And they will remain long after we graduate and leave this phase of our lives be¬ hind. By accepting them as our own, we help to ensure that the legacies left by those who came before us will live on for generations beyond our time. At the same time, we add to the rich cul¬ ture of our campus by establishing legacies of our own. These experiences shape our existence at our home away from home. Kina? If excellence Whether we aspire to become nuclear physicists or kindergarten teachers, world-renowned playwrights or professional athletes, we choose to continue our educational journeys in order to further develop our natural abilities and to increase our knowledge so that we will be prepared for our futures in the real world. And as we grow, we, in turn, help the University grow through our per¬ sonal successes in the areas in which we, ourselves, excel. Excellence 5 5opride The sound of “Hard to be Humble” resounding through Reynolds Razorback Stadium after a vic¬ tory reminds us of what it means to be a Hog. Pride in our school is what makes us cheer with jubila¬ tion when we overcome adversity and what makes us hang our heads in the midst of defeat. No mat¬ ter how diverse we may be, when we join together in support of our school, we are all Razorbacks. 6 Opening ' ] k • 1 Pride % 7 College was a fresh start for each of us. A place to find ouselves and our place in the world. When we first arrived our freshman year, embarking on a new journey in a new place, we discovered all that our new home had to offer. And as we grew throughout our remaining years in Fayetteville, we lived life to the fullest. We learned to love this town ... our town. And while some of us had to eventually leave it behind, others chose to make it home forever. No matter how long we stayed, we truly experienced thelllll 8 Student Life L m In the midst of growth and change, UA reaches new heights in all areas of development, making a name for itself among top national universities Carolyn Finnie The University of Arkansas worked to increase both the size and quality of the student body and sought success on both counts. For the year 2005, the UA’s growing academic stature was exemplified by student accomplishment. These were the distinguishing facts that set the UA apart from any other nationally competitive institution of higher educa¬ tion, proving that we were ultimately moving toward advancement. Enrollment Enrollment at the UA set a new record for the Fall 2004 semester, a 5 percent increase from the record set a year ago. It was the first time the UA had surpassed the 17,000 stu¬ dent mark. 2004 Total Enrollment: 17, 269 Undergraduate: 13, 817 Graduate: 2,981 Law: 471 Freshman: 3,666 Sophomore: 2,906 Junior: 2,809 Senior: 3,743 In-state students: 13,957 Out-of-state students: 2,417 International students: 895 Women: 8,565 Men: 8,704 American Indian or Alaskan Native: 352 Asian or Pacific Islander: 458 African American: 981 International: 895 Latino or Hispanic: 298 Caucasian: 13,905 Not available: 380 Chancellor John A.

It took 15 tries before Arkansas was finally able to defeat the Tex¬ as Longhorns in 1933. However, it was not until the 1960s when heated competition only elevated the rivalry between the schools. Arkansas fans still grieved when reminded of the 1969 loss in “The Big Shootout,” when number one ranked Texas came from behind to defeat number two ranked Ar¬ kansas 15-14 in Fayetteville. This game determined the national champions and ultimately defined the ‘Homs and Hogs rivalry. The teams played each other annually for 60 years in the South¬ west Conference, making it one of the most competitive leagues in college football. Since Arkansas switched to the Southeastern Conference in 1991, Arkansas and Texas had met only twice. Once in the 2000 Cotton Bowl, when Arkansas won 27-6 and in the 2003 football season, when Arkansas stunned the crowd at the Darrell K. Royal Texas Me¬ morial Stadium with a 38-28 win. With so much at stake, Arkan¬ sas fans were ready for another victory when the ‘Horns came to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium for the second meeting of the two-game contract. As early as Wed. Sept. 8, 2004, students camped out in front of Gate 17 at the stadium to ensure front-row seats. They camped in the humid Arkansas weather and played cards to pass the time. “I slept outside the stadium be¬ cause I knew it would be a great game,” Brittney Ramirez said. “There is so much history behind Arkansas and Texas football.” The week leading up to the game featured many activities designed to build excitement and enthusi¬ asm across campus. And, the pep rally Thurs. Sept. 9, served as the ultimate spirit booster. “Wooo Pig Sooie” and the “Fight Song” could be heard for miles beyond the Chi Omega Greek Theatre. Cheerlead¬ ers, mascots, band members and fans alike donned the infamous “Beat Texas” T-shirts that came to symbolize the week. On Sept. 11, the Longhorns came to Fayetteville for the first time in 15 years for one of the most anticipated games in Razor- back football history. The Razor- backs took on the number seven ranked Longhorns but fell 22-20 in the final minutes of battle. Fans were silenced only as Arkansas was intercepted on the last play of the game. And consequently, the walk back up the hill was a long one. The game was also the 35 th an¬ niversary of the fateful 1969 game. Plans to commemorate the game were cancelled because of fans’ ob¬ jection to honor players from both 1969 teams on Arkansas’ field, as the planned celebration would have. Insead, Arkansas honored its 1964 team, which claims a dis¬ puted national championship, at halftime. Fans waited 15 years for the Longhorns to finally come back to Fayetteville. Fans waited in line all day before the game and spent as many as 18 hours at the stadium in the miserable Arkansas sun. And fans would have to patiently wait for the next matchup, not know¬ ing when that day would arrive. Despite the heartbreak, the en¬ ergy of the 75,671 fans at Razor- hack Stadium that night was un¬ paralleled, each fan witnessing 210 years of competitive tradition. •V l A student displays her take A dedicated Razorback fan on the Texas Longhorns at sleeps outside Donald the Pep Rally in a “Longhorn, Reynolds Stadium a day before ' it’s what’s for dinner!

Likewise, the terrorist attacks committed on Sept. 11, 2001 forever changed our genera¬ tion. It was a date etched into his¬ tory and a fateful memory forever embedded into our minds. We all remembered where we were, what we were doing, what thoughts raced through our minds while watching the horrific mo¬ ments unfold. These emotions forever set this date apart from any other. Three years had passed since thousands of lives were taken after the devastating terrorist attacks when students, faculty, alumni and the rest of the world sat in horror as the first of two planes crashed into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11. The acts of terror left Americans filled with disbelief, tremendous sorrow and unyielding anger. This year, the Arkansas-Texas game took place on the three-year anniversary of the attacks, provid¬ ing a time for reflecting on the past and looking ahead toward a brighter future. And the Razor- back Marching Band set out to do just that. To honor those who died in the attacks and those who had since died at war, the Razorback March¬ ing Band performed a commemo¬ ration show titled “In Memory of 9 11 01.” Prior to the game, F-16s flew over Donald W. Reynolds Stadium to kick off the show. At halftime, Arkansas soldiers repre¬ senting various military units who served time in Iraq and Afghani¬ stan stood on the field, and a mo¬ ment of silence was observed for the 12 fallen Arkansans lost to the war in the previous year. The entire performance required extensive practice and rehearsal. “Perfect timing was our big¬ gest concern,” Razorhack March¬ ing Band drum major and senior Charles Frazier said. “The script that was read had been written in such a way that big impact mo¬ ments in the music would line up with powerful moments in the script.” Band director Timothy Gunter said, “I believed that we had the obligation on the day of 9 11 to take our audience to a place of remembrance and reverence as we try to get them to focus on the memory of the lost, the bravery of our troops, and what they can do as Americans to help.” The Sept. 11 attacks gave Americans a sense of national uni¬ ty that they had not experienced for generations. And certainly, the impact of the anniversary perfor¬ mance greatly enhanced the spirit at the football game and brought back many emotions. “It was also our job to bring them back to the football game, the place they have chosen to be and the reason they are there that night,” Gunter said. “It is true that this is a serious show in that we are not only remembering a terrible time for our country, but honor¬ ing our soldiers and the thousands who lost their lives in this horrible tragedy.” “I was very pleased with the re¬ sult of the band’s hard work,” Fra¬ zier said. “There were moments just during rehearsals that really touched me and times where the entire band and our staff just knew that on game day we were going to do something very special.” The Razorback Marching Band set out to capture the pride of Americans and to honor our country. In turn, they not only re¬ stored students’ sense of unity but strengthened it. Students stood united in the stadium amongst our nation’s heroes.

Each year at the UA, the miser¬ able August heat, the never-end¬ ing staircases and the dilemma of how everything would fit in such a tiny living space plagued freshmen and upperclassmen alike as they headed to the UA for yet another year of classes, bringing each of them one step closer to the closing of this chapter of their lives. Whether it was an on-campus dorm or an off-campus apartment, parents were forced to say good¬ bye as they somehow found a way to smile and wave as their cars drove into the distance. Mean¬ while, their “babies” anxiously waited to settle in and begin the college experience. Residence halls opened for stu¬ dents on Aug. 19, 2004, marking the beginning of a terribly hectic few days for new students. Between unpacking, buying books, finding classes and making hundreds of trips to Wal-Mart, students hardly found time to sleep. One of the benefits of moving in early was the opportunity to meet other new students. Many students were eager to make new friends by helping oth¬ ers move in to the dorms. One such student was freshman Melissa Myers, who thought the move-in process was “overall pretty suc¬ cessful.” “Move-in seemed very well-or¬ ganized, although hauling boxes up and down the stairs wasn’t much fun,” Myers said. “The only problem was instructing parents where to park their cars.” After days of eager preparation, the arrival of the first day of classes on Aug. 23, 2004 marked the be¬ ginning of Welcome Week, a series of activities designed to encourage students to interact with one an¬ other, become connected to the campus and learn about student involvement opportunities. The Academic Convocation served as the official welcome for freshmen. This annual event was held at Bud Walton Arena. There was also a luau at Pomfret Honors Quarters, as well as a Wel¬ come Back Picnic. Freshmen learned to call the hogs at the annual freshman pep rally, which was held in the Greek Theater on Aug. 26, 2004- The resounding sounds of the band and the voices echoing across campus signaled to upperclassmen that the freshmen had arrived. By the end of Welcome Week, new students were finally settled in and filled with the Razorback spirit. Freshmen, who were required to live on-campus, learned the basics of college life during their time in the dorms: order pizza like a pro, sleep until dinnertime, wear show¬ er shoes, procrastinate at all costs. Despite complaints of cramped space and annoying roommates, the dorms provided an opportuni¬ ty for students to feel a part of the UA campus and to become one with the community. The dorms were more than just places to eat, sleep and study. They were a lifestyle. An unforgettable experience like no other. Two students and their fami¬ lies wait for help to arrive out¬ side Humphreys Hall during move-in week. Despite the hu¬ mid August heat, the move-in weekend went smoothly, and students were settled into the dorms just in time for classes to begin.

Various activites, including the annual Convocation and Burger Bash, were planned for students to help ring in the new semester and adjust to living on cam¬ pus.

The delicious barbeque lured many UA students to Dickson Street over the week¬ end in search of a change from the everday selections in Brough or the Union.

