Shreve selected outstanding school in Caddo Parish by Linda Ledbetter News Editor

Shreve has recently been selected as the outstand-ing high school from Caddo Parish, qualifying to compete with other comprehensive high schools, junior highs and middle schools acr:oss the United States, for national recognition.

nominate a high school, junior high I middle school or both which meets the criteria sug­gested in the guide, "Questions and Answers for the 1982-83 Secondary School Recognition Program." After studying the guide, Walter Lee, superinten­dent of the Caddo Parish School Board, chose Shreve to repre­sent Caddo Parish. Lee based his decision on Shreve's academic standards , the student leader­ship and its academic learning climate.

students; and positive school environment.

The selection is in connection with the new, national Secondary School Recognition Program established by U.S. Secretary of Education, Terrell Bell. The pur­pose of this program is to ac­knowledge a national group of schools that are exceptionally effective in educating their students.

In cooperation with Bell, Kelly Nix, state superintendent, asked the superintendents of Louisiana school boards to each

To be taken into consideration when nominating schools were 14 characteristics specified in the guide, associated with the effectiveness of a school 's program . Among these are clear academic and behavioral goals, order and discipline; rewards and incentives for teachers and

Composers of the program feel one of the ways to measure the effectiveness of these character­istics is noting the percentage of students in five areas of out­come . They are the number of students who go on to post­secondary education, training or who enlist in the military; student participation in academ­ically oriented competitions; performance on minimum com­petency test and standard achievement tests; and student drop-outs.

In the letter to the State Department of Education nomi­nating Shreve, Lee spoke of Shreve's numerous, academic attributes and its high acaoemic expectations in the past and present. "Even during student unrest of the 60's and desegre-

Bible study resumes after postponement

by Cheryl Dubois Enterprise Reporter

Although the Wednesday morning Bible study services, which have been held in Room 112 and most recently outside the gym walkway by the Busi­ness Center at 7:15 a.m ., were postponed for three weeks by Principal Sandra McCalla, services resumed schedule Wed­nesday morning in the audi­torium.

The services were originally started last school year when a group of seniors felt they needed a "I ift for the day" and had the idea approved by McCalla. AI-

though the group initiated with six to twelve students, the last meeting on Feb. 9 contained a larger group of 20 to 25 students.

Even though many rumors have spread around Shreve con­cerning the cause for postponing the Bible study, McCalla said a principal's meeting was held, and Cecil McCune, director of student affairs at the school board office, informed each principal to check on the Bible studies at their school to see if they were within the law .

"It hasn't been. cancelled," McCalla said before the deci­sion was made. "I've declared

gation of the 70's, Captain Shreve offered high level aca­demic and experimental courses - calculus, a team class in American studies, the novel, creative writing, computer science and others," said Lee. He also mentioned Shreve's "diverse" curriculum which provides for several advanced placement courses and academic internship allowing for high school credit. In addition to the variety of subjects offered, Lee commented on the academic excellence of the students and the "committment to excel­lence" of the teachers. This committment has resulted in DAR awards, "Teacher of the Year" awards, and the PTA "Teacher of Distinction."

McCalla is one of the many principals who has recently

filled out a lengthy form con­cerning subjects such as school organizations, a homework pol­icy, and evaluation of teachers. The forms will be reviewed by a panel in each state which will select five outstanding high schools and five junior high/ middle schools. The forms of these schools will be sent to Washington where two 15 member panels will select 50-80 schools nationwide.

After meeting on April 8, they will have chosen a number of these schools to be visited. Site visitors will be visiting the schools from April 11-May 31. After their reports have been viewed by the panel, it wi II determine a final group of schools to recommend for na­tionwide recognition. Each school recognized will receive a plaque from Secretary Bell.

Council Week slated Student Council Week, an

annual week observed by student governments across the state, will be held at Shreve from March 14 to March 18.

Events scheduled include the Blood Drive, Treasure Hunt, the Mike Mark Assembly and "Student Council Works for Me," contests.

More information concerning the Blood Drive is found on page 12.

Clues for the treasure hunt will begin on the March 14 morning announcements. The prize of an undetermined amount of cash will be hidden some­where on school property.

Bo Harris, linebacker for the Cincinnati Bengals football and former friend of Mike Mark is scheduled to speak during the assembly. Mike Mark was a 1971 graduate of Captain Shreve who was killed in a training flight over Germany.

