UP Profile-
Life intertwines with music for Siau
Joseph Saiu
By Kelli Scofield
UP contributing writer
The violin must have been in-
vented with Joseph Siau in mind.
Siau is a Beaumont freshman
music major who attends Tjimar on
a full scholarship. At first, Siau had
no interest in musical instruments.
“My mother made me join the or-
chestra in junior high,” Siau said.
“She wouldn’t let me join the band
because she knew I’d want to play
the drums. She didn’t want to deal
with that at all.”
After the first week of classes,
however, Siau fell in love with the
violin. He began to focus his atten-
tion on it. He started practicing for
several hours each day.
His interest stayed focused on the
violin throughout junior high and
high school. In high school, he pick-
ed up a few other instruments as
well.
“My sophomore year of high
school, I started playing the guitar. I
mowed a ton of lawns over the sum-
mer and bought a simple electric
model,” Siau said.
He also played the drums
whenever he got die chance to do so
— at other people’s houses though.
The highlight of his musical
career so far has been his accep-
tance into the Beaumont Symphony
Orchestra. He joined the orchestra
while in high school and continues to
perform with the orchestra.
“The music department
here at Lamar has taught me
a great deal. Since I’m con-
stantly performing in front of
people, I’ve gained a lot of
extra confidence.”
—Joseph Siau
Siau says of the orchestra, “I truly
enjoy it. It’s a lot of tough work, but I
learn so much from being involved
with it.”
The Lamar music department has
also helped Siau advance his
musical career.
“ The music department here at
Lamar has taught me a great deal,”
he said. “Since I’m constantly per-
forming in front of people, I’ve gain-
ed a lot of extra confidence.
“Between this and the symphony,
I’m now at ease when I perform in
front of large audiences.”
Of his plans after graduation, Siau
said, “You’ve got to know what you
want out of life. I want to be a music
minister.
“What a lot of people don’t realize
is that if you have no goal or direc-
tion, you’ll never get anywhere. And
even if you do, you might not realize
it.”
Lamar Student Radio gears up for airwaves
By Debra Goetschius
UP entertainment writer
Students have been bothering
James Wood lately. They are
wondering when the Lamar Student
Radio will be heard again on cam-
pus.
“We may be on as soon as this
story is out,” said Wood, program
director of the station.
The station, which broadcasts
from its studio in the reading room
of the Setzer Student Center, has
been on the air one full semester at
90.5 on the FM dial.
The station is operated by Lamar
students who volunteer to be an-
nouncers.
Since students volunteer to be on
the air, they are free to develop a
format according to different tastes,
Wood said.
“The basic rule is there is no for-
mat. I look for a DJ that plays a
variety of music, and who has a good
personality. Anyone can be an an-
nouncer,” Wood said.
The station operates as part of the
Setzer Student Center Council and
receives funds from the Student Ser-
vice Fee.
Lamar Student Radio is a non-
profit station and does not depend on
advertising to exist.
Wood said that he would like to see
campus organizations inform the
station about events in order for
them to be announced on the air in
the form of public service an-
nouncements.
Wood said that the station has a
record library, but announcers are
encouraged to bring their own.
“Mostly people bring their own
records, and I encourage them to
share or loan records to other DJs so
they can hear different kinds of
music,” Wood said.
“We want to upgrade as much as
possible, but we need support from
students, so we can grow and ex-
pand,” he said.
Applications for announcers are
available in 201 Setzer Student
Center.

dent leave school, they are not ready
to repay the loan.
“If students default on loans, that
creates a hardship for TGSLC — and
a hardship for us,” she said.
“There needs to be a cooperation
between the school, lenders and
guaranteeing agencies in order to
assure that students understand
their responsibilities and, when they
leave school, continue with those
responsibilities.
“The availability of student loans
has increased over the last several
years and has resulted in this higher
default rate. We’re going to have to
work with students more closely,”
she said.
Castete pointed out that for the
last couple of years, the Internal
Revenue Service, working in con-

Communications looks to change curricula
By Matt Walther
UP contributing writer
The communication department
is undergoing a major curriculum
review and a potential change this
semester, Olen Pederson, depart-
ment head, said.
The changes will be moving away
from specific training to a much
broader spectrum of communication
skills at the undergraduate level, as
well as updating the current pro-
gram, he said.
“In the future, we will be seeing
particularly at the undergraduate
level a much broader, much more
eclectic emphasis in communication
skills,” he said.
Two faculty committees are work-
ing within the department.
The first comfiittee is established
to handle the review and refinement
of the undergraduate curriculum.
The second committee will wait for
the final report of the undergraduate
level before reviewing the graduate
curriculum.
The specific changes are not
known at this time but the change
will be toward interactive com-
munication, not just broadcasting,
he said. Other changes in the future
will be expanding the master’s
SGA-

Pnnzier proposed a resolution to
SGA stating that the department of
health, physical education and
dance revise its dress code to
eliminate the requirement to wear
red and white.
The resolution failed, and Prinzler
will revise it to be voted on Tuesday.
Some SGA members said they
thought wearing red and white is im-
portant in order to promote school
spirit. Another student said that if
students were allowed to wear what
they wanted, they might dress im-
properly.
In view of the comments, Prinzler
will reword the resolution to express
the consensus of how SGA members
want it to be read.
Andy Hemmings, academic af-
fairs chairperson, said his group is
still working on having better
academic advising for students.

Plans for changes are not com-
plete, but James Bethel, associate
professor of communication, said
that tentative plans call for more
stress on a liberal arts background.
“We need to pull off of broad-
casting as emphasis,” he said.
He pointed out that communica-
tion majors should excel in the skills
of reading and writing, and often
they do not. A broader liberal arts
background would improve these
weaknesses.
Preliminary plans would call for

said. “Three of us have already talk-
ed to deans. I hope by next week we
will have all the information.”
consolidation of technical courses,
creating more room for students to
take liberal arts courses.
Pederson said there will probably
be five or six master’s courses,
creating a central core.
These would be general courses
for anybody interested in the
master’s program in communica-
tion.
He said he expects a two-prong
emphasis at the master’s level from
which an individual may select.
Pederson expects the final report
and information on the refinements
by the end of the spring semester.
