Southeastern 'stars' in WDSU morning show
Southeastern students, faculty, staff and administrators turned out at the crack of dawn -- make that before the crack of dawn -- on Monday to participate in WDSU-TV's remote broadcast during the New Orleans station's 5-7 a.m. morning show.
     During segments of the two-hour show, anchor Roop Raj interviewed President Randy Moffett, Interim Athletic Director/Head Football Coach Dennis Roland, and Spirit of the Southland Band Director Jeff Vaughan (who was accompanied by the band's drumline) and a number of Southeastern students.
     WDSU is highlighting Tangipahoa Parish throughout the week and will feature several other Southeastern guests, including Dean of Enrollment Management Stephen Soutullo and Fanfare/Columbia Theatre Director Donna Gay Anderson, who will appear on the station's noon show on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
     Thanks to all -- especially the students! -- who turned out to create a great spirited crowd for the morning show.

Aug. 18 Hot August Night features pep rally, children's museum 
Among the many activities planned for downtown Hammond's annual "Hot August Night" on August 18 is a preview of the planned "Louisiana Discovery Children's Museum," compliments of Southeastern and the Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts.
     During the 5-9 p.m. event, parents and children will get a sneak peek into the variety of fun, creative, hands-on exhibits that might be housed in the museum, which is conceptualized as exploring the natural environment, people, agriculture, and transportation systems that have shaped Louisiana and the Florida Parishes. 
     Also during Hot August Night, a pep rally for the Southeastern Lions football team, which kicks off its 2006 season August 31 on the road against New Mexico State, is scheduled for 6 p.m. The pep rally featuring the team, Coach Dennis Roland, cheerleaders and Lionettes, will take place in the stage area at AmSouth Bank along Railroad Avenue. 
     Tammy Bourg, dean of Southeastern's College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, has marshaled members of the university faculty to create exhibits and activities that will give patrons a taste of what the Louisiana Discovery Children's Museum museum could offer. 
     Foreign language faculty will help children explore Louisiana's diverse culture by making Spanish dolls and Guatemalan bracelets. The university's Horticulture Club will illustrate agriculture with activities such as planting beans and a display illustrating root systems. Chemistry and physics professors will operate hands-on exhibits about the physics of color, electric circuits and chemistry. With help from psychology faculty and the Psi Chi Honor Society, children can also don "inverting goggles" that turn the world upside down to teach them about visual perception and illusions. 
     Construction and creativity exhibits will include a domino run, 3-D geometric and abstract design construction, a magnetic sculpture board and blocks.
     Members of the museum board will be on hand to distribute interest surveys.