As an outstanding student, Mark was president of the stu­dent council and varsity base­ball, football and track letter­man. He was selected for the all-district football team and all-state baseball team. Nomi-

a moratorium on it until I can get together with the people involved (senior Amy Newman; Broadmoor Baptist youth direct­or, Tom Harrison; and McCune) and work something out," she said.

McCalla recently went to a professor at LSU-S for some information regarding the laws of church and state.

After McCalla read and studied the material she re­ceived, she made her decision to resume the services outside the Learning Center as long as they are student directed.

nations for the Mike Mark Award were given by teachers. This I ist of worthy students was narrowed down by a group of teachers and students who reviewed each nominee's application . The twelve nomi­nees selected for this year's prestigious award are Tim Bennett, Clay Bretches, Sean Galen, Jennifer Holland, Nancy Horton, Becky Jackson, Sophia Kirkikis, Mike Magner, Robert Martina, Cedric Thomas, Cindy Walker and Mark Young. Coach Lee Hedges will announce this year's recipient.

Also during Student Council week students will have another chance other than searching the grounds for a hidden treasure, to win prizes. During the week, two days will be designated, "Student Council Works for Me" days . On these days, Student Council senators and officers will be wearing green student council T-shirts and will be given a secret number. If you happen to be the lucky student who says, "Student Council Works for Me" on the desig­nated number, you will win a prize.

McCalla receives laws The materials regarding the

laws that McCalla received con­tain information regarding Bible studies in other states and their problems. For example, a group of students in New York also wished to hold an interde­nominational Bible study before ,. school on the school grounds; however, their wish was denied by the school board. Also, in California, students wanted to form a student Bible study club and conduct its activities on campus during school. Again the request was denied; however, this time by the Court of Appeals of California.

2 THE ENTERPRISE

------------~~~~---------------------------------------Opinion March 11, 1983

What is so great about the Magnet?

If ever one topic was more overrated and overpublicized, it would have to be the Magnet schools. Everywhere you look in all forms of the media, you are constantly being bombarded by some­thing that a wonderful Magnet student has done.

Take for example, a recent article in the Shreveport Times featuring Magnet school fashions. Why center it around one par­ticular school? Are they the Shreveport-style vogue trendsetters for high school students? Just a visit to the Shreve campus would be enough to show anyone that Gators are also very fashion con­cious. Nike, Calvin Klein, Lee, Polo, Gloria Vanderbuilt, IZOD, and Tretron; yes , all of these labels can be found in Gatorland, too.

Granted , the Magnet school does have some outstanding points that should be recognized, such as their fine Debate Team that has won numerous awards, and a commendable fencing club that recently competed in Florida, and this is all well and good. However , Shreve and other schools have many fine qualities that set them apart from the rest, but which have been buried lately under mounds of Mustang news by local newspapers and television stations. T here are many outstanding features at Shreve that have been overlooked . For instance , our Drama Club is one that can be compared to neon in the area. Each year they put on professional shows ranging from their recent production of the mystery , "Bad Seed, " to last year 's energetic musical "Fiddler on the Roof." Many long, dedicated hours are spent working on each performance and it certainly shows. Scholastic ability at Shreve cannot be overlooked either. Last year there were four National Merit Finalists with 1982 graduates earning over $3000 in scholarships.

Gator teachers are also an asset. In two out of the three years presented, the Poor Man's Supper Louis Seiber Educator Brother­hood Award went to a Shreve faculty member. The 1981 recipient was Jack Bogan and this year 's winner was Matthew Perdue. The fact that the superintendent of schools, Walter Lee, nominated Shreve ?ver all area high schools •. including the Magnet school, as outstand­mg school for the secondary school recognition program speaks for itself.

Our ROTC and winning football, basketball , and baseball teams have records that also speak for themselves.

The entire Magnet system seems like a massive drainage hole that is soaking up far too much money for such a specialized group, when countless other schools could benefit much more. Everyone is entitled to an equal opportunity, even those less fortunate students who do not meet the criteria for the "all-mighty" Magnet school.

Old style hair cuts set new style fads

Parents should be ecstatic - shampoo companies are going out of business - people are running their hands over stubble hair which accompanies the used-to-be flowing locks of hair. They look like a cross between Pee Wee Herman and Beaver Cleaver. A new fad has suddenly buzzed through the students of Shreve leaving them nearly bald. In the halls people turn and run the other way or stare screaming, "Can I touch your hair?"

