UP managing editor
Carolyn Crawford, chairperson of the
State Board of Education and the former
director of guidance and counseling for the
Beaumont. Independent School District,
will officially join Lamar University
Monday as an associate professor in the
educational leadership department.
Crawford resigned her BISD post on
Aug. 22. She has worked for BISD since
1984.
Crawford said she came back to Lamar
because she’s looked forward to the
opportunity to teach
here.
“Teaching was my
first love,” Crawford
said. “This gives me an
opportunity to teach
and counsel. It gives me
an opportunity to utilize
the skills I’ve gained.
“I think the assets I
bring to the program
are first-hand experiences in schools,
knowing the emotional, social and psycho-
logical needs of students and a psycholo-
gist’s point of view on how to help children
and their parents,” Crawford said. “I will
bring to Lamar the perspective of how the
school, parents and community work
together to support students in their acad-
emic endeavors and their growth toward
fully functioning adults.”
Crawford’s former work with Lamar
included a counseling position for a special
opmental guidance, which includes teach-
ing students responsibility, decision mak-
ing, communication, getting along and
cross-cultural understanding.
Secondly, there is individual planning
which includes academic planning, third is
vocational counseling, helping students
make the transition from school to work

program in the Lamar psychology counsel- and crisis intervention which deals with
ing center in the 1970s that trained disad-
vantaged women to be licensed vocational
nurses.
Crawford cited four areas of responsi-
bility for school counseling.
“First is the teaching function or devel-
crises in the lives of students. Finally, there
is what is called system support and that is
building teams on campus for support of
students, knowing how to use testing pro-
grams and other instruments. I’ll be teach-
ing about those things at Lamar,” she said.
Crawford earned a bachelor’s degree
from Lamar in 1964, a master’s degree in
1975 and a doctorate from Texas A&M.
“I like the size of Beaumont and the
friendliness of people. I really think it’s a
wonderful place to live. I’m a graduate of
Lamar and my husband was president of
the student body. He was also dean of stu-
dents,” she said. “We’ve had a longtime
affiliation with Lamar. It’s kind of like
going full circle. My parents were both
schoolteachers and my father moved to
Beaumtmt sjT my sister and t could go to
Lamar.’^ UNI-—,

Steve Maradian, president of
Lamar University-Orange, has
accepted a special assignment
for the Lamar System Office
and will focus
on complet-
ing projects in
progress and
expanding
the system’s
initiatives,
D o 1 p h
Norton, inter-
im chancellor, Steve Maradian
said.
The CALS project, the
pending program on Excellence
in Ship Hull Design, links the
Lamar campuses and other uni-
versities, Norton said. The pro-
gram’s purpose is two fold. It
hopes to increase the use of
computers in instruction and on
virtual reality in design. Norton
said the programs are “giving
the Lamar University new
opportunities on which we
must begin to move expedi-
tiously.”
Maradian will be coordinat-
ing the federally funded initia-
tives in the upcoming year to
develop high-tech opportuni-
ties at Lamar, Norton said.
“We are excited that we are
able to announce this initiative
at this time,” said Mike
Ramsey, chair of the board of
regents. “Dr. Maradian has
been an innovator who sees
projects through, and I am glad
that he has accepted Dr.
Norton’s invitation to help in
this way.”
Maradian has been president
of Lamar University-Orange
for the past four years.
Emphasis has been on educa-
tional challenges and econon-
mic development of Southeast
Texas, Norton said.
Michael Shahan, vice presi-
dent for Academic Affairs at
Lamar University-Port Arthur,
has been named to serve as
interim president during
Maradian’s absence.

Waste has no allies in its fight
* against the Gulf Coast Hazardous
k Substance Research Center, espe-
cially since GCHSRC has intro-
duced Du Pont as an Industrial
% Associate, issued its call for 1994
4 proposals and received funds from
a Mobil Corp.
GCHSRC is a college-based
+ research organization that was
* founded in 1986. It is stationed at
Lamar University-Beaumont,
which is one of the university
‘ members of the center’s consor-
*. tium. Other members include
, Louisiana State University,
Mississippi State University, Texas A&M
’ University/TEES, University of Alabama,
v University of Houston, University of Central
f Florida and University of Texas at Austin.
GCHSRC is funded by the United States
$j
Environmental Protection Agency, the state
K of Texas and industrial associates.
5 Du Pont joined GCHSRC as an industrial
A associate with a membership gift of $60,000,
and has designated other monies to support
research in technology and emissions control.
* The first year fee is $40,000 and each addi-
t tional year costs $20,000. Membership allows
access to all principal investigators on pro-
jects of interest, opportunities to aide in the
decision of allocating funds, choice of estab-
lishing an Industrial Associate Environmental
Fellowship at a university of choice and royal-
ty-free licensing of technology or develop-
ment.
More privileges are granted to the mem-
bers of higher levels. Du Pont is considered a
three-star partner because its annual sales
exceed $10 billion, which is the highest level
of membership. Other types of memberships
include two-star, one- star and associate part-
ner, with membership fees ranging from
$20,000 to $5,000.
Steve Shoemaker, representing Du Pont’s
Corporate Remediation Group in Houston,
noted that the center’s program has long been
of interest to the company. “It
made sense for Du Pont to sponsor
the center since it gives us a chance
to share in practical research
focused on environmental issues of
concern to industry and the com-
munity. As the center’s newest
member, we hope to help guide
research in a direction that melds
our goal of a quality product with
our commitment to a clean envi-
ronment,” Shoemaker said.
Support of GCHSRC not
only enriches a company’s image,
but also provides the associate
with the opportunity of interaction
with significant academic, govern-
mental, and industry colleagues in
a cooperative setting. This type of
productive association encourages timely and
accurate matching of research with industrial
needs.
GCHSRC is now accepting proposals for
1994. The eight universities in the center’s
consortium compete with their proposals to
win allotted portions of total funds. With $2.1
million up for grabs, GCHSRC is encouraging
research primarily in waste reduction and pol-
lution prevention.
Proposals will be reviewed during the
Science and Industrial Advisory Committees’
meeting Jan. 10-11,1995. In choosing projects