Live music blaring from the ampli ' fiers. Ribs basking in the afternoon sun. Once a year, UA students shared their domain and wel¬ comed hikers and bahes to gather on the Hill. Each fall, thousands of motor¬ cycle enthusiasts traveled from all across the nation, lining Dickson Street to see motorcycles, hear music and eat barbeque. The 5th Annual Bikes, Blues and BBQ Festival was held the weekend of Sept. 28, 2004 in Fay¬ etteville. The 620-mile ride started in Huntsville, Ala., continued to Memphis, Tenn. and ran through Branson, Mo. before groups finally arrived in Fayetteville on the last day of the event. Other motorcyclists began roll¬ ing into town on Wednesday to participate in the numerous events associated with the festival. The brightly shimmering hikes and leather-clad riders were not the typical sights among the week¬ end college crowd. These elements sent UA students swarming the Dickson area for quality entertain¬ ment of a different sort. U A students attempted to some¬ how fit in with the festival’s crowd as a means of gaining respect from the tough-looking visitors. Wom¬ en searched frantically for leather mini-skirts, while men tied hand¬ kerchiefs around their heads. If visitors were unable to find apparel before the weekend, there was no need to worry. On every corner, vendors set up shop, sell¬ ing everything from Harley David¬ son T-shirts to leather chaps and jackets. This year, special attractions Emily Milholen included stunt riders in the Globe of Death, and the Dyno Tester, a simulated track which measures a bike’s horsepower and other per¬ formance features. Other activities for bikers in¬ cluded the Poker Run, a parade from the Northwest Arkansas Mall to Dickson Street, as well as countless bike shows, contests and a ride to Arkansas’ wine region. Portions of the festival were even televised nationally, as The Discovery Channel’s program “Biker Build-off,” used the event to film the season’s last episode. Each builder was allotted ten days to assemble a custom motorcycle. The Bikes, Blues and BBQ fans were then given the task of voting for their favorite custom bike. The free festival grew from about 700 bikers in the first year to 25,000 this year, not to men¬ tion the 125,000 non-hikers that attended the festival. The size of the crowd was un¬ imaginable, considering the size of the Dickson area. As bikes lined the main streets closest to the events, spectators were forced to park what seemed like miles away. Without doubt, Bikes, Blues and BBQ offered something for every¬ one. Young or old, rich or poor, Harley, Chopper or moped, the festival bridged the gaps between generations and lifestyles. Dickson Street, the striking set¬ ting for the festival was surely one of the driving forces behind the event’s success. And although Dickson was al¬ ways a colorful place for UA stu¬ dents to roam, Bikes, Blues and BBQ brought extra flavor that everyone looked forward to each fall. Easy Rider 19 Northwest Quad opens, marking the completion of the first new residence hall since the 1960s Carolyn Finnie ♦ Laura Haynie ♦ Emily Milholen All 600 beds that accompanied the Northwest Quadrant housing complex were reserved within six hours on the first day of housing reservations. If nothing else, this fact told exactly how high the de¬ mand was to snatch a spot in the new dorm. The Northwest Quad was a multi-use suite-style facility con¬ sisting of four residence halls, a computer lab, faculty and staff apartments, classrooms, meeting rooms, lounges and a dining hall. The Quad, the first suite-style hall ever built at the UA, was also the first new residence hall to be constructed on the UA campus since Pomfret Hall was built in the late 1960s. Students had the option of liv¬ ing in two, three- or four-bedroom suites. And all students who lived in the Quad enjoyed many ameni¬ ties not typically found in on-cam- pus housing, some not even found off-campus. The complex also housed the new 380-seat dining hall, which featured market-style dining. But living the life of luxury al¬ ways came at a high price. Liv¬ ing costs for one year in the Quad totaled $4,865, ranking the new complex number one in living ex¬ penses on-campus, almost $1,700 more than what it cost to live in the second highest dorm, Greg- son. Even students who received Chancellor’s Scholarships were forced to pay out of their pockets if they wanted to live in style. However, for many students, the high price tag was worth the numerous features the dorm had to offer. “Living in the Quad is so conve¬ nient,” sophomore Clark Watson said. “It’s so nice to have a com¬ puter lab, a cafeteria and still be near the center of campus.” Living on-campus for the sec¬ ond year in a row, the Quad had everything Watson was looking for. luxuriousliving “It was either the Quad or off-cam¬ pus,” he The dorm featured private, said. locked bedrooms and closets, car¬ peted bedrooms and common ar¬ eas, telephone and ethernet con¬ nections in each room, and premier cable plans, including HBO. The three and four-bedroom suites even offered two bathrooms per unit. Another appeal was the fact that the building remained open all year, even during academic breaks, when the majority of other dorms were closed. The state-of-the-art facility was dedicated during a public ceremo¬ ny and ribbon cutting on Nov. 12, 2004. Despite the fuss over the loss of parking spaces during the con¬ struction process, the highly-an¬ ticipated completion of the Quad provided a stylish, architecturally pleasing addition to campus, and a new home for students wishing to remain on-campus. 20 Student Life The cafeteria connected to the The Quad is located on Maple Northwest Quad is able to ac- Street, next to the new Health comodate up to 380 people.

Eighty-two years of Homecom¬ ing pride ensured that each year’s celebration remained full of tradi¬ tion. The Student Alumni Board Homecoming Committee took on the task of organizing the week’s activities leading up to the Arkan- sas-Georgia game, in conjunction with the Arkansas Alumni Asso¬ ciation and various other Regis¬ tered Student Organizations. Festivities kicked off at the be¬ ginning of the week with a “Gril¬ lin’ the Dawgs” cookout in front of the Arkansas Union. Greek hous¬ es and residence halls competed in the “Sty’lize Your Lawn” contest, and eighty-four teams competed in the annual “Pig Skin Classic” flag football tournament. On the Thursday before the big game, the “Pig Pen Party” was held at George’s, as Arkansas’ most out¬ rageous fans competed for the ulti¬ mate title of the “Rowdy Fan.” Not all of the Homecoming events were about celebrating the Hogs. Homecoming also includ¬ ed a philanthropic cause, as 264 units of blood were donated to the American Red Cross through a campus-wide blood drive. The week culminated Friday with the annual “Hog Stampede Parade,” with members from 36 organizations riding floats down Dickson Street, despite the rain that eventually caused the cancel¬ lation of the scheduled pep rally. Drenched by the chilly downpour, cheerleaders, representatives from the Greek Houses and Residence Halls, the Homecoming Court and Tusk proudly marched in the parade. At halftime of the game, alumni cheerleaders and band members were present as the Homecoming Court was escorted across the field. The 2004 Homecoming Court was: Queen Megan Cardwell and her court, Rebekah Davis, Jamie Fotioo, Alexis Hurdle and Mar- lena Sweeney. “What an experience to walk down the 50-yard line in Donald W. Reynolds Stadium in front of around 70,000 people while repre¬ senting a university that means so much to you,” Jamie Fotioo said. Fotioo, whose mother was on the court in 1972, valued the tra¬ dition and honor of being nomi¬ nated for the 2004 court. “The University of Arkansas has a focus on tradition and pride,” Fo¬ tioo said. “I think the largest part of Homecoming Week concerns gathering alumni and current stu¬ dents together to celebrate the great institution that is the UA.” Although the Razorbacks fell to the Bulldogs 20-14, Razorback spirit remained visible across cam¬ pus. And the enthusiastic alumni showed students that neither time nor age would diminish the pride and spirit of a true Razorback. Coming Home 23 Carolyn Finnie 24 Student Life AtLkY Vw YW As part of the ROCK Camp ses¬ sion, freshmen take part in a rafting trip on the Illinois River. The rafting trip was one of the many activities designed to help students meet one an¬ other before move-in day in August. Courtesy Photo ROCK Camp provides chance for new students to meet others and adjust to college life Carolyn Finnie Being accepted to college was no easy task. And even more dif¬ ficult were the challenges facing incoming freshmen once they ar¬ rived: meeting new people, adjust¬ ing to the freedom and finding a balance between school and play. ROCK Camp, a division within the First Year Experience program, was designed to help incoming students become acclimated to the college lifestyle. ROCK Camp, which stands for Razorback Outreach for Commu¬ nity Knowledge, was founded in 2002 in response to the student re¬ tention problem between first- and second-year students. The UA’s goal of raising the retention per¬ centage was focused around FYE. FYE looked at model programs across the country and developed ROCK Camp as an opportunity to reach out to new students. As a result, the UA’s retention rate had increased 15 percent. Although the first ROCK Camp trip in 2002 drew only 67 students, approximately 500 students at¬ tended the camps that took place in two sessions prior to the begin¬ ning of the 2004 fall semester, on Aug. 10 and 11 and Aug. 20 and 21 in Welling, Okla. Most stu¬ dents were incoming freshmen; however, the program was open to transfer students, as well. “Over time, FYE would like to serve the whole freshman class.” said senior Kelsey Bunker, assis¬ tant director of ROCK Camp. At ROCK Camp, students learned tips for having a success¬ ful college experience through a series of lectures on stress, time management and career choices and presentations by motivational speakers. Their experiences during the two-day sessions also gave new students the opportunity to learn about the UA tradition. Students also participated in a rafting trip on the Illinois River. “Some students aren’t success¬ ful their first year in college, and Rock Camp provides an oppor¬ tunity to interact not only with other incoming students but also with faculty and upperclassmen to help and inform the students,” said Shailen Singh, associate director of FYE and ROCK Camp. The most challenging obstacles students learned to overcome at ROCK Camp were “the transi¬ tion of leaving your home and the shock of coming into interacting with others,” Bunker said. “Not only can students build friendships with other incom¬ ing students but also learn inside tricks to being successful,” Singh said. “Students can develop rela¬ tionships and learn traditions, in¬ stilling a sense of pride in being a Razorback.” Beyond the ROCK Camp ex¬ perience, FYE also offered classes as electives to freshmen. These classes were taught by professors throughout the campus’ colleges and departments. They were de¬ signed as a means of offering as¬ sistance throughout new students’ first year at the UA, building on the foundations that were laid at ROCK Camp. Core elements included time management and health. As the size of the incoming class grew each year, FYE helped to en¬ sure a successful transition for all.

With anticipation and emotion running high, students gathered with friends and tuned their tele¬ visions to the news channels. The campus was on fire - divided down the middle in terms of who should win, but in agreement on the fact that all students should be in¬ volved. For many stu¬ dents, 2004 was the first major election in which they could vote. So perhaps the desire to perform their patriotic duty was many students’ driving force. But even more than that, students were concerned about the state of our country and the direction in which it was headed. Some students believed in and supported President Bush and his plan for our nation, while many other students believed it was time for a change. But regardless of political af¬ filiation, one thing was certain: students at the UA were passion¬ ate, involved and interested in the 2004 election. For weeks prior to the arrival of Election Day, stu¬ dents encouraged one another to become involved, to help deter¬ mine the future of America - to vote. The campus embraced the elec¬ tion and made it as painless as possible for students to participate in the process. Months before the election, student organizations set up booths on campus reminding students to register to vote and providing the necessary forms to make the task simple and fast. The Democracy on Wheels pro¬ gram went even further to ease the burden of getting to the polls that on-campus students sometimes faced. The program ran buses be¬ tween campus and the Washing¬ ton County Courthouse and was a big hit with members of the on- campus population who wanted to vote early and evade the long lines on Election Day. election’ ’04 The political spirit was alive on the UA campus far beyond the realm of encouraging voter partici¬ pation. The Young Democrats and College Republicans held political debates prior to the election and watch parties on Election Night. The Associated Student Gov¬ ernment even conducted a mock election, in which John Kerry won by a narrow margin - 623 students for Kerry; 548 for Bush, showing exactly how divided the student body actually was. And when it was all said and done, and the final votes were counted, the campus was just as divided as when it had all began. While some students celebrated President Bush’s victory, others cried. And the following day as students watched Kerry concede and Bush accept another term in office, the campus was quiet. The sense of division was more apparent than ever - the campus mocked the torn nation. And stu¬ dents’ faces, both the joyful and the somber, said what words could not express.

On any given night, the famil¬ iar faces of friends and classmates could be found in any number of bars or restaurants in the area. The street, unique to the UA commu¬ nity, served as a place to relax and take a break from the stresses of student life. The downtown area was home to a unique blend of restaurants, bars and retail venues. A visitor could buy shoes at Flying Possum or Snap Dragon, grab a cup of cof¬ fee at Common Grounds, see a play at the Walton Arts Center, swing by U.S. Pizza for a slice, sing karaoke at Uno Uno’s or have a brewski at Brewski’s. Even the commercial bank, Bank of Fayetteville, converted the old train station for use as a branch in the area. The bank transformed their branch as a means of conforming to the charm of Dickson Street. However, it was apparent that Fayetteville’s downtown area ex¬ perienced a rebirth. New buildings were being constructed alongside the renovated 19th century build¬ ings that were being converted into restaurants, boutiques and antique shops. More and more, alumni returned to visit, only to find that the venues they loved had been replaced. Most recently, Dickson Street suffered a loss after the demise of two long-standing live music ven¬ ues that attracted many UA stu¬ dents. Dave’s on Dickson closed, while Chester’s Place transformed into the swanky cocktail bar, Stir, which does not provide live mu¬ sic. Adjacent to Stir, the former fa¬ vorite restaurant, Ozark Brewing Co., reopened as the Hog Haus Brewing Co. At the end of Dickson, Jerry’s Restaurant, the long-time favorite breakfast diner closed after many years of service to Razorback fans. Just a couple of blocks over, the Square offered unique charm as well. The historic core of down¬ town Fayetteville, the Square was home to noteworthy sights such as the Old Washington County Courthouse and Jail and the his¬ toric Walker-Stone House, the oldest home in Fayetteville. On the Square, Sodie’s Foun¬ tain and Grill opened in the for¬ mer post office building that previ¬ ously housed Hog City. Undoubtedly, the downtown area and Dickson Street were the most unique parts of Fayetteville, home to countless symbols of Ra¬ zorback tradition. As Fayetteville continued to experience more growth, high-rise buildings, upscale apartment lofts, restaurants, retail shops and offic¬ es were sure to appear. The town could become a suburbia, full of shopping centers and strip malls, but the only reminders of Fayette¬ ville’s historic charm would be found on Dickson Street and the Square. 30 Student Life Two new venues on Dickson, Hog Haus Brewing Co. and Stir are already popular with the student crowd. Although many student hang-outs on Dickson closed during the year, new restaurants and bars had the potential to become the new favorites.

