Dear .\iunini.

Homecoming v\cekend is perhaps my lavorite lime at Northwestern each year. because those activities and conversations with alumni always spark such u arm nuMiiorics of our Alma Mater.

Getting together at Homecoming allows former students to reminisce about their

experiences in the laboratories, classrooms and dormitories and on the playing fields t)l the

university that is such a cherished and important part of our lives.

Students at Northwestern are giving new life to oldfilm strips through computer technology. Under a grant provided to the university, students convert film strips used to teach basic math skills to elementary school students to a more modern form that students accustomed to

working with computers can better utilize. The project is called Mind Training Systems.

"We're taking an out of date technology and reproducing the same product for the computer," said student manager of the project Mike

Wilson. "We take the old film strip, record the sound on computer and reproduce the images. When we're through, students will be able to

rewatch a lesson as many times as they need to. With a film strip, the

whole class would watch it at once and if you missed a part of the lesson or didn't understand something, you couldn't go back."

The programs will be u.sed primarily for special education and remedial courses. Having lessons on computer will change the way many students

learn.

^ ^Another advantage is that this program is providing jobs for some of our students and putting money in their pockets and that

makes it easier for them to get an education, ^ ^

"These lessons will have question and answer responses which will allow each student to measure his progress," said associate professor of computer information systems Dr. Claude Simpson. "This method gives the student an instant respon.se to a right or wrong answer. Students are comfortable working with the computer and with the latest technology and this gives them a method that helps them learn and that they can also enjoy working with.

"Another advantage is that this program is providing jobs for some of

our students and putting money in their pockets and that makes it easier for them to get an education."

Under the program, students will convert about 400 films strips to computer disks. The disks will be converted to CD-ROMs, which are similar to compact disks.

"The purpose of this project is to produce a product and that's giving us

good real life experience." said Wilson. "We're expected to produce a certain amount each day because we have production quotas and deadlines to meet."

Janna Baxley, a senior in office administration from Bentley. has seen some of the practical aspects of the project. Baxley will work towards a

master's degree in education after graduating and has been helped by working on the project. The project uses the same Harvard Graphics software for desktop publishing that she used in Computer Information Systems 4800.

"It has helped me understand how lessons are put together," said Baxley. "It would be interesting to run across one of the lessons I've put together someday or Janna Baxley. a senior in ofTlce administra- even if one of my children used a lesson tion from Bentley. I-A., is pictured ciin\erlin(; in class." film strips into computer lessons.

Baxley can convert one lesson to computer disc in about two working days depending on how many pictures have to be created by the students to

illustrate the film strip.

The students normally have to create art work of any picture of a technical nature such as machinery. Each lesson may require up to 90 pictures and about 80 of them must be created by the student.

About 15 students are working on the project. If this project is success-

ful, it could be expanded if other markets can be found for the work.

"We hope to have the opportunity to provide the same service to other firms in the future," said Dr. Barry Smiley, head of the NSU Division of Business. "This project has provided a place of employment for the students and has helped us continue to develop our faculty. It's important to give students and faculty exposure to the applied world so they can function in those areas."

College isn'tjust for weekdays anymore at NSU. The university will offer classes on Saturday and Sunday

beginning this fall.

Northwestern is offering courses through its Weekend College to meet the needs of potential students whose work schedule or other obligations prevent them from taking classes offered by the university on weekdays.

"We want Northwestern to provide creative, innovative responses to the needs of people for a college education," said Dr. Randy Webb, Dean of

Instruction and Graduate Studies at NSU. "We hope this program can help people earn an associate or bachelor's degree that can help them to a

better life."

Course offerings will include basic classes in math, English, science, history, home economics, computer science and health that can be applied toward a bachelor's degree in general studies or other degree programs.

Classes will be offered on a semester basis, during the "A" term from Aug. 29 until Oct. 10 or during the "B" term from Oct. 24 until Dec. 13.

"The number of adult learners has been increas-

ing over the last several years," said Dr. Sam Coker, head of NSU's Division of Continuing Education. "This program will allow us to accommodate students that have had trouble taking college courses. Students from Shreveport, Alexandria,

Leesville and other cities in the area can drive in on Pictured is Kyser Hall, the largest academic the weekend and take courses. building on the Natchitoches campus.