There are mixed opinions among teachers of Shreve about these new short flat-top, crew cuts that have recently invaded the heads of a group of Shreve guys. Differing views are also heard from students. Many girls are horrified while others shreak approval.

On the serious side, students who wish to obtain a unique, interesting hair design should do so with the intent of self satisfac­tion -not just for attention.

Science fair Dear Editor:

Has anyone stopped to con­sider the reasoning behind Ms. McCalla 's decision to have mandatory science fair projects? Is it to enhance our knowledge in science? Possibly, but un­l ikely . Is it to get " headline " for Captain Shreve to make us look as pretty as a "knight in shining armor"? Probably.

It is my opinion that Captain Shreve is in a publicity war with the Caddo Magnet School and McCalla's decision to have mandatory science fair projects is her way to get more glory for Shreve.

If the above is not true, then why would McCalla decide just two weeks before the fair that projects were to be mandatory. It is my opinion, and many other students, that two weeks was not enough time to do a "good" science fair project. Truthfully Ms. McCalla, are you really impressed by the quality of this year ' s projects? I suggest that in future years, Science Fair Projects be made extra credit .

Now keep in mind this is only my opinion, but I am some­what inclined to believe that others share the same feelings . Ms. McCalla , I await your rep ly in this space in the next news­paper .

Bible study Dear Editor,

I feel that the Wednesday morning Bible study should start back up. We did not cause trouble, and we asked permis­sion to use the classroom . I also think that we are being dis­criminated against if we can ' t continue having our meetings. In no way did we force anyone to come to the meeting; if you wanted to come you were wel­come . Furthermore, I feel that if any other religions want to start meetings - they should. I am for Bible meetings for every religion , not just the Baptist denomination. I hope this letter will encourage other religions to start having before-school meetings, and I -hope that I haven't made anvone mad. I

Backtalk Do you think that a request by an individual or group - clergyman, church or otherwise - suggesting the cancellation of a voluntary Bible study program before school be carried out? Why or why not?

Brenda Lilly, sophomore- "No, not necessarily. Those who want to take Bible study should. People should have the right to choose what they want to do . If you don't want to take Bible study, you don't have to . " Kendall Hanna, junior - "If they want to have a meeting, let them have a meeting. It may do

something to help their lives." Scott Stinson, sophomore - "I don't think it's right for one person to stop the Bible study because they're not soliciting to anyone and if it helps them tnrough the day, well, they should have it." Tina Gosdin, sophomore "Yes. School is school and

church is church. Those who want to learn about God - go to church." Will Odom, freshman - "No. It's a public school." Charles Morton, senior "No. They're not being forced to attend so it's not like there's religion in schools. It's their choice."

Ric Lipsey, junior - "No. It's not mandatory . The students have a right to go."

Carol Zaffater, English teacher­"That should be up to · the in­dividual church . Since we are not allowed to pray in school , Bible study should be held at the individual's church."

only wish that our 7:15 meetings could start back up because I miss the middle-of-the-week lesson . It was a time where we could become close and share with each other du ring the middle of our hectic schedules . Please let us continue our meetings at the school, due to convenience, because we miss having one day we can meet.

In Christ , Debra Woods

School prayer Dear Editor:

There's a big difference of opinion about prayer in the school. Prayer is nothing to be ashamed of and I think every­body needs prayer . We have prayer during football season so why stop afterwards. I don't think it's fair, and if you agree let's do something about it. Give a hoot; don't pollute the air without prayer.

Opinion

Mo.re letters ·to the Editor Letter to Editor

I would like to commend Maleda McKellar and the cast and crew of the "Bad Seed". I really don't think the students at Shreve realize and appreciate the amount of time given in order to put on a play .

Shreve Drama Club is known for its ability to offer enter­taining plays like no other local school. The cast and crew builds their own sets, supply their own costumes, and dedicate

hours of their time a day to bring us enjoyable entertainment, whether it be comedy, tragedy, or mystery .

For the past two weeks, the cast , crew, and directors have dedicated many hours to the pro­duction of the "Bad Seed" . This means long weekends that allow no time for partying with friends and late weeknights that leave little time for study­ing. The people that work on the plays realize what is at stake when they begin, but they still do it because they find it so rewarding .