While many students played just for fun, others took the game seriously and set the stakes high. F hoto courtesy of the Arkansas Traveler Many students turn to gambling as a means of entertainment and an easy way to make money Carolyn Finnie ♦ Emily Milholen All a student needed to buy-in was $5. Some bluffing skills would come in handy too, that was if winning was in order. And from there, if the cards fell right and the stars lined up just so, a student could potentially live off of the proceeds from a single night at the poker table - gas, food, the week¬ end - the game of chance could pay for it all. The chips were stacked high as UA students spent hours burning holes in their pockets, setting aside homework in favor of playing their hand at one of many variations of the age-old game. Poker tournaments were held at greek houses, apartments and dorm rooms alike. Even Grubs had a weekly poker tournament. And although there were many varia¬ tions, Texas Hold ‘Em became the mainstream poker game across our campus, largely because of the game’s rising level of media expo¬ sure. The fascination of winning money as well as bragging rights through this game of both luck and skill were the driving forces behind the undying poker craze. Hold ‘Em was an old game with rising popularity. The craze be¬ came evident when the UA held campus-wide intramural Hold ‘Em tournaments in October. The game was also all the rage at the Friday Night Live event, Casino Night, sponsored by the office of Student Involvement and Leader¬ ship and the Resident’s Interhall Congress. Heightened attention on televi¬ sion brought the game into Ameri¬ can homes on a weekly, sometimes even nightly, basis. Students stud¬ ied players in tournaments tele¬ vised on ESPN, The Travel Chan¬ nel and Bravo, hoping to improve their game hy carefully watching the pros. The influence of the Internet also helped in boosting the game’s popularity with students. Serious players learned to hone their pok¬ er skills by playing in online poker tournaments. In this case, students only needed a credit or debit card number to challenge online play¬ ers from all over the world. Gambling allowed students two luxuries - luxuries that typically could not be found in the same place. The sport gave students time to relax, to socialize, to take a break from the monotony of go¬ ing to classes and cramming for tests. But even more importantly, many students opted to play for the possibility of winning some easy money. After all, not many UA students were lucky enough to find jobs they enjoyed as much as sitting around the kitchen ta¬ ble playing cards until five in the morning. It was a hobby, the game of choice for many students at the UA. And on any given night, somebody would win - and some¬ body would lose. For the winners, it often meant dinner out instead of Brough, rent for the next month or an extra night on the town. And for the losers, one could only hope that the money lost was set aside for entertainment rather than for rent or gas. Whatever the outcome, stu¬ dents played on. The unpredict¬ able nature of the game kept play¬ ers coming back for more. Risky Business 33 34 Student Life chc;y thrills Thursday nights amounted to all play and no work for students who looked forward to the cheap deals on Dickson Street Thursday night had finally ar¬ rived. Your first class Friday was at 8:30 a.rn. and you had a five-page paper due at 11:30. Where were you? Most likely, you were not pulling an all-nighter at the Union computer lab or even researching at Mullins. As it was common in many col¬ lege towns, the trend of going out on Thursday night was no differ¬ ent here in Fayetteville. Always on a quest for the best nightlife, UA students found trendy spots to catch a break from the monotony of their school week by going out Thursday nights ... or just about any other school night for that matter. Many students headed to Dick¬ son Street on Thursdays to kick off their weekend and to take advan¬ tage of the great deals. Whether it was $1 drafts at George’s, Ladies Night at Gypsy or College Night at Big Daddy’s, students swarmed Dickson Street looking for the best bang for their buck. And they were sure to find it only seconds away from campus. As bar owners searched for ways to increase revenues, the deals they offered enticed students to begin their weekends one night early. “There was always a party on Thursday nights, guaranteed,” Austin Kassler said. “Dickson Street was the place to be really any night of the week.” Dickson venues also provided a great place to listen to live mu¬ sic throughout the week. Local bands such as Six Hung Sprung and Lucero, and more recognized artists like Pat Green, Cross Ca¬ nadian Ragweed and Ingram Hill played at venues such as Dickson Street Theatre, George’s Majes¬ tic Lounge, The Gypsy and J.R.’s Lightbulb Club. Some students selected one weeknight to visit a favorite spot, while others frequented the hot spots much more often. Perhaps the largest crowd on any given Thursday night could be found at Willy D’s Dueling Piano Bar for $1 mug night. Students crowded the bar with 64 oz. mugs from Wal-Mart, well worth their $3 price. The only stipulations were containers had to have handles and could not have spouts. Senior Ruth McGinnis was one student who kept going back to Willy D’s on Thursday nights, spe¬ cifically for the mug night special. “I went out a lot of Thursday nights, pretty much for the $1 mug night at Willy D’s,” she said. Starting the weekend early may have seemed irresponsible to some, but ingenius to other. Most stu¬ dents learned how to have fun and still somehow manage their time over the course of each week. It was not uncommon for UA students to schedule all of their classes Monday through Thursday to ensure a free Friday and, in short, a three-day weekend. Those with that advantage not only used it for their late nights and sleep-filled mornings but also to accomplish tasks, errands and homework. And while everyone on campus dreaded the arrival of yet another Monday, students graciously went to their classes, at least for the first four days of the week, wait¬ ing for Thursday night to roll back around. And when that anxiously- awaited night finally arrived, UA students always found their friends and classmates on Dickson, re¬ peating the neverending cycle of Thursday night in a college town. Cheap Thrills 35 Carolyn Finnie Opening of Pat Walker Health Center and Harmon Avenue Parking Facility marks new phase of growth for UA community Carolyn Finnie As the UA planned for devel- opment and growth in both the immediate and distant future, two brand new facilities opened, serving students, faculty and staff while, at the same time, enhanc¬ ing the campus. The Pat Walker Health Cen¬ ter was a multi-service collegiate health care facility. The health center was made possible by a gen¬ erous gift from the Willard and Pat Walker Charitable Foundation. The 36,000-square-foot facility was 80 percent larger than the old building. fmeadditions The center was constructed to house the Primary Medical Clinic, Women’s Health Clinic, Coun¬ seling and Psychological Services (CAPS), Health Promotion and Education Services, Allergy Im- munization Clinic, Clinical Labo¬ ratory Services, Radiological Ser¬ vices and a pharmacy for use by all members of the OA commu¬ nity. Additionally, the new facility housed a health education multi¬ purpose room which was used for classes, workshops, programs and informal gatherings. “A key University of Arkansas goal is to enroll 22,500 students by the year 2010,” Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Johnetta Cross Brazzell said. “With that increased enrollment, the need for an ex¬ panded health center that’s easily accessible by all members of our campus community and more on- campus housing options is even greater.” Upon completion, the facil¬ ity was dedicated Nov. 12, dur¬ ing a public ceremony held in the Elizabeth Phillips Stewart Atrium. Speakers at the dedication and rib¬ bon cutting were UA system pres¬ ident Alan Sugg, Gary George, chairman of the UA Board of Trustees, UA Chancellor John A. White and other UA officials and students. Following the ceremony, guests were led on a guided tour, and por¬ tions of each facility were open for public viewing. Another addition to the campus started when construction began March 10, 2003, on the Harmon Avenue Parking Facility, the new south parking deck on campus. Upon com¬ pletion, the n ine- le ve 1 concrete fa¬ cility housed well over 2,000 cars. The capacity of the facility eased the ever-present parking problem on campus. The garage used a post-tension type construction, with heights of over 11 feet in most places, and an open-center shaft to provide opportunities for additional light and ventilation. The construction included three elevators and a two-story transit facility, complete with ground-level lease space for retail and commercial develop¬ ment. The south campus parking deck was one of three decks planned for completion by 2010. All three decks were needed to provide in¬ creased parking for faculty, staff and students for the planned growth of campus and to compensate for the removal of surface parking lots close to the campus for future aca¬ demic and residential facilities. Amidst the shaking buildings and resounding explosions during the periods of construction, stu¬ dents were overall pleased with the end results, especially the so¬ lution to the parking congestion. 36 Student Life r cuts the ribbon at the dedication ceremony for the Pat Walker Health Center in November.

More than ever, this was a year of health consciousness. Even though students said proper eating and adequate ex¬ ercise seemed to be more easily attained at school rather than at home, students faced plenty of ob¬ stacles on-campus that prevented them from effectively achieving health goals. The lure of fast food as the re¬ sult of limited dining hall hours and repetitive food selection cou¬ pled with video games and late- night cramming sessions led some students toward inactive and un¬ healthy lifestyles. On-campus students had to learn to choose the healthier foods offered at the cafeterias rather than the pizza, hamburgers and fries of¬ fered every lunch and dinner. Lunch was especially a problem for off-campus students, for which the Union Food Court was practi¬ cally the only option. Diets such as Atkins, South Beach and TrimSpa became syn¬ onymous with the latest health and diet trends that consumed some student’s lives, especially with the ever-present trend to shed the pounds for a New Year’s resolution. For physical activity, the HPER offered a free pla ce for students to lift weights and run on treadmills. The building provided state- of-the-art exercise equipment and other fitness services seven days a week. The HPER had a large fitness center with multiple cardiovascu¬ lar machines, a wide variety of free and machine weights, an indoor track, basketball and racquetball courts and an Olympic-sized swim¬ ming pool. The best part about the HPER, besides its state-of-the-art equip¬ ment and wide variety of activities, was that it was free to students. All students needed were their student IDs to enjoy almost everything the HPER had to offer free-of-charge. The Intramural Recreational Sports Program also offered a va¬ riety of activities designed to en¬ courage students to become more active. The program had several program areas designed to meet the recreational needs of students, including fitness wellness, intra¬ mural sports, outdoor connections and special events. Specific to those who wished to become more active through exer¬ cise, the fitness wellness program provided opportunities and assis¬ tance to participants who wanted to be involved in a personal exer¬ cise program. The program helped participants develop habits for healthy life¬ styles. “Stay¬ ing active is important to me,” Brian Hirshy said. “I exercise about three times a week and race mountain hikes.” Whether it was lifting weights, playing raquetball or taking a pi- lates class, New Year’s resolutions, holiday weight gain and spring break plans motivated students to hit the gym. With holiday indul¬ gence looming over their heads and summer creeping closer, stu¬ dents were always eager to get in better shape, and the HPER, with its convenient location and free access, was the perfect place to do just that. hperactive 38 O Student Life Senior Jackson Purcell works the weight resistance machine at the HPER fit¬ ness center.

