State Supreme Court to sit at Southeastern
Southeastern will be the site March 3 where the Louisiana Supreme Court will hold court in Hammond as part of an ongoing effort to educate and inform students and the general public about the Court.
The Court will convene for sessions beginning at 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the Vonnie Borden Theatre auditorium located in D Vickers Hall. It will hear oral arguments on four pending cases.
The sessions will be open to groups of area high schools, Southeastern faculty and students, and the general public on a space-available basis. Plans are being developed to offer closed-circuit viewing of the Court in other classroom locations in the building if the audience exceeds seating available in the theater.
Chief Justice Pascal F. Calogero Jr. of Metairie and Southeastern President Randy Moffett jointly announced the convening of the Court at Southeastern.
Chief Justice Calogero said, “For several years, the Supreme Court has been periodically holding court in parishes other than Orleans Parish, where the Court is located in the French Quarter. The goal is to provide area citizens with a snapshot of the volume, variety and complexity of the Court’s caseload by bringing the Louisiana Supreme Court to them.”
“This is a wonderful educational opportunity for area high school students – as well as Southeastern students and faculty – to witness our state’s highest court in action,” Moffett said. “At Southeastern, we emphasize and involve our students in as many real-world experiences as possible, and we have hosted the First Circuit Court of Appeal on several occasions. The work of the Supreme Court, however, is something few people get to see. We applaud Chief Justice Calogero and his fellow justices for bringing the Court’s work to the public sector and especially for making this available for our students.”
Chief Justice Calogero was elected to the Louisiana Supreme Court in 1972 and took his first oath as Associate Justice on Jan. 10, 1973 to serve a two-year unexpired term. He was re-elected in 1974 to a 14-year term on the Court and was re-elected again in 1988 and 1998. Chief Justice Calogero’s district, the First Supreme Court District, includes the parishes of Jefferson, St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Washington and parts of Orleans.
Chief Justice Calogero was sworn in as Chief Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court on April 9, 1990. As Chief Justice, he serves as the Chief Administrative Officer of the Louisiana Court System, Chairman of the Judicial Ethics Committee, the Judicial Council and the Human Resources Committee, and as a member of the Conference of Chief Justices. In December 1994, he was appointed by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist to the Advisory Committee on Appellate Rules of the Judicial Conference of the United States, and in 1995 he commenced serving on the National Center for the State Courts Time on Appeal Advisory Committee. In 1997 he was elected to the Board of Directors of the Conference of Chief Justices.
As Chief Justice, he has also stewarded the restoration of the Court’s former courthouse and return of the Louisiana Supreme Court to 400 Royal Street. The Louisiana Supreme Court moved to its newly resorted quarters in May 2004.

| SACS UPDATE |
| SACS "Focused Report" and QEP
The campus is further preparing for the on-site visit of the SACS Reaffirmation Visiting Committee to be held March 14-16. Two documents that should be familiar to all faculty and staff who will be meeting with the committee are the Focused Report and the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). The Focused Report is Southeastern’s response to the five criteria judged by the Off-Campus Review Committee as needing further clarification. The five standards include institutional effectiveness, how the University meets the needs of off-campus learners, the evaluation of University administrators, and faculty qualifications. Paper and CD copies of the reports are being distributed to all academic departments, colleges, and members of the Compliance Certification and QEP Teams. In addition, all reports are available on the SACS web site at www.selu.edu/sacs. Further information about the schedule for the SACS visit will be published in ByLion as the schedule is finalized. Center for Student Excellence Advisory Council will implement QEP Dr. John Crain, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, has appointed the Center for Student Excellence Advisory Council. Dr. Tammy Bourg, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, will serve as the council’s chair. “The primary charge of the Council is to implement the action steps and tasks as outlined in the university’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP),” said Crain. “The work of the council will be broad at first, focusing on research into best practices, formulation of policy and procedures, and inviting input from the campus community. We hope to have a director for the center in place by the end of the spring semester. The advisory council will then continue its work in collaboration with the director.” Serving on the Council are: Dr. Diane Allen, College of Education & Human Development; Dr. Mike Asoodeh, Office of Technology; Dr. Beatrice Baldwin, assistant vice president for academic affairs; Joy Brown, undergraduate student; Dorothy Burton-Nelson, Career and Academic Planning Center; Dr. Alan Cannon, Mathematics; Wisner Derosier, undergraduate student; Sam Domiano, Admissions and Financial Aid; Dr. Jeanne Dubino, English; Dr. Celina Echols, Educational Leadership and Technology; Dr. Cynthia Elliott, Teaching and Learning; Stephen Faught, undergraduate student; Dr. Karen Fontenot, Communication; Dr. Tena Golding, Center for Faculty Excellence; Dr. Michelle Hall, Institutional Research and Assessment; Allison Kimball, graduate student.