Gym class Dear Editor,

Our gym classes are very overcrowded. There are ap­proximately 30 to 35 students in ' each gym class. Out of the class, about 20 have a chance to participate , and the students that want to participate can 't.

If they do, they have to wait half - or even somet imes, the whole period. And for those students who enjoy p.e ., it isn't fair.

Can We Talk -- about spring fever? by Cynthia Maisch Feature Editor

Spring Fever, an annual disease which affects every man, woman , child or dog , has reached epidemic proportions within the confines of Captain Shreve. This viral infection which erases the words "per­fect attendance" out of our vo­cabulary, and reduces grade point averages to negative numbers, is corrupting the Nminds" of students, teachers and various forms of plant and animal life within the area.

In spite of attempts made by the administration, (three day assemblies, the designation of senior skip month, various telethons, and the floor shows which now accompany every class), Spring Fever affects 9. 734 out of every 10 students daily. Although no "wonder cure" has been perfected , the disease can be temporarLJy

During these 168 hours of freedom, students engage in their own forms of rehabilita­tion. While some people attempt to roast outdoors developing mild cases of skin cancer in the form of suntans, others try the more imaginative approach to developing their fushia skin. They choose instead to catch rays while lounging in a sand box accompanied with a fake palm tree, several hula girls and Don Ho.

You can always tell who con­tinually watched television during this seven day respite. These people sing commercials and now quote the "Brady Bunch", "Leave it to Beaver ", and the "Family Feud", ver­batum.

Aside from these students there are a rare few who actually do study during the holidays (sad but true). They actually come in contact with their books, and remember pertinent things such as locker combinations, class schedules, the name of the school, and how to write. (These people should be shot, killed, and executed on the spot).

Alas, all good things must come to an end - students as well as teachers, return to their class praying for summer.

· Over a million teens get pregnant yeariJ

#2 Abortion causes.--::::;--­lifetime regrets

by Cynthia Maisch Feature Editor

echoed throughout the build­ing.)

Most teenagers say they're not ready for parenthood. Yet over one million girls between the ages of 13 and 20 get pregnant every year. Shocking? What's even more shocking is the fact that Louisiana ranks second in the nation in illegitimate births . According to a recent article which appeared in The Times, while Louisiana's birth rate continues to increase, else­where in the nation the rate of illegitimate births is de­clining among unwed mothers.

Unwed pregnant girls do have options. Some have chosen abortion, others have selected adoption, and still others have decided to raise the child either by themselves

or by the help of the father. Because of the various

adoption agencies provided , girls choosing to put their child up for adoption have even more options. Agencies such as VOA (Volunteers of America) provide free room and board as well as medical assistance with the under­standing that once the child is born, it must be placed in the home of the adoptive parents.

Regardless of the decision these girls make , the pain and confusion associated with each can last forever.

The following articles are accurate accounts depicting the choices made by three girls former Shreve students.

Chairs line the walls of the cramped lobby, magazines litter the tables. Women openly talk trying to relate their feel­ings. They take turns trying to explain why they are there -they make excuses. She sits nervously anticipating what they will think of her . Everyone else has a "valid" excuse. One woman, already a mother of three, couldn't afford another child. Another had been raped. As the time comes for her input to the session, her only response is "I fell in love, and it just happened."

She sits quietly recollecting the past one and a half years ... Tears form in the corners of her once bright green eyes and slowly trickle down her face stinging her cheeks - streaking her make-up. The memories obviously hurt, yet she con­tinues, openly disucssing her feelings . "I tried to kill myself three times," she says bluntly, her face becoming expression­less.

She remembers the confusion in trying to cope with her feel­ings. Alcohol became her only form of escape. At age 16, she found herself living a hellish nightmare. Although she under­stands it all now, at the time she thought that after taking the first birth control pill she was safe (her doctor failed to tell her that the contraceptive was i neffec­tive for the first seven days).

#1 Pregnancy terrifies 'mom-to-be'

Her big green eyes, now red and swollen from crying, stare blankly as she relives the past. It's obvious that even now, she still remembers the pain - the guilt remains. She winces as she tries to accurately describe her experience . . . she is petrified . . . she nervously fingers through a magazine , yet she is unable to concentrate -to her the words don 't even exist. Time passes ... the at­mosphere within the operating room is cold . . . she sits terrified on the table - almost to the point of hysteria. She is unable to breathe in the gas which will eventually deaden the pain- at least for a little while.