The OCC offered every¬ thing from climbing and boulder- ing walls to weekend adventures, clinics and equipment rental. Rock climbing became an in¬ creasingly popular sport among UA students because of the overall mental and physical challenge this thrilling adventure gave them. On weeknights, students head¬ ed down the hill for a try at the OCC’s 2,000-square-foot climbing wall, complete with 13 stations that kept climbers of all levels challenged and entertained. Adjacent to the rock wall was the bouldering wall, a sport in which no harness or ropes were required. All climbing equipment, including harnesses, belay devices and climbing shoes, were available for check-out at the wall at no ad¬ dition al cost. At the OCC, students learned the fundamentals of climbing and met others who shared their pas¬ sion for the outdoors. “I started climbing around a year-and-a-half ago with my friend Patrick Moss who now works for the climbing wall,” sophomore Jon Champagne said. And the OCC was not only limited to the climbing walls. Stu¬ dents participated in weekend trips and even week-long trips spon¬ sored by the center. A backpack¬ ing trip along the Buffalo River Trail had students hiking 20 miles in one weekend to see the beauty that this scenic wonder had to of- fer.The center also offered alterna¬ tives to typical spring break trips, including one at the Great Smoky Mountains near Elkmont, N.C. If students didn’t have the nec¬ essary equipment for the ourdoors, the OCC offered the option of renting camping, sporting and water sporting equipment - every¬ thing from tents to canoes, wet suits and disk golf sets. “They offer the best deals for students who need equipment for camping,” Champagne said. “I always get tents, bags or anything else from there.” For those who enjoyed going outdoors for their fitness needs, the OCC offered a variety of classes, activities and equipment to help students enjoy a positive outdoor experience. Clinics, such as the kayak roll clinic, the fly fishing seminar and the lead climbing clinic, en¬ abled students to hone their skills and encouraged them to use this knowledge outdoors. With his experience, Cham¬ pagne found many great places to climb and practice. “There are also some fun places close to town, like Devil’s Den, where you can find some fun plac¬ es to boulder,” he said. Ultimately, the OCC arranged for students to experience the thrill of rock climbing and other outdoor activities, such as back¬ packing, white-water rafting and camping opportunities, all while encouraging students to stay fit. “The OCC is great ... the staff is very personable, and they get to know you by name pretty quickly,” Champagne said. “It is one of the few places on campus where I can hangout and feel at home with a lot of people, some I don’t even know.” Through workshops, clinics and back-country trips, students mas¬ tered the skills necessary to safely enjoy all that Mother Nature had to offer.

Photo by Vance Green 42 t ; Student Life Students juggle local part-time jobs and class to pay the bills and earn some extra spending money Carolyn Finnie While countless students worked their way through college as mall employees and waiters, other stu¬ dents found more creative and un¬ usual ways to earn money. Many students found that sticking with their part-time gigs would help them when it came time to start their careers. Senior Jackson Yandell had worked at Jimmy John’s Gour¬ met Subs on Dickson Street since it first opened in January 2003. Working two-to-three nights per week required excellent time man¬ agement skills. “It can be a little challenging to juggle school and a job, but it teaches you discipline and keeps you moving,” Yandell said. “Plus, the money’s worth it.” Indeed, the money was usu¬ ally worth it, for any kind of job. Students were eager to accept just about anything for some extra money, even including the dona¬ tion of plasma. Plasma advertise¬ ments could be found weekly in the Arkanas Traveler, complete with coupons for students to bring. In general, students burned holes in their pockets, spending money ever so quickly. Expenses constantly added up. Managing money seemed like an easy task, yet it proved to be one of much difficulty. According to Harris Interac¬ tive’s “360 College Outlook Ex¬ plorer Study,” the average college student had about $287 to spend on discretionary items (anything other than tuition, books, room and board) per month, or about $3,444 per year. Overall, students spent more than $11 billion a year on snacks and beverages and $4 billion on personal care products. In addition to those figures, students spent $3 billion on CDs and DVDs, a large portion of their spending money. If anything, money and time were two things students had to learn to manage on their own. “When I first started there, I lived in an apartment and the job helped pay the rent,” Yandell said. “Now I live on-campus, and I’ve just got that much more spending money.” Yandell said he would never consider getting another job. “I take a lot of pride in the fact that I work in one of the cleanest and fastest restaurants in the city.” Working on Dickson Street, es¬ pecially the late shift required a lot of patience and good people skills. Plenty of students made their way to Jimmy John’s after a night out on Dickson Street for some se¬ rious sandwiches. “We stay open until 3 a.m., and you have to work hard but be cool about things to deal with people on Dickson Street that late,” he said. Great people skills were impera¬ tive for Yandell’s job. “Plus, with the wide variety of people in this town, the job is per¬ fect for my personality,” he said. As with most students, Yandell had to face the fact that he would have to leave his job behind upon graduation. “When I finish school and leave Fayetteville this fall, it will be hard to leave Jimmy John’s behind,” he said. Yandell spent the majority of his college career working at Jim¬ my John’s. He was lucky enough to have found a part-time job he tru¬ ly enjoyed, where he could meet great people and earn money. And a job like that was hard to come by. Whether it was changing dia¬ pers at a daycare or driving a zam- boni, students found their niche in part-time jobs, allowing them a break from classes and some extra cash too. Balancing Act 43 44 Student Life ! Various on-campus jobs give students the opportunity to cut the ever-rising costs of tuition, room and board Wood Si 30 s Afr Hockey StuaDoak Basketball 1 Arts Crafts | Your Own Haste CD « T a«bieweedRlde a Sophomore Marlane Barnes hangs up posters on her floor in Holcombe Hall where she was a resident assistant. Be¬ ing an RA in a residence hall had numerous perks, including free room and board, a meal plan and a yearly stipend. Photo by Sophia Keene Carolyn Finnie As tuition and living expenses continually increased, UA stu- dents constantly pursued ways in which they could fund their edu¬ cations. The estimated tuition based on a typical resident undergraduate student taking 15 credit hours per semester averaged to $2,057.25 for Fall 2004, according to the U A Of¬ f ice of the Treasurer website. The average tuition for an out-of-state student was $5,702.25. Estimated room and board was $2,567.25 for an in-state student and $6,212.25 for non-residents. And that was just one semester. In addition, student fees, park¬ ing, books, supplies and personal expenses certainly added up and multiplied each semester. Students turned to financial aid, loans, scholarships and work-study programs to help pay for their edu¬ cation. Various work-study jobs allowed students to earn extra money that could be paid directly for institutional charges such as tuition, room and board and vari¬ ous additional fees. Sophomore Marlane Barnes de¬ cided to become a resident assis¬ tant in Holcombe Residence Hall because of the funding benefits and the fact that it was “a great way to meet new people and get involved on campus.” A resident assistant scholarship included a single room in the par¬ ticular residence hall, a meal plan, a resident reserved parking space and a stipend ranging from $500 to $600 for the year. Becoming an RA was a great way to help fund educational costs and be involved at the same time. “Mainly, I was concerned that 1 wouldn’t have time to do the job and keep up with classes, hut so far it hasn’t gotten in the way,” Barnes said. “We do get single rooms and a meal plan, as well as a small sti¬ pend - around $500 for the year.” Resident assistant duties includ¬ ed providing a sense of community for residents on the floor, working at the front desk of the hall and helping residents adjust to college life. “I’ve really enjoyed being at Holcombe this year, and I intend to stay for next year,” she said. With hourly wages, students that sought on-campus employ¬ ment had numerous options from which they were able to choose. Some of the highest-paid work- study jobs included assisting with research projects and working in various office buildings. Other employment possibilities could be found in the on-cam- pus convience stores, Mullins Li¬ brary, the Razorback Shop and the Union Bookstore. Any of these options provided a convenient place of employment that offered excellent benefits for UA students to enjoy. “I can go straight from work to class and don’t have to worry with travel time or spend forever try¬ ing to find a parking spot,” Debra Reece, senior art education ma¬ jor, said. “All I have to do is walk across campus rather than having to drive across town. That is really convenient.” In addition to the matter of convenience and the assistance in earning money, work-study jobs also helped students in terms of their future goals and plans. Such job opportunities provided excel¬ lent ways to help build resumes and make important career con¬ nections. The contacts work-study students were able to make proved to be truly beneficial as graduation approached. Even though on-campus jobs were limited to the number of po¬ sitions available, the benefits of working in the environment that one would inhabit for their many years at college were endless. Employment Perks 45 Carolyn Finnie foolin’aroimd A group of students try their hands at pranks for amusement in the dorms All that was needed were a few stolen bundles of newspapers, three rolls of duct tape, good company and a lot of time on their hands. Humphreys’ residents George Ngundue, Payton Garner, Newton Lewis and Jacob Hohnbaum set out one Tuesday night to create what they thought was the most extreme prank of the semester. Covering one of the bathrooms of their residence hall in newspa¬ per was just one of the pranks they did over the course of the year. The four friends spent a good two hours meticulously unfolding and spreading each section of the newspaper on the floor and taping the rest on the walls and doors, fully anticipating the reactions of fellow friends. Not an inch of the bathroom could be seen when the four were finished. The mastermind behind the prank was sophomore Ngundue. The prank came to him one day when he was searching for some¬ thing to do on a website. “I saw pranks like this on Col- legehumor.com, and I just modi¬ fied it,” he said. Collegehumor.com was the ul¬ timate college student’s website. Students could find anything from hilarious pictures and articles to great ideas for pranks. Some of the best pranks for dorms were listed on the website. For instance, a student could lean a large bucket of water against a door, knock and run away. The unsuspecting victim opens the door to a flood of water. Another exceptional prank was titled “cups.” In this trick, one must gain access to the victim’s room. The prankster then starts at a corner opposite the door and places cups of water until the en¬ tire floor of the room is covered. The victim will enter the room and have to pick up each cup. None of the pranksters consid¬ ered themselves to be masters at this art, but they admitted to some pretty good ones. “The best prank I’ve even done was taking out the lighting fixtures in the bathroom of one of my pro¬ fessors in India,” Lewis said. The joksters pulled the prank off without any distraction from other floormates or resident assistants. After finishing the work, the foursome waited around, antici¬ pating the reactions from their fel¬ low floormates. Their resident assistant, sopho¬ more Neil Wright, was not shocked so much at the prank, but at the sheer time it took to tape newspa¬ per over every inch of the walls. One hallmate came in shortly after with a toothbrush and tooth¬ paste. He smirked, looked around and left the bathroom to brush his teeth in another one on the floor. Other residents were more surprised than confused. Some laughed for a while and started brainstorming ideas for pranks of their own. Overall, the joksters agreed that they got the response they had hoped for and basked in the amusement of not getting caught. “Even if we have to take it down, it was still a lot of fun,” Gar¬ ner said. The various pranks and mis¬ chievous interchanges between students on campus was a fun way to break the monotony of every¬ day college life. With nothing but energy to burn, time to kill and a sense of humor, students in the residence halls filled the nights with various pranks on unsuspecting friends and neighbors. 46 Student Life — Sophomore Parker Davis walks in the fbathroom, shocked by what he sees.