 Members
of Phi Sigma Pi were the first group of Southeastern students to volunteer
to help build a house for the Ginger Ford Habitat for Humanity. The house,
located on Clinton Court, will be built over the next few months by all
Southeastern workers. From left, are (front) Nikki Falcone, Independence;
Nicole LeBlanc, Kenner; Jessica Flick, Klamath Falls, Ore.; Stephanie Cadro,

City; and Justin Kittrell, Monroe.
Southeastern signs up, pitches in to build a home for Habitat A group of Southeastern students recently donned work gloves and transformed themselves from an honors fraternity into a construction crew. The seven women and two men from Phi Sigma Pi were the first volunteer group to report for work at the site of the Ginger Ford Habitat for Humanity’s newest project – a 1,000 square foot, three-bedroom home on Clinton Court, located off North Cherry Street not far from the university campus. The home will be built over the next four months by all-Southeastern volunteers. Supervised by contractor Keith Trepagnier, a Habitat veteran, the Phi Sigma Pi members on the first Saturday workday helped “wreck the form,” or pull off the wooden border of the house’s slab, before beginning to measure, cut and frame the structure. What the student crew lacked in experience, they made up for in energy and enthusiasm, Trepagnier said. And that, he added, is just what Habitat projects need. “We need willing bodies ready to work. We can do the job with these kids,” said Trepagnier. “These girls have been doing great. They’ve grabbed mauls and have been getting after it!” Phi Sigma Pi President Jaime Samrow, a sophomore nursing major from Baton Rouge, said her organization embraced the Habitat volunteerism as a fun, hands-on service project. According to Kyle McClure, who is organizing the Southeastern volunteers along with university EEO/ADA compliance officer Gene Pregeant, that is the reaction he is getting from many Southeastern student organizations. McClure, coordinator of promotions for Southeastern Athletics, said more than 130 members of the Southeastern family, including students in 20 organizations, have signed up to pitch in on the Habitat project. The idea of an all-Southeastern volunteer Habitat house, he said, originated with the Student Athletic Advisory Committee, which is made up of two representatives from each of Southeastern’s 15 athletic teams. “We realized that it was going to be too big a project just for Athletics, so we invited the whole university to help,” he said. “With 15,000 students and a couple a thousand staff and faculty, this project is a good match,” added Pregeant. To organize the volunteer teams, McClure and Pregeant sent emails to the faculty or staff advisors of Southeastern’s more than 80 student organizations. Signed up so far – in addition to Phi Sigma Pi and the Student Athlete Advisory Committee – are the Presbyterian Campus Ministries, Alpha Sigma Tau, Wesley Foundation, Circle K International, Men's Basketball, Sigma Gamma Rho, Theta Chi, Southeastern Lady Cubs, Theta Phi Alpha, Southeastern Association for Family and Consumer Sciences, Phi Sigma Pi, Alpha Omicron Pi, Phi Mu, Biology Graduate Student Organization, the Department of General Business, National Student Speech Language and Hearing Association, Delta Tau Delta, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and the Campus Activities Board. “It has really helped me to have Kyle and Gene take this on,” said Ginger Ford Habitat for Humanity Director Lori Dardis. “I’m amazed at how much work the first group was able to get done. Those students did an exceptional job.” Dardis said the Southeastern house is one of five that Ginger Ford Habitat for Humanity hopes to build this year. The Clinton Court house is being built for Vertisteen Easterling with July 1 as the targeted completion date. In addition to working on the job site, Dardis said members of the Southeastern community can also coordinate food for the volunteer workers or help with other Habitat construction projects, including a home in Independence that is nearing completion and a new project that will begin in April with funds raised by the Shop for Habitat. “Sometimes we just need volunteers to distribute flyers, to help with clerical work in our office, or with fund-raising,” she said. “It’s wonderful working with Southeastern, especially the students. I’ll take all of the help they are able to give.” Members of the Southeastern community who would like to join in the Habitat house construction project can contact McClure at 985-549-2900 or Pregeant at 985-549-5888. Potential Habitat volunteers can also contact Dardis at ghabitat@bellsouth.net. Table of content |

 LPO
Maestro Timothy Muffitt
LPO brings Russian classics to Columbia March 11 The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra will bring the sound of Russian classics to the Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts on March 11. “St. Petersburg and Moscow,” an LPO “Causal Classics” concert, will feature beloved works by composers such as Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich and Prokofiev. Conducted by LPO Maestro Timothy Muffitt, the program is the second of three LPO concerts slated for the downtown Hammond theater during its 2004-2005 season. Tickets for the 7 p.m. performance are available at the Columbia box office, 220 E. Thomas Street, 985-543-4371. Tickets are $33, Orchestra 1 and Loge; $27, Orchestra 2 and Balcony 1; $20, Orchestra 3; and $19, Balcony 2. Box office hours are noon-5 p.m., weekdays. The program will begin with Shostakovich’s “Festive Overture,” a rousing concert opener written in 1947 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of a momentous event in Soviet history, the October Revolution of 1917. Unlike much Soviet “Party” music, the piece has a niche among Shostakovich’s most popular works because of its brilliant scoring, fine craftsmanship and witty effects. Shostakovich will be followed by a march from Serge Prokofiev’s zany opera “The Love for Three Oranges,” a work characterized by Prokofiev’s acerbic harmonies, droll tunes and satirical twists. Up next will be Tchaikovsky’s incomparable “Swan Lake,” unarguably the world’s favorite ballet score, and the overture to another opera, “Russian and Ludmilla,” by , Mikhail Glinka, Russia’s first important classical composer. The LPO will also perform a special arrangement for violin and piano of Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Flight of the Bumble Bee,” the most famous number of the composer’s opera, “Tsar Saltan.” The concert will conclude with excerpts from “Gayaneh” by Aram Khachaturian, one of the most brilliant composers to come out of the former Soviet Union, and “Polovtsian Dances” from Alexander Borodin’s opera “Price Igor.” For additional information about the LPO’s concert, contact the Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts, 985-543-4366.