"My life was planned out," she says fantasizing of a perfect life - one without pain , fear or confusion. Dis illusionment fills her eyes indicating her shat­tered hopes and dreams of the future. "I had no idea what I was going to do," she com­mented, shaking her head. In­tense pressure becomes noticed throughout the silent room. "There was no way out," she said and added after pausing briefly, "without getting hurt." She tries to hold back the tears; these actions , however, are in vain. She wanted to have the child and to possibly put it up for adoption, but she realized

by Cynthia Maisch Feature Editor

Outwardly she appears calm, at ease. Looks can be deceiving. Her voice is soft, somewhat timid, yet it pierces the intense silence which fills the room. She has trouble making eye contact - instead her eyes continually look downward -possibly searching for answers to her endless doubts, her many questions. She is nervous about the uncertainty of the future, for her sake and for that of her unborn' child. Within the next few months she will be forced into an adult world, one of challenges, decisions, and hard­ships- she is only 17.

"It's just hard," she says shyly, "you realy have nobody to talk to." Although she admits that she can and does talk to her boyfriend, he doesn't really understand her thoughts and feelings. No one does. People gossip about her, forcing her into a state of isolation .

Hesitating, she continues to

talk, yet a barrier remains. "It happened all so fast, I just wasn't prepared at all ," she says shaking her head in dis­belief. When she first realized she was pregnant, she "took a walk and started thinking." She felt pressure immediately. Everything began "closing in". Her thoughts became a mass of confusion. "Nobody really ex­plained it to me," she said, referring to the use of contra­ceptives. By reading books she learned that contraceptives were ineffective as well as dangerous; therefore, she decided against any form of protection.

After missing one of her menstrual cycles, she went to a doctor for testing and later learned she was pregnant.

"I couldn't believe it - and didn't want to," she said. Abortion was out of the question. It is murder according to her. She instead has chosen to raise the child herself, accepting all the pains and responsibilities involved. However, she herself admits "mentally I'm not pre-

pared" ... Her first pains came in the form of morning sickness. She continues, describing the misery of sitting in class nau­seated every day. "It really interferes with school," she said referring to the dizziness, the headaches, and the vomiting. These are merely physical pains - her emotional pains are much more traumatic. Aside from deciding whethe·r or not to keep the child after it is born, other conflicts constituting pain­ful decisions arose. Although her boyfriend has considered marriage, stie feels that at present she is "really not ready." Even though she attends classes concerning birth once a month at LSU, she has an uneasiness about her.

Another indication of her immaturity is the fact that she has been neglecting her health (she doesn't drink milk, forgets to take vitamins). Obviously the reality of a human life living within her hasn't hit her yet -and probably won't until it's too late.

Although the operation in itself was a short, simple one, her reactions would have indi­cated differently . She doesn't remember the screams - (only later informed by a nurse did she learn that her screams

that her life would be ruined because she would either be continually searching for the child or living in fear that the child would be trying to find her.

'"- Still in high school and without a job, she realized that she wouldn't have the time or the money to support the child, her feelings of indecision coupled with morning sickness, made concentration in school diffi­cult.

Although she wanted to have the child, her mother strongly advised against it, suggesting instead that she have an abor­tion. "You're too smart to mess up, • her mother told her. "I made the appointment, but I was so scared I didn't keep it," she said, continuing that per­haps "the biggest step was going to Hope Medical Group for Women. My mother had to literally drag me by the hair down to the clinic. • Although her mother supported her through­out the abortion, staying by her side and crying whenever she cried, they no longer talk about it.

She kills it, clearing the top of the net by inches : There is no return this time. Game. Set. Match .. .

by Bobby Nolle "The sky is the limit." That is how Tournament of

Champion's Chairman Ken Hanna feels about his family's new hobby/business, Hanna Competition Sports.

"We feel like the sport of water skiing is just now develop­ing, as a form of recreation as well as competition," Ken Hanna stated. "I like to compare it to snow skiing because eight years ago snow skiing was not that big, but now it's very popular. n

You may have heard of Hanna Sports before, and if you haven't, then you've probably heard about the Tournament of Champions. Even more likely, you've heard of MasterCraft boats. This is where the Hannas come in. Up to now, the Tourna­ment of Champions is what Hanna Sports is all about. The T.O.C. supplies a market tor the MasterCraft boats Hanna Ford now sells.