Maude Files Zimmer

One of the many joys of working with the Alumni Col- umns is getting to know the people that we profile. This delight was recently experienced when we ventured to

MonroCy LA., to visit with Mrs. Maude Zimmer. Storyteller and author, Mrs. Maude Files Zimmer, was bom into a family of seven brothers, in Oak Ridge. LA., in 1905. Her career as a storyteller began before she entered school. Her mother wrote down Maude's stories and required Maude's seven brothers

to sit quietly and listen as they were read aloud. Maude remembers that her brothers were not always enthusiastic about her stories and would often hide out rather than become a captive audience.

Maude's mother attended Louisiana Normal and Maude herself gradu- ated from Normal in 1924. During the following eight years she taught

school in her home village of Oak Ridge — vacationing in the summers

in places like Mexico, the West Indies and South America. On one of her

trips into Mexico she met a publisher, who printed several of her travel

articles in his magazine.

After her teaching career, she entered Soule Business College in New Orleans. LA., where she met and married Colonel Joseph E. Zimmer. Following her husband to his home state of Connecticut, she began her writing career again. They lived there for 37 years. During this time she

wrote a column for the Hartford Times , "A Time To Remember". So many people loved her column, she was encouraged to author several books. Her published books are "A Time To Remember". "A Village Too Small". "Door Without A Lock" and as of March 1992. "Writers Harvest". Her books are about her life in the small village of Oak Ridge. The people she knew, main street, church, school, town and farm

life are all found warmly written down from memory.

Mrs. Zimmer is a very happy and contented lady — pleased with the

accomplishments in her life. Today she lives in an apartment filled u ith

family antiques and still possesses a photograph of the old home place in Oak Ridge. Memorabilia, such as a handsome portrait of her husband in his army uniform, a picture of her son. a quilt from a young lady u ho befriended her. and her beautiful crewel work are in evidence all about her.

Our visit was a pleasure and we promi.se to stay in touch with this delightful lady.

The Soviet Union may be gone, but threats to the United

States still exist. One of the people who monitor the activities of other nations and assess the impact on the

United States is a Northwestern graduate Brig. Gen. Charles W. '^ChucW Thomas.

homas was recently promoted to brigadier general and is Deputy

Director for Current Intelligence (J2), the Joint Staff at the T Pentagon. Thomas along with the Director for Current Intelligence serve as a senior intelligence advisor to Gen. Colin Powell, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, providing him with current military intelligence informa-

tion. Thomas also provides information to other members of the Joint Chiefs and Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney.

"Our role is to serve as a window into the national intelligence commu-

nity for the chairman and to serve as an interface between military intelligence and the national intelligence community," said Thomas from his

office at the Pentagon.

Thomas earned a bachelor's in zoology and later earned a master's in zoology, specializing in marine science. He had no plans to enter the military, but was drafted into the army in 1967 during the Vietnam War. He attended officer candidate school and was commissioned as a second lieutenant.

"1 enjoyed intelligence work and decided to make it my career u iihin a year." he said. "I enjoyed being with soldiers and having the opportunity to command."

Thomas" training as a scientist has been helpful in military intelligence.

"Studying zoology required a great deal of discipline." said Thomas. "In science, you solve specific problems and that has a great deal of application in military intelligence."

Thomas was influenced by many of his instructors at Northwestern.

"I'm grateful to have learned from professors like Dr. Ray Baumgardner. who had a distinct influence on me." said Thomas. "There were many others like Mrs. Ora Williams, who taught me the classics, Greek and Roman literature. Dr. Rod Outland, Dr. Rene Bienvenu, who taught microbiology and Dr. Buddy Bonnette along with my father Dr. Charles F. "Red" Thomas."

Dr. Thomas was vice president of academic affairs and dean of administration at NSU.

Thomas has been stationed around the world, serving in Thailand, Germany, Turkey and Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War.

He earned steady promotions and once served under then Maj. Gen. H.

Norman Schwarzkopf while at the Army Command and General Staff College of the 24th Infantry Division.

During the Gulf War, Thomas was Director of the Central Command Joint Intelligence Center before returning to the Pentagon after the war.

Since the Gulf War, the world has changed considerably with the breakup of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. The threat from a superpower no longer exists but the potential for regional conflicts exists.

"The threats we will face will be threats to our national interests," said Thomas. "They will be based on the influence of drugs or threats to the economy of nations. There is such a disparity and division of wealth in the world that some nations are susceptible to an autocratic form of govern- ment."

