 
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.

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.

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.

for the Southeastern Lions football team, which kicks off its 2006
season August 31 on the road against New Mexico State, is scheduled

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