Maybe one of the reasons Ken Hanna needed a new hobby is because he was getting bored with his auto business.

"There is a depression in the

automobile business right now. You can blame the American labor for that. No one realized it could go to the extent it has."

So when one business slows down, a good businessman will look for another way to stay ahead. In this case, Hanna Ford's selling of over 15 Master­craft boats at $16,000-$17,000 apiece must have helped to make up for at least some of the "depression n.

"The T.O.C. is a good form of advertisement and a good market for the boats," Hanna said. "I'm always interested in some­thing that can be a good oppor­tunity. •

Hanna said that although now they're just sticking with the T.O.C., they are going to branch out as soon as the tourney is established. Apparently, it's already getting that way. Hanna Sports was awarded the Ad of the Year Award for their tourna­ment of champions, Spray Magazine wrote a big article on the tourney and the E.S.P.N., USA, and Mizlou networks were there to capture the event on film for television viewers.

"I think that we have estab­lished a good name and credi­bility," Hanna added.

"Last year our invitational tournament consisted of 30 skiers from eight different countries. They were the best around."

Next year, it may even be bigger.

"With exposure, the T.O.C. will be bigger this year," he added. "Now we're looking into the sport of 4-wheel mud racing which may be coming soon."

Although Hanna Sports did not clear any profit this year of the Tourney, Hanna believes that in two years it will be a profitable venture.

Some of you may remember the big controversy over the sales of beer by Coors, the T.O.C. main sponsor, on Sunday of last year's tourney. The year before, the city allowed them to have their beer sales, but this last year the Tourney was unable to do so.

"It's unfortunate that the city responded like they did," said Hanna.

pointed at the city's decisions, but it really wasn't that big of an issue."

Although there will probably be no beer sales on the Sunday of this year's Tourney, there will be numerous other refreshments available.

"We just want to keep it a clean event. It's an excellent event. We've had zero inci­dences. The Tourney is very popular with the people (it cleared a combined attendance of nearly 35,000 fans for the 3-days) and the family people are exceptional. We want to put back into the community everything it's given us. Shreve­port is a good place to live."

Hanna also expressed his appreciation to all the volun­teer workers including Captain Shreve's Key Club. Interact is also expected to be involved this year.

The competition will be taking place this year on the 5th, 6th, and 7th of August.

Polkamp predicts the Major ~eague by Scott Pohlkamp

Hey baseball fans, it's about that time of year again. The Major League teams are in spring training and will open up the regular season in less than a month. This year's pennant races may prove to be some of the closest ever . Let's take a look at each division .

National League East The World Champion St. Louis Cardinals will return all of their starters this year . The outfield includes two speedsters in Lonnie Smith and Willie McGee. Last year they combined for 82 stolen bases. The infield is shared up by veteran Keith Hernandez, Gold Glove winner Ozzie Smith , and Ken Oberk­full. If the cards have a weak­ness it is a lack of consistency in the starting staff, but with Bruce Sutter, who cares? Chal­lenging the Cards will be the Montreal Expos. Most experts pick them to be the division champs and who wouldn't wityh catch~r Gary Carter (29 HR, 97 RBI), AI Oliver (.331 AVG ., 109 RBI), speedburner Jim Rainer (78 stolen bases), Andre Dawson (.301 AVG., 23 HR, 83 RBI), and ace Steve Roger (19W-8L). Bill Virdon will take over as skipper and is a proven winner. The Pittsburgh Pirates need a Dave Parker comeback and continued production from Jason Thompson (31 HR, 101 RBI) , Bill Madlock (.319 AVG., 95 RBI), Tony Pena (.295 AVG.) plus improvement from a pitch­ing staff that boasts John "Candy Man " Candelaria and side­arming Kent Tekulve. Although the Philadelphia Phillies have Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Mike Schmidt, and Cy Young Award winner Steve Carlton, they need more pitching to capture the pennant. The N.Y. Mets have superstars Tom Seaver, George Foster, and Dave "King Kong" Kingman, but it may