With the new online registration system, students agreed that adding and dropping classes became much easier. Photo by Sophia Keene 4 8 Student Life Students say goodbye to Hogcall and adjust to ISIS, an online information and registration system Carolyn Finnie “Welcome to Hogcall at the University of Arkansas. Please en¬ ter your 4-digit PIN number.” Most students were relieved that they would never have to hear this phrase again after the UA made the switch to an online informa¬ tion database in 2004- UA replaced the old student in¬ formation systems, SAFARI and Hogcall, with the Integrated Stu¬ dent Information System (ISIS). Never before had students been able to drop and add classes or check grades and re¬ quirements so easily. The system soft¬ ware was developed by PeopleSoft, the world’s second largest provider of enterprise application software. It was an en- titiy of Campus Solutions, a com¬ prehensive suite of software spe¬ cifically designed for the changing needs of higher education institu¬ tions, according to the PeopleSoft website. With IS IS, UA students ac¬ cessed admissions and recruitment data, scholarship awards and finan¬ cial aid. Fees paid by students, stu¬ dent housing, registration, grades and graduation requirements were also handled by the software sys¬ tem. Also, UA faculty, staff and alumni with appropriate security privileges had Internet access to academic and financial informa¬ tion on students’ accounts. The implementation of ISIS impacted students by noting po¬ tential changes to policies and procedures. The transition had been a collaborative process start¬ ing with campus involvement in the software during the Spring 2004 semester when students were first introduced to the system. ISIS saved many of the semester headaches that registration always induced. “It’s very easy to navigate, the way it shows the steps you’ve tak¬ en to get to where you are ... kind of like Explorer,” sophomore Seth Kleman said. Most students appreciated that all information was at the click of a mouse, including the course catalog online. “I like the fact that it has the catalog of studies, my class sched¬ ule and the academic schedule all in one place,” sophomore Kris Zi- bert said. systemSwitch Thus far, ISIS had worked ad¬ equately as a tool for registration. The days when students needed a course catalog and a course de¬ scription book to understand which classes they were signing up for and what textbooks they would need were gone. ISIS was expanded and made more efficient in order to become the effective replacement of the old registration system. The UA switched to ISIS to survive and grow in today’s rapidly changing, intensely competitive environ¬ ment, with the ultimate goal of greater success in the future, ac¬ cording to the ISIS handbook. “It’s much easier than Hogcall,” Kleman said. “ISIS is capable of handling all our information.” The system truly made registra¬ tion an easy, one-stop process and aided in easing the frustrations of the previous analog system. With all of the new features ISIS had to offer, there was little doubt that students missed the 4:30 a.m. calls, the neverending busy signal and the unforgettable message,“Welcome to Hogcall at the University of Arkansas.” System Switch 49 A day in the life of Tonilee Watson, a non- traditional student, graduating senior and mother of two Dressed in a black blazer and khaki pants, non-traditional se¬ nior Tonilee Watson took a break from her hectic twenty, hour day. A non-traditonal student was defined as a student with one of the following characteristics: 25- years-old or older, single parent, interrupted education, married, without a high school diploma, has dependents, works full-time or financially independent. Watson, who was a full-time student, wife and working mother of two, defi¬ nitely fit the bill. A self-proclaimed “t-shirt and jeans kinda girl,” Watson was dressed up for a class presentation. After spending time waiting tables and taking courses, Watson was simply “tired of working on her feet,” she said. So, Watson decided to go back to school and earn her bachelor’s degree. As an administrative manage¬ ment major, Watson crammed all of her classes into Tuesday Thurs¬ day so she could have a job on the other three days. “I have to schedule all my class¬ es back to back on Tuesdays and Thursdays to allow time for work and home,” she said. Most nights, Watson only man¬ aged to get around four hours of sleep between classes, homework, working a part-time job and rais¬ ing two children. On a normal day, Watson woke up at 5:45 a.m. each morning and grabbed a cup of coffee before her daugters, a ten-year-old and a thir¬ teen-year-old, woke up. She then helped her daughters get ready for school. Before her classes started, Wat¬ son spent time on the computers in the Office of Non-Traditional and Commuter students. She was the president of Alpha Lambda Sigma, a national honor society for non-traditional stu- Carolyn Finnie dents. In this organization, stu¬ dents had to maintain 12 hours each semester and earn a 3.0 G.P.A. The organization recognized the special achievements of adults who accomplished academic ex¬ cellence while facing competing interests of home and work. The honor society was brought back to the UA this year by Wat¬ son, who saw a need for students like herself to be recognized for their accomplishments. “It is hard for [non-traditional students] to do all we do and still keep good grades,” she said. Her duties included contacting those who qualified for the society and hosting an induction ceremo¬ ny and banquet. “I took on more responsibility because I was proud to recognize the students and their achieve¬ ments,” she said. Between classes, Watson had just enough time to grab a quick snack before heading to another lecture and more note-taking. After class ended at 3:20 p.m., Watson typically had group meet¬ ings afterwards for the Walton College of Business. “I do most of my studying at home. The business school requires many group projects, so most of my time on campus is spent meeting with groups and group work, usu¬ ally in the BA,” she said. She then went home to cook dinner and work on homework and papers until usually around 1:00 a.m. Upon graduation, Watson hoped to become involved in a management training program to gain more experience. She also considered graduate school. For fun, Watson enjoyed spend¬ ing time with her daughters. Their favorite activities included going to the park, the library and Wat¬ son’s parents’ farm. Watson, an adminis¬ trative management major, studies outside the Union af¬ ter her classes are done for the day. Her day began at 5:45 a.m. and continued until 1:00 a.m., balancing school, a job, homework and raising her two daughters. Watson graduated in the spring of 2005.

Courtesy Photo UA community bands together, embracing neighbors across the seas by working to meet their needs in time of devastation Jill Griffin worldwideaid A devastating natural disaster that occurred around the world had tremendous effects not only on UA students, faculty and staff, hut the entire world as well. On Dec. 26,2004, a massive undersea earthquake and follow¬ ing tsunami waves devastated the shores of South Asia and East Af¬ rica. The 9.0 magnitude earthquake formed off the west coast of Northern Sumatra between the Burma and India plates and formed tsunami waves that killed well over 250,000 people, destroyed homes, caused landslides and mud volcano eruptions. UA students banded together on campus to raise money for relief efforts and to provide support to those students who may have lost family members in the tsunami. Approximately 280 UA stu¬ dents from the 10 countries were affected by the tsunami, said Au- dra Johnson, assistant director of International Students and Schol¬ ars. Associated Student Govern¬ ment Vice-President Hunter Riley and ASG Philanthropy chair An¬ drew Humphreys organized “Pass the Pig,” an event that both enter¬ tained and raised close to $1,000 for the American Red Cross Tsu¬ nami Relief efforts in just one day. Faculty members passed a six- week-old pot-bellied pig around campus to other faculty and staff members and were asked for a $20 minimum donation that went di¬ rectly to the American Red Cross Tsunami Relief fund. The ASG’s philanthropic pig, Napoleon Pass Riley, visited 44 members of administration and faculty, including Chancellor John A. White, Houston Nutt and Stan Heath. The faculty and staff were fore¬ warned of the project, hut Napo¬ leon’s appearance was still a sur¬ prise for those who were picked. This project was not the only effort by UA students to help fam¬ ilies and victims in the devastated areas. Indonesian students and co ' m- munity members put together a collection of items that included clothing, blankets, gloves, tents and ready-to-eat food and drinks. The 40-foot box of items was sent from Fayetteville to a drop-off point in Seattle. The collection then made its way to Indonesia. Faculty members also organized aid projects, such as UA Direc¬ tor of Orchestral Activities Da¬ vid Goza, who led a Tsunami re¬ lief benefit concert to benefit the American Red Cross South East Asia relief fund. The concert was held Feb.4, 2005 at the University Baptist Church in Fayetteville. The Hu- manitas Orchestra of Fayetteville performed Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony and Felix Mendelssohn’s E-minor Vio¬ lin concerto with Rossitza Jekova- Goza, UA assistant professor of music, as soloist. Each ticket cost $35, and the orchestra members donated their time and services. Proceeds went directly to the American Red Cross. The entire UA community helped in any way they could, donating time, food and money to show their support for victims overseas as well as those affected at home.

Photo by Vance Green Signs littered the campus and students sported stick¬ ers and T-shirts endorsing their favorite candidates throughout the weeks lead¬ ing up to the high-profile Associated Student Gov¬ ernment election. The candidates, for the 2005 ASG president were Hunter Riley and Phil Brick. Megan Cardwell and Roo Litzinger ran for the of¬ fice of ASG vice president, while Quinten Whiteside and Adam Ward competed for ASG secretary. Ryan Marsh ran unopposed for ASG treasurer. Each candidate who ran for an executive position built his or her platform on issues they believed needed to be addressed by the stu¬ dents’ governing body. A debate between the candidates was held during the middle of April. This debate focused on campus safety, the environment and unification of all student groups on campus. Each of the candidates pledged an open-door policy during the term in which they would serve on the executive board of ASG. This policy would allow the opinions and wishes of all students to be heard. Brick, a junior accounting ma¬ jor, presented his major goals at the debate: awareness, expansion and unity. Along with Litzinger, a junior marketing management major, Brick informed students about their plans to unify the UA student body. They proposed national polling stations on campus for increased student par- Mallory Smith ticipation in national and state elec¬ tions. Litzinger and Brick also hoped to expand the ASG cabinet by add¬ ing a Greek life, fine arts and Resi¬ dents Interhall Congress liaison. Litzinger hoped to make ASG more prominent on campus while at the same time increasing cooperation between ASG and registered student organizations. “The more people who are on board with ASG, the more people will hear about our programs,” Litz- inger said. Freshmen involvement was also a key issue for Brick and Litzinger’s platform. ASG had planned for ori¬ entation sessions and freshmen lead¬ ership programs to encourage par¬ ticipation and set up a foundation comprised of eager freshmen. Riley, who served as ASG vice president for this year, presented what he would like to see implemented in the following year. The secretary candidates also spoke at the debate about their goals for ASG. Whiteside, a sophomore political science major, pledged the values of integrity, honesty and re¬ sponsibility for his term as ASG sec¬ retary. “I want to move ASG in a direc¬ tion of integrity,” Whiteside said. Finally election day arrived, and students were encouraged to vote during a three-day voting period us¬ ing a link provided on the X-press Mail login page. At the end of the week, Brick, Litzinger and Whiteside emerged victorious. The new executives were excited and anxious to put their new plans into effect for the upcoming academic year and begin working to leave lasting impressions on the UA campus. 54 Student Life 1111 ASG candidates Phil Brick and Roo Litzinger pledge an open-door policy at the de- abte.

Stu¬ dents flocked to such warm destinations as Panama City, Pactre Island and cun, or braved the co hit the slopes in places Such 56 Student Life lettiriloose Mid-semester break gives students much- needed relief between Christmas and summer Classrooms started to look bare as students got jittery in the spring around the middle of March. Many students were so anxious to embark on their Spring Break ad¬ ventures that going to class moved down on their priority lists. Spring Break for UA students was March 19-27. The energy and excitement of the weeks that led up to Spring Break were felt all around campus. Working out at the HPER Fit¬ ness Center became a daily event for most students who wanted to look attractive in swimsuits on the beaches or th ose who wanted to be in peak physical shape for the slopes. Taylor Speegle, junior drama major and fitness center employee, said that the fitness center cleared out after Spring Break was over, hut before that it was packed every day and night. Area tanning salons also got more popular as students were excited to achieve golden bronze bodies before they went to the beach. Hair stylists in the area also received more business because having the perfect highlights was equally important. The Northwest Arkansas Mall and area clothing stores increased in business as students planned their spring break wardrobes. Stu¬ dents bought swimsuits, tank-tops, shorts, hiking gear and ski jackets for their Spring Break adventures. Students packed their bags and headed to sandy beaches, beauti¬ ful mountains and resorts across the United States. Some students were even lucky enough to jour¬ ney across seas. Though going to the beach or skiing was appealing, some stu¬ dents chose to go home or visit family for a week of relaxation and relief. Many volunteer organizations provided UA students alternative options for spring break destina¬ tions. Students in Habitat for Hu¬ manity organization got the op¬ portunity to visit North Carolina to build homes for the homeless. The most popular Spring Break destinations in the United States included Panama City, South Pa¬ dre Beach and Colorado ski re¬ sorts. MTV Spring Break thrilled students by hosting parties on the beaches in Panama City and South Padre. At the beaches, stu¬ dents occupied their time by go¬ ing to concerts, laying out on the beach, spending time with friends, meeting new people and enjoying being out of school for a week. The long drives to each desti¬ nation were filled with stopping at fast food restaurants along the way, listening to loud music, play¬ ing “I-spy” and possibly even read¬ ing or actually doing some home¬ work which was assigned over the break. “The traveling was worth the end result when we finally reached the beach. I love the sun,” Sarah Lower, junior kinesiology major said. “It was 40 degrees in Fayette¬ ville and in South Padre it was in the 80’s. That was great.” For senior UA students, this was their last Spring Break opportuni¬ ty while in college and many went on memorable trips. UA freshmen had their first experience with the college spring break and looked forward to following years. Overall, Spring Break allowed UA students time to get out of the classroom, relax and have fun for an entire week in March before returning to campus to prepare for upcoming finals. UA students were sad to see it end but looked forward to the nearby summer. Lettin’ Loose 57 Jill Griffin altemateroute Unconventional version of the typical college spring break brings joy to students and aid to those less fortunate For most students, spring break had become notoriously synony¬ mous with images of debauchery, drinking and girls gone wild. Oth¬ ers think of MTV’s infamous pro¬ grams highlighting the week-long vacation for college students and the hilarious antics that ensue. However, University Housing of¬ fered students an uncoventional opportunity for spring break that allowed them to have fun and lend a helping hand to people less for¬ tunate than themselves. This year, a group of around 50 students traveled to Boston on Al¬ ternative Spring Break, a commu¬ nity service program funded and sponsored by University Housing. Every year, students had the op¬ portunity to visit different cities and work at local sites. Housing had been sending countless stu¬ dents on Alternative Spring Break trips and making a difference in communities around the nation for the past nine years. Past trips included New Orleans and San Antonio. Unlike the typical spring break¬ ers who had to fork out money for gas, food and hotels on their spring break trips, Alternative Spring Break students were only required to pay a $25 deposit while the rest of the money was earned through different fundraisers leading up to the trip. Sophomore Michelle Hutchins heard how much fun people had on the trips in previous years and decided to participate after she saw the rewarding perks of the ex¬ perience. Once in Boston, Hutchins and the other students participated in volunteer work at local sites. Hutchins volunteered at a food bank and a zoo. “I went to the Greater Boston food bank and we boxed foods and packaged them in groups,” she said. “I also worked at the zoo where we Megan Garner cleaned up the area, raked a lot of leaves and painted.” Students could work at any¬ where from two to five sites. Soph¬ omore Seth Kleman also worked at the food bank and the zoo and took on additional responsibilities at a retail shop. At the food bank, each student that volunteered had fed over 1,000 people by the time they were finished. “It was awesome,” Hutchins said. “While boxing the food, we didn’t realize how much we were helping but at the end of the day, at the actual results, they broke down the numbers and it was just amazing.” Students were not only reward¬ ed with the feeling of helping less fortunate people, but also met new people through their experiences and made many new friendships. They strengthened bonds with people from the UA and also be¬ gan new relationships with people they met while they were there. “1 knew several people going, but I met a lot of people,” Hutchins said. In between all of the work and helping out, the students found some time to relax and have fun together. Many went out to see the sights and experience Boston. “We went all around Boston. I went and ate at Cheers, saw the Blue Man Group,” Hutchins said. “Boston is such an historic town; we walked the freedom trail and did a lot of shopping.” And while many people pre¬ ferred to go to the beach or the ski resorts, for the students who went on Alternative Spring Break, there was no place else they would rath¬ er have been. Their experiences in Boston provided them with new friends, lasting memories and the rewarding feeling of knowing they used their time to do something good for people in need.

