co., from Texas City,
the Department of Public Safety out
of Houston and Kansas City Power
and Light of Kansas City, Mo.
“A lot of people have the idea that
it is strictly for minorities or
engineers, but it is not,” Clay said.
Several companies are opening
jobs to math, geology, marketing or
chemistry majors.
Company representatives will in-
formally interview students for
various job, Clav said.
Clay said that NSBE got the idea
for a jobs fair after attending
regional and national job con-
ferences.
Five NSBE members deceived
jobs last summer through a jobs fair
interview.
NSBE is sponsoring two prepara-
tion sessions for the Jobs Fair on
Jan. 23 in Landis Auditorium. The
sessions will begin at 6 p.m. and 7
p.m. and will last about 45 minutes.
Wingate said the purpose for the
sessions is “to prepare students for
the Jobs Fair—how to write a
resume, how to dress, etc.”
Jack Martin, director of the place-
ment center, will be at the sessions
to assist with writing resumes,
Wingate said. The resumes are
needed at the Jobs Fair.

SGA plans two conventions
By LISA VIATOR
UP staff writer
The first regular meeting of the
Student Government Association
was held Tuesday in Gray Library.
Donna Gunter, SGA president, an-
nounced two conventions that are to
be held this semester.
The first convention is a con-
ference on student government
associations to be held at Texas
A&M University, Feb. 23-26, in Col-
lege Station, Texas.
The second convention will be for
the Texas State Student Association,
March 30-31, at the University of
Texas at Austin in Austin, Texas.
Guest speaker at Tuesday’s
meeting, Teresa Fuller, Port Arthur
junior, talked about faculty cut-
backs and tuition increases.
Also discussed was the cancella-
tion of Family Day, an event the
SGA has sponsored in past years.
Family Day was an event in which
families of Lamar students were in-
vited to become acquainted with the
campus and its facilities. It has been
cancelled because of lack of funds,
Gunter said.
Chris Erickson, SGA vice presi-
dent, announced that the SGA
[Senate retreat is set for Feb. 1-2. The
location is undetermined.
Erickson also discussed the new
attendance policy for SGA members
and reported on the new meeting
policy for the senate and its commit-
tee members.
Jamaica. He most recently visited
Israel where he said the people were
wonderful. He was uneasy at first
about some of the customs, such as
eating with his hands but said he
soon fit right in.
Delarue seems to have no problem
fitting in, judging by the friendly ex-
changes between him and students
at the center.
"...First, you fall in love with
God and his people and then
you want to minister to
them."
—Louis Delarue
He says he is very pleased with his
new position and that he’s tried
other things: working in
restaurants, on aircrafts, and even
picking blueberries.
But there is no other job for him
other than ministering to people. “It
is so fulfilling and enriching,” he
says. “There isn’t anything I’d want
to do but be a priest.”
an aspirin,” he said.
It is his responsibility as campus
minister to provide a home away
from home for students on campus,
by building a family, he said.
Delarue said he ministers to
students by listening, giving
spiritual direction and providing an
atmosphere in which students may
grow.
“I listen to their moans and groans
and help in whatever way I can,” he
said.
The world is a more complex place
than it used to be and Delarue feels
building relationships is the biggest
problem on college campuses.
“There are so many people who
are lonely. I try to get people to form
relationships,” he said, “People
need people.”
Delarue has been working in cam-
pus ministries three years, serving
at Stephen F. Austin State Universi-
ty in Nacogdoches before coming to
Lamar.
He has also found time to travel
during the past few years, making
trips to Egypt, Cypress, Spain and

Even though Father Louis
Delarue, new Catholic Center direc-
tor, has only been at Lamar a few
days, he is already right at home.
He sits in warm-up jacket and

Father Delarue is “a product of
the Golden Triangle,” being a native
of Orange. He graduated from
Lamar in 1971 with a bachelor’s
degree in secondary education but
never thought he’d return.
' “I never thought I’d be back
here,” he says.

pus ministries and his love for peo- Louis Delarue