take another miracle for the Mets to contend . The Cubs are the same old hopeless Cubs. National League West How 'bout them Braves. Last year they won their first division title since 1969 and are eager to repeat. The Braves' supporting cast includes MVP Dale Murphy (36 HR , 109 RBI), Bob Horner (32 HR , 97 RBI) , and ageless knuckleballer Phil N iekro (17W-4L). The Braves' biggest weakness is a lot of questions in the starting rotation . The Dodgers will be a contender as usual. The "Bums" lost Steve Garvey and Ron Cey in the off­season , but manager Tom La­sorda thinks that Pedro Guerro (.304 AVG., 32 HR , 100 RBI) rookie Greg Brock, Dusty Baker, Rookie of the Year Steve Sax, and Fernando Valenzuela (19-31) can take up tl)e slack. The Padres are led by iron-man Steve Garvey, controversial Garry Templeton, and Jerry Kennedy (.295 AVG, 97 RBI) . Jim Lollar (16-9) heads the pitch­ing staff. The Houston Astros have Jose Cruz, Ray Knight, Omar Moreno, and Nolan Ryan, but they lack a slugger and can't keep their pitchers healthy. The Giants and Reds are re­building and aren't expected to contend.

American League East "Harvey's Wallbangers", "The Brew Crew", whatever you want to call them, the Milwaukee Brewers have a great team . The A.L. Champs smashed 216 homers in their path of de­struction last year . Gorman Thomas (39 HR, 112 RBI), Ben Ogilvie (34 HR, 102 RBI), Robin Yount (.331 AVG ., 32 HR, 114 RBI), and Cecil Cooper (.313 AVG, 32 HR, 122 RBI) are among the returning starters, With a healthy Rollie Fingers , these guys will be tough to beat. Here we go again. Billy Martin is back and so are his famous off and on the field antics .

Good luck,

Gators

Martin has been hired , fired, rehired, fired and hired by George "Money Bags" . Stein­brenner. With the addition of Don Baylor (93 RBI) and Steve Kemp (98 RBI), the N.Y.Yankees will make things interesting. Dave Winnfield (37 HR., 106 RBI), and Ron "Louisiana Lightning" Guidry (14-8) lead the team. The Red Sox with Jim Rice and Carl Yastrzemski and the Orioles with Jim Palmer, Ken Singleton, and Rookie of the Year Cal Riplen Jr. will try to make things interesting. Sparky Anderson's Tiger ball club looks good and could wind up contend­ing if everything comes together . The Blue Jays and Indians (where are you Joe Charbon­eau?) are in trouble in this talent division. ·American League West Rod Carew, Reggie Jackson, Fred Lynn, Doug DeCincess . . . with names like that you've got to be good and the Cali­fornia Angels are. Reggie "Jax" slammed 39 four-baggers, DeCincess added 30, and all eight starters had 50 or more RBI 's last season. The Angels are favored to win this division. However, Harold Baines (105 RBI) Greg "The Bull" Luzinski (102 RBI), and LaMarr Hoyt (19-15) will try to dismantle the 1982 division winners and put their Chicago White Sox on top. The Sox and K .C. Royals were sleepers last year, but could awaken this year. George Brett, Willie Wilson, Willie Mays Aikens, and relief pitcher Dan Quisenberry are more than ready to regain the title . The Oakland A's and Rickey Hender­son (130 SB) are looking to rebound after a disastrous 1982 season . The young Minne­sota Twins, Seattle Mariners, and cellar b-ound Texas Rangers are not expected to finish above .500.

Hold on to your caps baseball fans, this season is going to be a great one.

Spring into spring this season with some nifty fifty fashions by Helen Haley Enterprise Reporter

Marilyn Monroe jeans, 'T'­shirts, long billowy shirts, sweatshirts, oxfords, bobby socks, pony tails and bright lipstick. Sound like something your mother wore to school? You ' re right! And these clothes are comirig back in style. This season some short French-cut jeans, that are named after the person who made them popular (Marilyn Monroe) and a Holly­wood 'T'-shirt accented by a scarf , big button earrings, a wide belt and bobby socks will put you in the height of fashion. Because the Hop pin' Boppin' 50's are back .

Pants this year are shorter too. There are the clam diggers that are like knickers with no band at the bottom, and peddle-

pushers, that, just like their name suggests, are great for riding bikes due to the mid­calf length. However, both of these are usually worn tight, but not so tight that they rip when you sit down or you feel un­comfortable. Also both of these are very straight legged.

For skirts, it's one extreme to the other. Mini skirts, that run from the middle of the thigh to above the knee, loose skirts that come to mid-calf, and the tight, straight skirts are all back in style.