Some nations are still in an arms race, working to develop nuclear weapons. That threat still worries the U.S.

"It's a real concern of ours that some nations will be able to develop weapons of mass destruction, both nuclear and chemical," he said.

The breakup of the Soviet Union has had some disadvantages including possible civil wars and the rise of nationalism.

"Some of the former republics have been affected by nationalism and some have been affected by radical fundamental religions. It's something we have to continue to watch," said Thomas.

Thomas is married to the former Patsy Arant of Auburn, Ala. They have two children, Andrea and Hank.

Fall 1992 11 Profiles/Class Notes

Jerry Richardson

Jerry Richardson has been a successful girls basketball coach, winning four state championships but the 1979

Northwestern graduate doesn't believe winning is every- thing.

a coach, Richardson led his team at Shiprock High School in AsNew Mexico to incredible success on the court. As a teacher, he's more proud of what his team accomplished off the court

during his nine years at Shiprock. He recently left New Mexico to become

head women's basketball coach at the University of Central Florida.

The story of what he accomplished on and off the court at Shiprock was featured in Readers Digest and newspapers around the country. A docu-

mentary film was done about his team and a feature film is in the works.

Shiprock is on the Navaho Nation reservation. Poverty and unemploy-

ment were at epidemic proportions, claiming almost half of the population. Alcohol and drug abuse were also major problems. Richardson's team, the Lady Chieftains, served as a positive influence in the community by creating a sense of accomplishment and pride.

"I never spoke of winning," said Richardson. "I expected 100 percent effort out of everyone and winning was a byproduct of that. Success in

athletics is much more than winning."

A near-fatal auto accident when he was an assistant coach at Shiprock had a big impact on Richardson's philosophy. While on the way to a game, a truck crossed the center line and collided head-on with the car Richardson was driving. He was pinned in the car for two hours and had a punctured lung, a broken jaw and multiple bone fractures.

"The accident changed my focus. It allowed me to be a better teacher," he said. "I had always been an athlete and was concerned about coaching. Now I'm more of a teacher."

Richardson became head coach three years later when no one else wanted the job. Richardson, an African-American, had to overcome some cultural differences to get the results he wanted.

He was bothered that the players seemed to be passive and would avoid

eye contact because it was considered rude in their culture.

12 Alumni Columns Profiles!Class Notes

"Native Americans are very family oriented and a lot of what they

believe is not the norm in the rest of the world," said Richardson. "We had

to find a place in the middle. What I tried to make them understand is that in different environments, you have to behave differently".

i told them when you're with your grandparents, behave as you were taught, but when you're off the reservation, you have to adjust."

Richard.son had many other obstacles to overcome during his first few years as head coach.

"It took me the first four years to really sell my program to my assistant coaches and to the administration." he said. "I never sold everyone but we made gradual progress."

Richard.son had strict rules for his players including maintaining a high grade point average and acting like role models on and off the court.

"They had to put themselves out front in a place where they would get

criticism." said Richardson. "Some of their peers didn't like it and tried to turn them away from the program. Some of the team members didn't

make it but a majority did and once they started to develop leadership, they started to feel good about themselves and that led to winning."

Goal-setting and psychology were some of Richardson's best methods.

"We set a lot of goals for the team that we knew were unattainable, but by setting those goals, they were able to accomplish more than they ever thought they could," he said. "Then we set goals we knew they could

achieve. That gave them a lot of pride."

Richardson gave credit to his former track coach Jerry Dyes and several faculty members for giving him the educational background that helped him develop as a teacher.

Among those he credited were current NSU President Dr. Robert A. Alost, who was Dean of Education in the 1970"s. and faculty members Jim Simmons, Dr. Buddy Bonnette and Johnnie Emmons. Dr. Bonnette had a big influence on Richardson.

"Dr. Bonnette helped me shape my philosophy by the way he taught." said Richardson. "He wasn't going to fool you. There wasn't any in- between with him. You got things or you didn't."

Richardson faces new challenges as he is starting his college coaching

career at the University of Central Florida.

"My focus is to make sure that the student-athlete here gets a college education," he said. "We're going to focus on academics and make sure

the student-athlete gets an education and is able to go into the v\ork place and be successful."

And knowing Jerry Richardson, a sequel may be in the works.
