David Hooker
Hooker named to UP post
By Deidre Moore-Murley
UP senior staff writer
A new face is reading over the
shoulders of Lamar University
Press reporters these days.
David Hooker, former writing
specialist in student support ser-
vices, has taken the position of assis-
tant to the director of student
publications.
Hooker says the opportunity to
work with students who like to write
and who are talented really excites
him.
“The quality of the paper has im-
proved so much since I was a stu-
dent, and it’s so much fun to read,”
Hooker said.
“I am really excited about work-
ing here.”
The position was formerly filled
by Louise Wood, who left in June to
take a job with Ann Lee and
Associates.
Hcoker will be responsible for pro-
viding professional assistance to
the director of publications, Howard
Perkins, in supervising the planning
and production of the University
Press.
“I’m glad to have David here. I
think he’ll be very good in his job
based on his his long teaching ex-
perience,” Perkins said.
In addition to these respon-
sibilities, Hooker will be working
directly with student staff, tutoring
them in writing and editing skills.
Besides all of his work respon-
sibilities and his four children,
Hooker has found time to write the
first draft of a novel, “ Lamia.”
“It’s not the first novel I’ve ever
written, but its the first novel I hope
to publish,” Hooker said.
The novel’s title is taken from a
poem of the same title by John
Keats.
“It’s a horror-fantasy-sex comedy
with theolpgical overtones, so it has
something for everyone,” he said.
“I am entering the first chapter
and synopsis in an unpublished
author’s contest.”
The contest is being sponsored by
the Golden Triangle Writers Guild
as part of the 1989 Writer’s Con-
ference being held in Beaumont.
“I had daydreams about that (be-
ing a novelist)” in junior high and
high school. But Hooker’s true loves
were literature and theater.
Hooker, who minored in theater,
won the Best Actor award while here
at Lamar. Later, after graduation,
he joined an acting troupe, which
toured the Midwest and the East
Coast.
“I was in a touring company,
Alpha-Omega Players, for 15 mon-
ths,” Hooker said.
“I’ve been a cost analyst, a securi-
ty guard and a Fuller Brush man,”
he said.
“I think it’s good to do a variety of
things with your life,”
Fell’s students bugged by class
BLACKSBURG, VA.(UPI) -
Eating fried insects. Handling hiss-
ing cockroaches. Passing swarms of
bees.
You won’t find Rick Fell worming
out of any of those challenges.
The entomology professor at
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and
State University is, in fact, the per-
son who devised some of those
schemes to help antsy students deal
with insects and bug-like creatures.
Earlier this month, Fell turned his
talent for blending fun with a serious
subject to help Virginia Tech’s en-
tomology department celebrate its
30th anniversary.
The two-day celebration started
with a “Fear of Insects” film
festival. Demonstrations of live,
giant cockroaches and tarantulas
were followed by the movies
“Spider” and “Mothra,” the latter
of which is the improbable tale of a
giant silk inoth that attacks
Japanese cities.
Fell hopes this fun will help focus
attention on the program’s more
serious fare, discussions by national
experts on Americanized “killer”
bees; Lyme disease, a potentially
fatal illness carried by the deer tick;
the gypsy moth, which is eating its
way through millions of acres of
forests; and the Asian tiger mos-
quito, which carries yellow fever
and encephalitis.
“These are things that people
have heard about,” Fell said. “They
are all major problems.”
Mixing fun with entomology is all
part of Fell’s classroom strategy. He
is accustomed to dealing with
students left bug-eyed by insects.
“One of the things we like to do on
the first day (of class) is pass
around hissing cockroaches,” Fell
said. “That wakes them up.”
If that gets a little stale, he takes
them outside to watch a queen bee
and her swarm, which buzz on t^y
without hurting the students.
If it’s near lunchtime, a graduate
student might come in and fry up
some bee larvae and mealworms.
Some students balk, but most will
give it a try.
