reasons for running for SA treasur-
er. Alan Dlmmitt sophomore pulpit

Scott Hinshaw junior political
science major from Panhandle took
a different approach to his speech
for SA president by walking out
onto the floor among the many seat-
ed students.
He said the SA had been a major
part of his life for the past three
years and he believed he was well-
qualified for the office not
because of what he has promised
but what he has delivered.
Hinshaw has helped start the
recycling and academic excellence

Student studies
black authors
for honors projects x
By Marty Raves .j
Student Reporter
t i
Elizabeth Barnes senior English
major from Springfield Mo. vill
alyze the effects of absent fraternal
role models in black families af
depicted by five black womcq
authors for her honors project j j
She is researching authors ana
sociology studies and her final
product will consist of a 30- to 40j
page paper analyzing her research
she said. ' f
Barnes chose her project because
she especially has been interested
in black literature as the subject' isj
seldom studied she said. J
The five novels are The Color
Purple by Alice Walker Family by
California Cooper Know Why the
Caged Bird Sings by Mayri
Angclou Their Eyes Were Watdh
Ing God by Zora Neale Hurstor)
and The Women of Brewster Place
by Gloria Naylor.
She has finished reading the no
els and has started gathering infor-
mation. '
Project completion deadline has
been set for the first week of May
she said. 3-
The project which examines
some of the minority subculture
and how they affect different roles
will be beneficial for her future
career as a lawyer she said.
Barnes will start law school at
the University of Minnesota in the
fall.
Because she is finishing a doubl
degree in human communication
and English this project will be the
second senior honors project
Barnes is required to complete.
Her first project entailed creating
a communication manual for ttfy
Department of Human Services fa
Abilene that emphasized public
relations.
Each senior honors project
requires a committee of three facul-
ty members chosen by the student
to work like a thesis committee to
guide the student in his work
Barnes said. '
The committee then questions
the student upon completion forc-
ing him to defend his conclusions
about the project.
Student translates
French collection
into English
By Clay Redding
Student Reporter
Many senior honor students are
working hard to finish their honors
projects this month. One student's
project has required her to take th
J role of a translator.
Kimberly Moon senior French
major from St Louis Mo. is trans-
lating a French collection of Cana-
dian short stories into English.
Moon is translating the book
Conteur Pour lluit Volx whic
consists of eight short stories by
different authors.
She has studied French for nind
years and has been working on thd
translation process since her project
idea was approved in January. .
Moon said that since starting prtfj
ject she has realized "different
styles of some of the authors have
made the process more difficult."
She said the project teaches her
that she is capable of translating
French into English and gives hu
practical experience working witu
the translation process.
Moon said when she completes
the honor project she plans to sub-
mit a copy of her work to a publish-
er. "These are great little stories and
I have enjoyed working on the pro-v
ject said Moon. Hopefully If it
gets published people who
couldn't have read the stories
before will be able to enjoy them
now"