Rock
'n Roar offers fun for all on March 12
Rock ‘n Roar Fest, a day-long festival showcasing Southeastern's quality academics and family-friendly atmosphere, will be held on campus Saturday, March 12, for its ninth consecutive year.
Scheduled for 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Rock ‘n Roar includes a multitude of entertainment opportunities, academic displays, and other activities headquartered at the War Memorial Student Union. This year’s event is following its predecessor’s successful track record of providing a day of family fun for both Literary Rally visitors and the community, said Kenya Varnado, who is coordinating the festival.
“Rock ‘n Roar is a day-long event with something for everyone and a great way to get the community, campus and the visiting high school students together to sit back, relax, and have fun while visiting and learning about our campus,” said Varnado, a Southeastern graduate and counselor in the university’s Office of Financial Aid.
Rock ‘n Roar continues its partnership this year with the Hammond Downtown Development District’s Saturday marketplace, which will move to campus that day. Rock ‘n Roar patrons can also visit the Southeastern School of Nursing’s health fair, co-sponsored with North Oaks Health System, where they can receive information on self-breast exams, strokes, heart health and more; be screened for blood pressure, glucose, and body mass; and register for a door prize. Children can learn about scooter and fire safety.
Also planned throughout the day are a plant sale, arts and crafts booths, food booths and entertainment.
Families will find at Rock ‘n Roar IX also includes a petting zoo, puppet show, baby and children’s games, story tellers, popular camps for children, the University Police Department's free KidCare Photo I.D. program, and activities such as a space walk and interaction with Southeastern’s lion mascot, Roomie.
Three traditionally popular camps will be available for local children. Camps include a dance camp from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Kinesiology and Health Studies Building for children ages 5-12, with a performance scheduled immediately afterwards at the stage in the Student Union park. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable running or tennis shoes.
Also on the schedule is the art camp from 9-11 a.m. at Clark Hall for children ages 5-12. Space is limited. Finally, a baseball camp will be held from 9-11:30 a.m. at Alumni Field. Children ages 6-13 are invited to participate and are asked to bring their baseball glove for a day of fun. Special passes to baseball camp participants will be available for the Southeastern Lions baseball game at 3 p.m. that afternoon.
Camp fees are $5 for the art and baseball camps. Dance camp fees are $15 and include refreshments and a gift item. Parents can pick up applications for camps at the Alumni Center, 500 West University Ave., or register online at www.selu.edu/roarfest. MasterCard and Visa payments are currently accepted for online payments; pre-registration for all camps is mandatory due to limited space.
Rock ‘n Roar will also entertain teens from public and private schools from Washington, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Iberville, Livingston, St. Charles, St. Helena, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Washington and West Feliciana parishes. The students are coming to campus for the Southeast Louisiana District Literary Rally, where they will compete in 43 different subjects.
When the approximately 3,000 high school students finish their tests and wait for results to be posted, they can join area residents in gathering useful and entertaining information from hands-on academic displays, financial aid and career booths, and choose refreshments from the wide variety of food booths sponsored by student organizations and alumni chapters.

Academic displays sought for annual Rock 'n Roar fest
March 17 "Roomie's
Birthday" to celebrate Southeastern pride
The CLAWS/PRIDE committee is planning a special Pride Day celebration
showcasing academics for March 17, Roomie's Birthday.
The committee designated St. Patrick's Day
as Roomie's birthday last year. The holiday was selected because it falls
during the month when the university traditionally had a Pride Day anniversary
celebration and because its "green" theme was a good fit for honoring the
university's mascot.
"We are inviting departments to put on some
kind of special activity for students for approximately two hours that
day," said Heather Lawrence, who is heading the activity for CLAWS/Pride.
"This could be the same as or similar to your Rock ‘n Roar activity. Students
would come to your department, participate in the activity, and receive
a ticket. All of the tickets will go into a drawing for a valuable prize.
The more an individual participates, the higher his/her chances of winning.
"This is one way to give students an understanding
of this university outside their own ordinary circles of experience," she
said. "We hope to have you on board."
Departments interested in participating
in the Pride Day celebration are asked to email Lawrence at hlawrence@selu.edu.