Photo by Vance Green 60 Student Life Short drives were all the rage for students needing a weekend away from the ‘Ville Jill Griffin Granted Fayetteville was a good place to stay on the weekends with parties, nightlife and shopping, but some students opted for much more than Fayetteville had to of¬ fer. There were many popular des¬ tinations within driving distance of Fayetteville, and weekend trips were a chance for students to get away and relax or have fun in a new environment. Devil’s Den State Park located in Lee Creek Valley near West Fork was the shortest getaway for students. The Ozark National For¬ est provided a picturesque back¬ drop for students who wanted to go camping, hiking, backpacking or mountain biking. Cabins were also available for students to rent. Students who visited Devil’s Den had the opportunity to ex¬ plore caves, crevices and bluffs over their weekends which were packed full of outdoor activities. Horseback riding trails were also a well-liked option. For outdoor enthusiasts, Devil’s Den was a popular choice to visit over the weekends, and yet some students looked for alternatives; they were more attracted to bigger cities that had other opportuni¬ ties. Approximately two hours away from Fayetteville in Tulsa, Okla., students had the opportunity to see concerts, go shopping or expe¬ rience the nightlife in a different town. In Tulsa, students went to amuse¬ ment parks, casinos, museums and delicious restaurants available in the area. Some students even vis¬ ited friends who attended area col¬ leges and universities. In the spring, a close weekend getaway for students who did not want to leave the state was Hot Springs. In Hot Springs, Oak- lawn Racetrack gave students an exciting chance to place bets on horse races. The experience was exhilarating, whether students bet huge amounts of money or only a few dollars. Also in Hot Springs, students relaxed in the many spas and enjoyed the unique attraction throughout the town. Kansas City, Mo., was another popular city students could easily reach. The city allowed students the privilege of staying, shopping and dining in the artistic Country Club Plaza, an outdoor museum and huge shopping district. The Country Club Plaza was decorat¬ ed with fountains, sculptures and murals, expressions of Spanish ar¬ chitecture and European art. The drive to Kansas City was only a few hours, and the shopping was a favorite. For some, Kansas City was just not quite big enough. Some stu¬ dents chose to go to Dallas, a city where even more fun could be found. The Dallas club scene provided students with something Dickson Street just could not ac¬ complish. Students were attracted to the parks, concerts, racetracks and restaurants in this nearby des¬ tination. The last weekend in April was a popular weekend to take a trip, as many students went to Memphis in May, an international festival which included the Beale Street Music Festival, world champion barheque cooking contest and symphony concerts at sunset. Most students went to see the Beale Street Music Festival in which more than 60 top artists per¬ formed over the weekend on four stages overlooking the Mississippi River and Beale Street. The mu¬ sic ranged from blues, rock, gospel, R B, alternative and soul, and with each beat, students were ex¬ cited to be a part of an event that was known worldwide. Students had the opportunity to see some of their favorite artists including The Killers, Jack Johnson, Ingram Hill, Billy Idol and Nelly. Regardless of where UA stu¬ dents chose to travel on the week¬ ends, having a good time was nev¬ er a problem.

Friday Night Live was an initia¬ tive by the Division of Student Af¬ fairs to create fun and entertaining late-night weekend programming for students. Christianne Medrano, FNL and University Programs’ program co¬ ordinator, worked extensively to create successful FNLs that stu¬ dents would enjoy. “As FNL coordinator my du¬ ties entailed the program planning process of FNL,” she said. Medrano worked with various university departments for spon¬ sorships and collabor ative pro¬ gramming ideas. Sponsors for FNL included or¬ ganizations such as women’s ath¬ letics, Chartwells, Greek Life, Baptist Collegiate Ministries, International Students Organiza¬ tion, Multicultural Center, In¬ ternational Students Scholars, P.R.I.D.E. and Residents’ Interhall Congress. “If it weren’t for their contri¬ bution, our year would not have been as successful as it was this year,” Medrano said. “In fact, last year the average attendance for FNL was 374 per FNL. This year we have almost doubled that, with the average attendance being 629 students per FNL.” For the FNL attendance boost, the coordinators came up with innovative themes and activities through information given by stu¬ dent surveys. “Our students love FNL T-shirts, because we have a reputation of producing cool looking T-shirts that students love to wear. In or¬ der to get the shirts, we have our students fill out surveys that ask them what themes they would like to see and what they would like to see come to FNL as an activity or what has been their favorite activ¬ ity of the night,” Medrano said. “Then we assess the results and determine which themes we want to have in the next semester.” A few themes had become tra¬ ditions at UA since FNL was es¬ tablished which included Redeye, Hulapalooza, Casino Night and Razorback Idol. Also, Hog Wild FNL kicked off the beginning of the year to welcome students, and Hog Homecoming FNL gave stu¬ dents another spirited event dur¬ ing homecoming week. “My personal favorite FNL this year is a toss-up between I Love the 80’s FNL sponsored by UP in January, when we focused on everything 80’s and brought Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell on campus, and Foolin’ Around with FNL sponsored by PRIDE in April when Willie from the Real World Philadelphia hosted the Mr. Her Ms. Him Pageant and had a lot of color in our decorations and ac¬ tivities,” Medrano said. FNL provided a setting to help smooth the social adjustment to college life for first and second- year undergraduates. “FNL is an integral part of a stu¬ dent’s college experience because it provides a social networking op¬ portunity, especially for first-year students who are just getting to the UA and might not be familiar with all that the university has to offer including RSO involvement opportunities,” Medrano said. “Not just that, but students get to do cool activities that usually end up as memorable keepsakes that they will cherish for the rest of their lives when they reflect on their college days.” 62 Student Life _ Students pose for pictures with Willie from MTV ' s Real World: Philadelphia at Friday Night Live.

Softball was one of the many sporty offered to students during the spring semester by the ' UA intramural program. Photo by Vance Green Megan Garner While students enjoyed the nail-biting action and intense competition of school-sponsored groups such as the football and basketball teams, many students enjoyed the friendly competition and low-stress setting provided by intramural teams and games. “In¬ tramu¬ rals gave me a way to play sports and com¬ pete in a relaxed environment,” sophomore Travis Thetford said. “I love playing sports, and intra- murals enabled me to stay active in athletics without playing on a school-sponsored team.” The Intramural Sports program was designed to provide oppor¬ tunities for the students, faculty and staff to participate in recre¬ ational activities in a competitive atmosphere. Intramurals involved both team sports, such as soccer, horseshoes and sand volleyball, and individual activities, such as racquetball. Over 6,000 students, faculty and staff participated an¬ nually in some form of team or in¬ dividual sports activity. “I’ve met so many people through intramurals,” Thetford said. “It was a great way to meet people and hang out with my busy friends that I don’t get to see very often.” The Intramurals Sports program worked to provide enjoyable rec¬ reational experiences for the UA community and promote whole¬ some social relationship. They also served to develop habits of partici¬ pation that would carry over into everyday life. Intramurals were open to all students, faculty and staff, and participants could organize their own teams or allow the Free Agent Program to help. The Free Agent Program assisted students in find¬ ing a team to join by introduc¬ ing them to students with similar recreational interests. Teams were organized into leagues including men’s, women’s, Greek teams, residence hall teams and co-recre- ational teams. Students could also become involved with intramurals by working as officials. There was no experience needed because the in¬ tramural program trained students, and the only thing necessary was a working knowledge of sports, de¬ pendability and “a cool head,” ac¬ cording to the Intramural Sports Handbook. Students could take on addi¬ tional responsibilities by serving as a team manager. Team manag¬ ers were responsible for attending managers’ meetings, keeping team members informed and organizing team schedules. Games were played in the HPER for indoor sports and on the intra¬ mural fields on Razorback Road for outdoor sports. Teams were able to request certain times for games, in order to make sure game time worked with the players’ sched¬ ules. Teams and individuals compet¬ ed in a bracket format, with the top two winning teams eventu¬ ally competing in the intramural championships. The team and in¬ dividual winners in the champion¬ ships received Intramural T-shirts as well as the title of intramural champions. But even the students who didn’t win the title of champions enjoyed the games and the friendly compe¬ tition intramurals provided. Friendly Faceoff 65 UA theater provides experience for drama students and inspiring entertainment The excitement and nervous¬ ness of stealing a glance through the curtains and watching the theater’s seats fill up with audience members was a feeling that drama students both feared and adored. UA student actors got their fill of those feelings during the four plays put on in the University Theatre throughout the year. Drama students showcased their acting, singing and production tal¬ ents, putting on four productions over the year and competing in many competitions. In October, students acted in Boy Gets Girl by Rebecca Gilman, a suspense play about a woman whose life of many accomplish¬ ments decayed as the woman was stalked by a disturbed admirer. The audience watched on the edge of their seats as the admirer’s obsession grew to be dangerous. This exciting play was directed by assistant professor Mavourneen Dwyer. Next, students showcased their versatilty in the Tony-winning musical Parade. The play was based on the book written by Al¬ fred Uhry, with the music and lyr¬ ics written by Jason Robert Brown. Assistant professor Amy Herzberg led actors and actresses in the dif¬ ficult but exilirating tasks of both singing and acting on stage. The play was based on a true story of a man who was wrongfully con¬ victed of murder. Performances of Parade were from November 12- 14 and 17-21. Both fall productions were in¬ tense and suspenseful. In the spring the performances took a different turn, with energetic and witty, as well as emotional storylines. Ken Ludwig’s Lend Me a Tenor sent the audience into smiles and laughter. The play encompassed one night in the Cleveland Grand Opera Company when the world famous tenor turned up missing. It Jill Griffin sent the managers of the company into a crazed panic. When he fi¬ nally arrived, the actresses and ac¬ tors turned up the comedy. The production was written by Ken Ludwig and played at the University Theatre from February 11-13 and 16-20. The last play the University Theater put on was Romeo and Ju¬ liet in April. This classic play was written by William Shakespeare. It was directed by Cara Gerlock as her MFA thesis project. She worked hard to establish a name for herself and the actors and ac¬ tresses around campus with this classic love story. The tragedy was about two lovers with feuding families who sought desperate ways to be to¬ gether and failed in their despera¬ tion. This well-known work was an audience favorite. Drama students were excited to perform in the four productions, but were also thrilled to compete in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, which was hosted by the UA for the sec¬ ond consecutive year. Seven plays from universities across the region were presented with student ac¬ tors. There was also a plethora of workshops, lectures, competitions and design exhibits. Many drama students won com¬ petitions and expressed their love of theater at the festival. Two de¬ signers and seven actors partici¬ pated in individual competitive events. After the shows were over, the curtain fell and the lights went down for the last time, actors and audiences alike were thrilled with the work and talent displayed. And whether it was a musical, comedy or a classic tragic love story, the students involved in the produc¬ tions at the University Theatre never failed to capture their audi¬ ence and win their hearts. In an intense moment, student actors captivate the audience in Parade, the tragic true story of a man convicted of murder by prejudice and ignorance. The musical, which was a 2000 Tony award winner, was performed at the University Theatre November 12-14 and 17-21.