To top off your jeans, peddle­pushers, and clam diggers, a short-sleeved 1 T I, a cute mid­drift or halter top will be com­plimentary . For your skirts, short-sleeved blouses that aren't too dressy will look good. The ever-popular solid colored

oxford will also fit in with any of these outfits.

For accessories, scarfs in your hair, and around your waist are in. Large bracelets, bolq earrings and wide belts are also helpful in tying an outfit together. Shoes are your basic flats or low heeled sling backs to help keep your feet comfortable. With your peddle pushers or short jeans, a colorful pair of spike heels will look fine. There's also the saddle oxford, which your mother might still have

. lying around · the house. You can even drag out your father's old letter jacket or even a boy­friend's jacket will do.

So this spring hop into some Marilyn Monroe jeans, an old IT' shirt and your oxfords and dance over to the nearest sock­hop.

Sophomore Frank Folsom and junior Caron Reddy model the latest in fashion clothes from the Depot.

Buyers purchase merchandise for local retail outlets by Knakita McMullen Enterprise Reporter

Everyone knows by now that fashion follows its own time­table. And on that schedule -with the calendar still a page away from the official start of Spring, March marks the turn of a new season. With that new season, new colors, new clothes, new cosmetics , and new ac­cessories come also. Most shop­pers walk in stores not realizing how much it takes to get clothes from Paris, New York, and Dallas to the small metropolitan area Shreveport, Louisiana. The per­son behind the clothes is the buyer. Good buyers are easy to spot, because shoppers are al­ways coming back.

Orlene Rawlinson is the buyer for the Designer department

and the Better Sportswear department at Selbers, one of the more popular stores here in Shreveport.

How does she know what to buy?

She reads Women's Wear Daily, travels to the market places during market season, and looks at the past history trends because they often repeat themselves. Therefore, when she goes shopping,buying comes easy. It's up to the buyer to select what he likes.

All types of buyers go to "market", each with his or her own taste, but they go at differ­ent times. Some of the places that they travel to are New York, California, and of course, Dallas. Fashion buyers at Selbers usually travel once a month to New York, twice a year to

spring," Rawlinson said. Confectionary colors will still

be quite popular. "A lot of brights, such as royals, greens, and magenta have hit the scene, and they look as though they ' ll be around a while . •

Tardy system Shreve has recently adopted an original

tardy system that may involve students going before the School Board , in hopes of cutting down on the number of excess tardies acquired by some students.

The new tardy system is actually a strict addition to our old tardy system. When a student gets five tardies, he is sent to detention. After three more detentions the student will be suspended for one day. Then after that, one more tardy will result in the student and his or her parents appearing before the School Board . The School Board then will decide if the student will be returning to Shreve or not and if they do return, what restrictions will be placed on them. So far , five students have been suspend­ed for excessive tardies, however, no one has had a school board hearing .

126 students along with their parents have been contacted and warned about the new system. Most of the parents who have been contacted are in favor of the policy; some are saying, ' it's about time'. Those offenders who have over 50 or 60 tardies, and "there are some," said Dr. John Turner, who is in charge of solving the tardy problem, are being treated like they have been to detention three times.

Turner says that the system appears to be working for those they've talked to. However, some people are wondering if they are serious. Turner said they are definitely serious .

Blood drive Shreve's annual Blood Drive will

take place from 8:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m., March 16, in Room C-102.

The Blood Drive, one of the many activities usually taking part in Student Council Week, had 150 seventeen and eighteen year-olds participate last year and plans to have at least as many this year. One pint of blood is taken from each donor. However, there are certain requirements . Blood tests are required as are blood pressure and temperature. Donors must be 17 years old or older, can not be taking any medication and must have eaten breakfast prior to giving blood.

T-shirts will be distributed and re­freshments offered to anyone who is willing to participate in this year's drive.

Unfortunately, Captain Shreve obtained only 15 points in this competition. Friday night was spent in a dormitory on the Louisiana State Uni­versity campus near downtown Baton Rouge.

On Saturday, an outdoor athletic event was cancelled due to inclement weather conditions in the Baton Rouge area. However, state Latin Club officers were elected . In addition to Jones' candidacy for treasurer, Martha Barkely, sophomore, ran for secretary, and sophomore Spencer Reisinger entered the race for vice president. Jones was the only victorious candidate from Captain Shreve.
