 Saturday's
Rock 'n Roar offers fun for all
Scheduled Saturday from 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 modeled after its predecessor's successful track
record of providing a day of family fun for both Literary Rally visitors
and the community, said Connie Davis, 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 Davis, associate director of Auxiliary Services.
Rock 'n Roar 2007 will again partnership
with community organizations such as the Hammond Downtown Development
District and North Oaks Health System, who are providing a farmer's
market and health fair respectively.
Also planned throughout the day are
a plant sale, arts and crafts booths, food booths, entertainment,
and a garage sale with clothes and other items compliments of Southeastern
Panhellenic Council and campus sororities.
Families will find that Rock 'n Roar
XI also includes a multitude of children's activities, face painting,
an interactive football throw with members of the Lion Football Team,
the University Police Department's free KidCare Photo I.D. program,
and activities such as a huge inflatable "jam box" bouncer,
jousting and obstacle course and interaction with Southeastern's lion
mascot, Roomie. Children can also explore vehicles compliments of
the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Department, Hammond Police Department
and Hammond Fire Department.
Three traditionally popular camps will
also be available for local children. Camps include a dance camp,
hosted by the Lionettes, Southeastern's dance team, 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 afterward at the
stage in the Student Union park. Participants are encouraged to wear
comfortable clothes and tennis shoes.
Also on the schedule is the art camp
from 9-11:30 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 for free admission with a paid adult ticket
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.
Pre-registration and payment for all camps is mandatory by March 14
due to limited space.

'n Roar, call the Alumni Center at 985-549-2150 or visit www.selu.edu/roarfest.
 Poster
depicts 'Floodlines of New Orleans'
The floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina literally left a ring around
New Orleans. A year and a half later, the rusty legacy of the waters'
destructive ebb and flow remains etched on walls, statues, signs,
and vehicles.
"It's like you're living in a toilet
bowl - everywhere you look there is a ring around the side,"
said Anthony Ranatza. A native of Harahan transplanted to Hammond
first as a student and now as an employee of Southeastern, Ranatza
took camera in hand last March to capture images of the ubiquitous
flood lines.
As his personal way of commemorating
the storm and of making a contribution to the city's rebirth, he has
selected the best of more than 300 photos to create a poster, "The
Floodlines of New Orleans," which he is marketing as a fundraiser
for New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity.
"The Floodlines of New Orleans"
can be purchased for $20 ($25, autographed) at www.floodlines.com.
Ranatza, assistant director of Southeastern's
Office of Admissions, said the project was inspired by the popular
"Doors of …" poster series that depicts unique or decorative
entryways in many American cities, including New Orleans.
"Every photo captures the flood
lines left from the toxic gumbo that rotted out New Orleans,"
said Ranatza. "These markings have landed on just about everything."
The images of the 16 by 24-inch poster
show the rusty film staining cars, schoolbuses, signage, and windows
- one still draped with a tattered American flag. They illustrate
the residue's ruler-straight mark on building fronts, fences, roadway
pilings, a row of clothes dryers in a flood-smashed Laundromat, a
statue in a flower-bedecked cemetery.
Ranatza has always had an interest in
photography and furthered his talents and skills while working as
a student photographer in Southeastern's Public Information office.
It was his idea after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks to create
a poster from the photographs he and university photographer Randy
Bergeron took at a university memorial service in Southeastern's Strawberry
Stadium. That poster also became a fundraiser.
Originally, he said, "I wanted
a poster just for myself to have a remembrance of Katrina and what
we all went through. I had no idea that I would get them printed much
less put them on the web." But, when he showed his work-in-progress
to friends, they wanted one, too. Then, the opportunity to create
a Web site arose when he needed a final project for a web design class
in his organizational communication master's degree program.
"I decided I could make this happen
and do it all myself," he said.
"I know I didn't pick an easy subject,"
Ranatza said. "The photos are not friendly, polite, or uplifting.
But the poster is not meant to be depressing, it's meant to serve
as a reminder so that we don't forget about New Orleans."
"Everybody has a story," he
said. "My whole family rode out the storm with me here in Hammond,
my grandparents from Slidell, my parents and brother from Harahan
and six dogs. Then, because of my grandparents' age, we evacuated
for two weeks to Tennessee." His grandparents remained with him
for nine months, while his sister and various other relatives are
still coping with post-storm rebuilding and renovating.
"I wanted something we could all
relate to," he said, "something that we could look back
on and and say, 'Wow, we survived. We're still here, we're still strong
and we will tell our story one way or the other.'"