The 84-year-old Pontiff had been in grave condition for sev¬ eral days, battling blood poisoning caused by a urinary infection, and a failing heart and kidneys. Al¬ though his death was expected, the world was, nonetheless, stunned and saddened at his passing. “I’ve always been accustomed to the presence of the Pope John Paul II in our world, and it’s so strange for me not to feel his presence in the religious scene anymore,” ju¬ nior Safaa Kamal Idrissi said. “He was a very important Catholic symbol.” However, John Paul’s influence was not limited to just Catholics. He was a prominent world figure and leader that many people sup¬ ported, regardless of their own per¬ sonal religious beliefs. “His actions should be respected, even though I disagreed with some of the things he did,” sophomore sociology and criminal justice ma¬ jor Cara Gray said. “This is a big deal, historically and spiritually.” Senior Souad Nouri agreed, say¬ ing many students felt the pope stood for global peace and under¬ standing, and was not just a Cath¬ olic symbol. “He was an important figure who called for a peaceful world,” she said. Some students expressed relief that the ailing pope no longer had to suffer the pain of his numerous medical problems. Not only had Pope John Paul survived an assas¬ sination attempt in 1981, but he also underwent hip replacement surgery in 1994, and had suffered for almost a decade with Parkin¬ son’s disease. Recently the Pontiff had been hospitalized twice since February 1, both of which were for a breathing crisis. During his most recent hospital stay, the pope un¬ derwent a tracheotomy to ease his breathing, and in the iast days be¬ fore his death had been fitted with a feeding tube to help his nutrition intake. “Because of the pope’s failing health in the last few years, this is a good time, because now he’s at peace,” freshman business major Kevin Casey said. Students found ways to express their sadness by attending mass or following the events of the Pon¬ tiff’s funeral on television. Pope John Paul’s body lay in state for several days, during which thou¬ sands of mourners filed past, before finally being put to rest on April 8 . And while many UA students watched or read about the leader’s funeral, some had a front-row seat to history in the making. Students such as senior Blake Jackson, who was enrolled in the Rome Study Center for Architecture and the Humanities, were in Rome at the time of the Pontiff’s death, and were able to witness the historical events first hand. “I’m glad to be part of this,” Jackson said in a phone inter¬ view for the Northwest Arkansas Times. “It will go down in the his¬ tory books.” And while many students were saddened and stunned by the pope’s death, they were also cu¬ rious and optimistic about what path the Catholic Church would take following the loss of one of its most prominent leaders. “My dad’s side of the family is Catholic, so I’ve always respected the pope and followed what he said,” junior Heath Himstedt said. “It’s going to be interesting to see who is picked next.” 68 Student Life Global Goodbye 69 UA students, faculty and staff join forces, volunteering to help others in the community and throughout the world Mallory Smith Throughout the year, students looked for ways to give back to the surrounding community. Many found ways to help by donating, time, money, books and even blood to help with causes from lo¬ cal charities to national disasters. Some registered student orga¬ nizations on campus were devoted completely to giving back to the community. Many groups were honorary service organizations that inducted members based on GPA or other honors. These groups organized book drives, clothing drives or worked to help beautify the surrounding area by picking up trash or landscaping parks. Signs around Fayetteville marked the areas that different registered stu¬ dent organizations had promised to keep litter-free, such as the por¬ tions of streets adopted as part of the Adopt-a-Highway program. Several blood drives were orga¬ nized on campus throughout the year by the Red Cross chapter of the Ozarks and the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks. In an attempt to collect more units of blood, the Greek groups competed to see who could bring out the most donors. There were many held on campus including Homecoming and Sigma Chi Derby Days, how¬ ever, one of the largest ones took willinghearts The Game for Life blood drive, sponsered by CBCO, was a com¬ petition between the UA and the University of Kentucky. The winner of the blood drive was an¬ nounced during halftime of the game between Arkansas and Ken¬ tucky. The UA collected the most units of blood and proudly received the trophy. CBCO provided blood for 34 hospitals and all of the 38 counties that comprised the Ozark moun¬ tain range. The blood donated went to people who had suffered from bleeding disorders, organ transplants or heart surgery. Be¬ cause a unit of blood had so many uses, one unit helped save as many as three lives. UA students, faculty and staff made a difference in the local com¬ munity by getting involved with Make A Difference Day. Make a Difference Day was a volunteer event held in the fall and spring as part of another volunteering proj¬ ect, Students’ Day of Caring. The day was held Oct. 16, with a to¬ tal of 432 participants and project leaders who volunteered their time and efforts for a total of 35 service projects held that day. Area non¬ profit agencies hosted different service projects. The recent tsunami in south Asia inspired many students to reach out and help the people who were affected by the natural disas¬ ter. In order to rebuild schools in the affected area, several groups on campus including Golden Key, Alpha Phi Alpha and Circle K collected text books that students did not sell back to the bookstores. All of the books collected went to helping re-establish schools in Sri Lan¬ ka. All books could be tax deductible for students who donated. Various other projects UA stu¬ dents were involved in included Adopt-A-Park at Wilson Park, Donald W. Reynolds Boys and Girls Club, Seven Hills Home¬ less Shelter and Youth Bridge, a program that helps at-risk youth succeed by providing support and emergency housing. 70 Student Life Helping out, sophomore ele¬ mentary education major Ro works the Circle K booth on the street corner out¬ side Brough.

Even the ASG Distin¬ guished Lecturer Committee that hosted the event was unaware of the nature of his lecture. Yet the arena was packed in attendance that Thursday night, with an esti¬ mated 2,500 students, faculty and fans filling the hundreds of floor seats and surrounding arena seats. Redford walked into what he called “the most unusual intro” he had ever seen, as the audience greeted him with an enthusiastic hog call. He spoke as part of the University’s annual Distinguished Lecturer series, which had previ¬ ously hosted Capitol Steps, Ben Stein and A1 Franken, and James Earl Jones. In his appearance, Redford answered questions posed by an on-stage moderator in a format resembling the television show “Inside the Actor’s Studio.” After questions from the moderator, au¬ dience members lined up as far as each row reached on either side of the floor for the chance to make comments and inquiries. Art Hob¬ son, professor emeritus of physics, served as the onstage moderator and called Redford “a very serious, very nice guy.” Redford discussed his work with the Sundance Institute, which he founded in 1981. The institute, which was named for the outlaw Redford portrayed on screen, was dedicated to the support and de¬ velopment of emerging screen¬ writers and directors, and hosted the Sundance Film Festival every year in Park City, Utah. In addition to discussing his act¬ ing and directing career, Redford used much of his time onstage to address such issues as apathy, the environment and fame, and to encourage students to get actively involved in the world. “Young people have a voice and should use it... the future is in your hands, it’s not in mine,” Redford said. When asked about apathy, Red- ford called it “the greatest threat to our future that faces young peo¬ ple,” and said, “there’s no excuse for apathy. It’s an easy way out.” Redford also criticized the na¬ ture of fame and. the hype that came with being a celebrity. “I may be biting the hand that feeds me, but one of the greatest dangers [to society] is the overem¬ phasis of celebrity,” Redford said. “You read about top 10 sexiest houses or top 10 sexiest beaches, and tomorrow there’ll be another top 10. Celebrity is fine. Enter¬ tainment is fine. But it’s only part of the whole.” A majority of Redford’s time was spent discussing environmen¬ talism. He had been involved with environmental causes since 1969, Redford said, and i n 1989 he was one of the first to speak out about global warming when he organized a conference of industrialists to ad¬ dress the issue. During the lecture, Redford also voiced his criticism of our government’s environmen¬ tal efforts. “The environment is ours. Nobody owns it,” Redford said. “You’re looking at a group of peo¬ ple who seem to almost enjoy de¬ stroying the environment.” Throughout Redford’s lecture, he was an advocate for activism and encouraged students to do whatever they could to get in¬ volved in the world around them. “I’m only one person and one voice,” Redford said, “but I see no reason to sit on my butt.” Sundance Kid 73 Megan Garner Chevelle and Dark New Day bring excit¬ ing atmosphere, energy and music to UA Jill Griffin Droves of screaming student fans came out by the hundreds to see Chicago-based rock group, Chevelle at the Chi Omega Greek Theater on April 28, 2005. The well-known group head¬ lined for the University Programs’ spring concert, known as Hog- stock which was also sponsored by Associated Student Government, the office of First Year Experience, 104-9 “The X,” and Authoring Your Life. Chevelle brought with them a promising new band named Dark New Day. Their opening left fans wanting more. On tour, promoting their new album “This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In)” Chevelle did not hesitate to put just as much energy into the University Pro¬ grams’ Spring Concert as they did throughout their tour. Both bands rocked out, and no admission was charged. Student fans filled each white row of seat¬ ing in the theater as well as the grass areas and sidewalks. “It was good to see the Greek theater so packed,” Sarah Lower, junior kinesiology major said. “We should use it more often.” The pit area was filled with min¬ imal space for movement as the fans in the area danced to the beat of the music. Security staff was on hand to make sure the crowd did not get out of control. Zach Taylor, junior internation¬ al business major was one of the students in the pit area and a huge fan of the band. “I was getting smashed from ev¬ ery angle, and I felt like I was go¬ ing to pass out because I was so de¬ hydrated, but the only thing that kept me going was knowing that I was watching Chevelle, 11 Taylor said. Students who worked as part of the concert crew at Hogstock had the privilege to meet the bands be¬ fore the show. 104.9 “The X”, a local radio sta¬ tion, plugged the concert for sev¬ eral weeks before the event. Two radio personalities from the station introduced Chevelle to a patient crowd. When Chevelle appeared on stage, their music exploded si¬ multaneously from the bassist, gui¬ tarist and drummer. All three of the band members were are broth¬ ers, Sam Loeffler on drums, Joe Loeffler on bass and Pete Loeffler, vocals and guitar. The songs that seemed to drive the students wild included “The Clincher” and “Vitamin R,” as well as some of their older hits, “The Red,” “Closure” and “Send the Pain Below.” Taylor Speegle, junior drama major worked on the stage crew for the 2004 spring concert and could not express how different the energy was this year. “It seemed like everybody that was there was ready to have fun. Sitting was not an option,” he said. “I do not think that the band was expecting such a packed venue, and when they saw the energy of the students, it fed their desire to put on a memorable performance. I have seen Chevelle in concert be¬ fore and it was nothing like this.” In order to ensure a greater crowd response, University Pro¬ grams worked hard to book a band that would excite and entertain a large percentage of the students at the UA. The concert was paid for by the student entertainment fee that covered events such as concerts, Friday Night Lives and Poetry Slams. Both Chevelle and Dark New Day provided an exciting outlet for students to relieve stress before finals, and the intense energy and atmosphere the artists brought provided for an unforgettable ex¬ perience.

