SLU PRESIDENT AND STUDENT TO SWITCH PLACES
     HAMMOND -- Southeastern Louisiana University President Sally Clausen will
surrender her office to one of her students next month -- but just for one day and for a good
cause.
     The president will trade her briefcase for a booksack as part of the annual Southeastern
Student Foundation "Big Switch," a fund-raiser that lets a lucky student be president for a day
while the University president attends the student's classes. Funds raised from the Big Switch go
to scholarships.
     Tickets, $1 each, will be sold in the Student Union Mall on Southeastern's Pride Day,
March 26, and are available at the Development Foundation offices in the Alumni Center on
University Avenue, 504-549-3770. They also can be purchased from Student Foundation
members. Community members and alumni are welcome to purchase a ticket in a student's name.
Campus offices can also buy tickets in the name of their student workers.  
     The winning ticket will be drawn at noon on April 22 during the university's Strawberry
Jubilee celebration.
