The World of Stephen Lokitz


I would just like to warn everyone that this site is under construction. It has been neglected for 2 years and I am now attempting to refresh it and make it live again. Check back often to see what improvements I have made.
Welcome one and all to the Grandest Show on Earth! (And if you want elephants and clowns, well, I can help you with the clowns, but the elephants...)
Well, it may not be the best page out there, but it might keep YOU entertained for a little while!

I am a first year graduate student working on my Ph.D in experimental nuclear physics. I attend North Carolina State University where I take graduate classes and work as a teaching and research assistant. I've only been here a year, but I have to say I've enjoyed it and would recommend this school to anyone.

I got my bachelor's degree at a small liberal arts college in Jackson, Mississippi, named Millsaps College. I double majored in Physics and Mathematics. This is also a great school where I happened to meet my soon to be wife. That's right, I'll be getting hitched on June 19. Pictures and other stuff will be here once I figure out this stupid Unix stuff.

Enough about School. Let me share with you some other cool stuff that you may or may not want to know.

Laboratories At Which I've Worked

The Triangle University Nuclear Lab The first nuclear lab that ever hired me (amazingly, it is also the only one and if I manage to blow something up, it may be the last one). I'm here now, and so far so good (what I mean is I don't glow yet). This is my second summer here and I will be here full time once I pass our departmental qualifier. It's a neat place to work and we sometimes get to do fun things like have picnics and have parties.


The Gulf Coast Research Lab This is the marine science lab that I worked at for three summers. Lotsa cool stuff going on here. Sea Creatures, Seawater, and water plants. Like I said, a lot of really neat things can be learned here. Mr. David Burke was my boss here and he is a very learned man who does a great Mark Twain impression.




Sports Links That Everyone Should Use

The San Diego Chargers The greatest football team in my lifetime (OK, just a little exaggeration, but they still have a lightning bolt for a mascot).



The San Diego Padres The second best baseball franchise ever assembled (The first is of course the Arkansas Travelers, but that's a REALLY long story).



The Los Angeles Clippers OK, no question here, these guys shouldn't even be considered a b-ball team, but they did play in San Diego for a while.




The St. Louis Blues The Blues are my favorite hockey team that I can watch on TV. Being from the coast of Mississippi used to mean no hockey, BUT ...





Now the East Coast Hockey League has brought the Mississippi Sea Wolves to the gulf coast. This other logo is for the Mobile Mysticks, our arch-rival and otherwise hack hockey team who we tune up against for our better opponents.






And of course, no web page could be complete without a favorite NASCAR driver. This is Bill Elliott. He drives the number 94 McDonald's Ford Thunderbird. He's a past champion, winner of The Winston Million, and been voted the most popular NASCAR driver for longer than I've been alive.
And better yet, I even have a picture of his car.


I am a member of the Mississippi Delta Chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. We are the largest national fraternity in the country, so when we were nominated for the John O. Mosely Zeal Award in 1996 after only seven years in exsistence, it was a very big award. It sure is nice to have all that hard work pay off with a little recognition although the things that we do, we do for their own merit, and not so that we can win an award.

    • Other Links That Just Didn't Fit In Anywhere Else


  • The Discovery Channel A channel that will almost always capture your attention. You must be very, very careful when surfing by this site. It will occupy you for hours.
  • UPS Just in case you need to track a package, or if you're really bored you can track other people's packages.
  • CIA Every page on the net should have a link to the spook page. Something about a conspiracy or two.

  • The San Diego Union Tribune How could I not include my hometown newspaper.
  • The Why Files If you've ever asked why, then check this place out.

  • The Space Shuttle If you want to check out the shuttles, look here.
  • The Mars Pathfinder Mission You should look here to see the first steps in putting a man on Mars.

  • Dilbert Online One of the funniest comic strips around.



    I could not think of finishing without a tribute to the Imperial High Lord Emperor Zoltar, Ruler of the Legendary Immortals. The rest of you will know him as Bart. Soon to be here will be a picture of Her Eminence, The Exaluted High Priestess Zorina . I think everyone else will know her as Suzy Q. "the licker" Lokitz.
    If this site provoked a response of any kind, feel free to let me know. In fact, I might even enjoy a remark or two. But, a word of caution, if you flood me with your intelligent and well thought out ideas, I will terminate the entire free world's access to this site. Thank-you for your support.

    Oh yeah, here is the address: lokitsj@okra.millsaps.edu