This was a com¬ mon sight across campus as the end of each semester ap¬ proached. Photo by Vance Green Build-up of semester finds students under pressure as agonizing week of cramming and all-nighters brings classes to a close Carolyn Finnie The telltale signs of finals week were visible across the UA cam¬ pus as the spring semester drew to a close. The Union computer lab did not have an opening for days, stu¬ dents pleaded with Mullins library administration to stay open past 1:00 a.m., and students definitely drank their fair share of coffee and Mountain Dew while cramming. It was only at this time during the year that one could possibly witness a student two days in a row in the same clothes in the same spot, studying the same page in the same textbook. Students at Carleton College in Minnesota engaged in an hon¬ ored tradition on the night before the first final - the campus erupted with screams from students at ex¬ actly 10:00 p.m. Perhaps that could be imple¬ mented into the UA’s version of crunch time. Despite the constant warnings of professors, “study early,” “bud¬ get your time,” “make notecards,” “read everyday,” it was inevitable that students procrastinated. Procrastination, however, even¬ tually caught up with students dur¬ ing finals week. A semester worth of work cul¬ minated into one highly dreaded week for UA students. Frequently, the end of a semes¬ ter did not just mean a relaxing week studying for exams, rather the end meant turning in week-old papers, writing the newly assigned 10-page paper and just plain cram¬ ming. Students were bogged down with plenty of assignments in ad¬ dition to preparing for the exams alone. And Dead Day was the time slot created to ease finals stress, at least temporarily, as students sub¬ jected themselves to the unneces¬ sary agony. Unfortunately for many classes, a large chunk of a class relied on a final exam, that climax toward which the whole semester had been moving. All-nighters were especially common due to the percentage value of the finals in the majority of classes across campus. cmnchtime Yet some students were smart enough to plan ahead. Sophomore Corey Duncan did not feel overly stressed before his four final exams. “I procrastinate all the time, it’s a hobby of mine,” he said. “I can’t pull an all-nighter,” Duncan said. “I wouldn’t be able to function and take a test.” Duncan said he studied an aver¬ age of four hours for each final. Added stress included the 7:30 a.m. exams. Duncan, like some students, did not mind 7:30 a.m. exams since he said he “likes to get them over with.” Caffeine was particularly preva¬ lent among students who struggled to find enough time to sleep and study. And unfortunately, a final could determine a passing or failing grade. To combat the bi-yearly ex¬ tra stress, the Pat Walker Health Center hosted a “De-Stress Fest” before finals that provided free massages, stress balls and food. It was hard to focus on finals with summer so close, but students hit the books to get finals over. And next semester, like clock¬ work, students would be forced to revisit the dreaded week of agony.

Some countries were not even that lucky, and that was where Heifer International became involved. In October, landscape architec¬ ture and interior design students visited Heifer International’s Global Village 2 and experienced first-hand what it was like to face Third World realities. Forty-three students worked hard and diligently to design eight villages for Heifer International’s new Global Village 2, near Per- ryville, and were ecstatic to see their creations come to life. “It was wonderful seeing our two-dimensional designs trans¬ formed into three-dimensional reality,” said third-year landscape architecture major Pam Roark in a UA press release. The students began their work in the fall of 2003. They researched settlement patterns, climate, hous¬ ing types and agricultural practices of countries in eight regions where Heifer International provided eco¬ nomic support. They worked many hours in the library and visited the site during the creation process. Eight teams developed interpretive villages consisting of five buildings, an ag¬ ricultural field or garden and ani¬ mal enclosures. The different cultures and vil¬ lages ranged from Mongolian yak hair yurts to Mississippi Delta low- income communities. To achieve their ultimate goal, students situated villages on the sites to limit views to other instal¬ lations and provide smooth tran¬ sitions between diverse cultures. For example, the Mississippi Delta and Mongolian villages shared a rice field. Student designed levels of hous¬ ing to reflect the diverse economic strata. In the Mozambique village, concrete-block houses were built to represent higher-income fami¬ lies, while poorer families made homes of wattle and daub huts with straw roofs. Information about what the shelters looked like on the inside was hard to find, but the students did their best to reproduce the real-life habitats. “The students learned that the lifestyle in these countries is more holistic and potentially more sus¬ tainable,” Laurie Fields, assistant professor of landscape architecture said in a UA press release. At the end of the fall semester, each team presented their ideas through the use of design boards that documented site analysis and design, a variety of building types and plans, construction techniques and materials, sketches of interiors and exteriors, significant details and a concept mission statement to professors and Heifer Interna¬ tional representatives. The students received much praise from their professors and Heifer International for their hard work on the designs. The students were pleased with the outcome of their designs. “The villages were pretty close to what we envisioned, if not bet¬ ter. They did a really good job of building our designs,” Jeanette Wilson, a third-year landscape architecture student said in a UA press release. “We went into this feeling op¬ timistic that the student work would serve as a springboard for a professional firm,” Stephanie Houser Fouse, supervisor of the Global Village said in a UA press release. “Their work was so excel¬ lent that we were able to use what they gave us, which is great. It was a good partnership for us.” Landscape architecture stu¬ dents Jeanette Wilson, Clay¬ ton Turley and Miguel Valdez inspect the school bus shelter in the mock Mississippi Delta region at Heifer International.

Fay Jones memorial service highlights lifelong accomplishments of world-renowned architect Distinguished. Artistic. Vision- ary. These powerful words de¬ scribed the late Euine Fay Jones, Jan. 31,1921-Aug. 30,2004, an ex¬ traordinary architect who was and would continue to be an inspira¬ tion for architects at the UA and worldwide. Jones had a significant ability to sketch his visions in detailed and precise manners and then convert those amazing sketches into as¬ tounding building forms. Students would forever be in awe of one of his magnificent cre¬ ations that graces our campus, the Fulbright Peace Fountain, located between Old Main and Vol Walk¬ er Hall. Jones and business partner, Maurice Jennings, worked together in 1998 to create the 41-foot-tall, 12,000 lb, sculpted bronze- and granite-based structure. The fountain, Jones’ last piece of work, was considered to be the exclamation mark of his lifetime of accomplishments. “The fountain pays tribut e to a statesman, scholar, alumnus and former UA president who shaped American foreign policy in the 20th century,” wrote Chancel¬ lor John White in a letter to the campus community in the winter of 1999. Jones also designed the interior of Vol Walker Hall, where a large portion of his time on this campus was spent. Jones studied and taught at the UA for over 50 years. After he went to WWII, and with the aid of the G.I. Bill, Jones received the opportunity to study architecture at the UA. As a student, he was involved in many activities around campus. He was a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity, and a participant in in¬ tramural sports and other events. In 1990, Jones won the Kappa Sig¬ ma Man of the Year Award. In 1953 he began his 34-year teaching career at the UA, and from 1966-74, Jones was the chair of the school of architecture. He became the first dean of the school of architecture from 1974-76. Al¬ though he retired from teaching in 1987, he continued to design. Jones was a distinguished pro¬ fessor, winning many awards in¬ cluding the highest award archi¬ tects may obtain, The Gold Metal from the American Institution of Architecture, in 1990. The award was presented to Jones by former President George Bush. Prince Charles and former President Bill Clinton also granted the architec¬ tural genius his well-deserved rec¬ ognition. Jones lived, and enjoyed work¬ ing in, the Ozarks, and the natu¬ ral, organic lifestyle was reflected in his work. He practiced archi¬ tecture on a smaller scale: his cre¬ ations were chapels, fountains, sculptures, house boats and private homes. He did not follow trends with his work but focused on his inner aesthetic visions. “He made us proud to be Ar¬ kansans,” Chancellor John White said. White gave an appreciation speech at the Jones’ memorial service held on Sept. 29, 2004. “His designs became realities and there-in will his presence forever be seen,” White said. At the memorial service, for¬ mer students, friends and family members gathered mourning the loss, yet celebrating Jones’ life. Af¬ ter the service, family and friends gathered around the Peace Foun¬ tain for a moment of silence. “The effect this man had on those around him was remark¬ able,” dean Jeff Shannon said. Lasting Legacy centennialcelebration Dale Bumpers College reaches 100 year mark, applauding ten decades of excellence in agricultural, food and life sciences In April, students, alumni, fac- ulty and staff gathered in the Anne Kittrell Gallery in the Arkansas Union for a reception to kick-off the celebration for the centennial year of the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sci¬ ences. The reception followed the an¬ nual Bumpers College Honors Convocation awards program in the Arkansas Union Theater. “We’ve made a birthday cake for ourselves in celebration.” Dean Gregory Weidermann said. He invited all guests to join him in having a slice as he cut the cake. The reception and birthday cake marked the first event to com¬ memorate the centennial. An exhibit of the history of Bumpers College was also unveiled at the reception. The poster boards were filled with interesting facts about the college from its minute beginnings until 2005. A 24-page illustrated booklet was given to guests attending the reception. Over the past 100 years, the UA had produced 11,593 gradu¬ ates with degrees in agricultural, food and life sciences. The alumni made and would continue to make a grandiose impact in not only Ar¬ kansas and the United Sates, hut worldwide, as well. Other centennial events would include a fall lecture series and a time capsule to be placed in the agriculture building. To end the year, a “Party of the Century” gala was set for Dec. 3, 2005, at the Northwest Arkansas Convention Center that would include speak¬ ers, a banquet and entertainment. The college had a long history of evolution and transformation. In 1872, when the Arkansas In¬ dustrial University was established one of the requirements of the uni¬ versity was to produce graduates trained in scientific agriculture. When the college became the Jill Griffin University of Arkansas, it offered a wide variety of courses in agri¬ cultural sciences, but few students chose to enroll in such classes. Reorganization of the university occurred in 1886 with more focus on agricultural courses because of public pressures to produce agri¬ cultural graduates. The Barker Bill, which was passed in 1887 outlined a com¬ plete course of agricultural studies and required all male students to work on the university farm, earn¬ ing 10 cents an hour. Hugh Ellis Morrow of Fayette¬ ville became the first graduate to receive a bachelor of science in agriculture in 1904- The College of Agriculture was officially estab¬ lished in 1905 by the University Board of Trustees. Morrow became a professor in the chemistry de¬ partment for 16 years. The first faculty consisted of those who taught in the depart¬ ments of agricultural chemistry, agronomy, animal husbandry, en¬ tomology, horticulture and veteri¬ na ry science. The college was renamed the College of Agriculture and Home Economics in 1954. In 1995, it was renamed, once again, the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences. The home economics department was called the School of Human Environ¬ mental Sciences and was contained within the Bumpers College. In 2005, the courses offered re¬ flected a new wave of diverse ma¬ jors implemented in the College. The Dale Bumpers College offered 15 majors and 17 minors. From its beginning in the nine¬ teenth century until the twenty- first century, the college had prov¬ en dedication in educating and producing graduates who had the skills to succeed in agricultural, food and life sciences and to make the UA proud. 90 Academics Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences Dean Gregory jVVeidemann cuts the 100th students tion, the ce kicked off a ye ebration Photo by Vance Green Centinnial Celebration 91 ' Students prepare a meal as part of classwork in their food laboratory.

In the spring food prep class, in¬ structor Allen Powell taught his students through experience. The students were provided with opportunities to prepare them for success in their career choices. Students were required to work with Chartwells Din¬ ing Service in Brough Com¬ mons, the Union Food Court, the Northwest Quad Dining Hall and Pomfret Dining Center, as well as in Ella’s Restaurant in Carnall Hall. “We worked at one place for two weeks, then we switched,” said Rachael Miller, a junior hos¬ pitality and restaurant manage¬ ment major. Students were able to observe all aspects of the food organiza¬ tion. It was a chance for them to step outside the classroom and into the real world for an entire semester. “We get to see the overall pro¬ cess from the food delivery to preparation and serving,” said senior hospitality and restaurant management major Ryan Aclin. Aside from food organization, Ella’s Restaurant provided students an opportunity to learn about re¬ tail sales. “At Ella’s, we see how the em¬ ployees are treated,” Miller said. This was not the only class in the department that provided stu¬ dents such opportunities. Students in the catering management class went out into the community to cater events, Powell said. One of the most exciting events they catered was the “Towers of Old Main” held at the Fayetteville Towne Center. The class was also involved in the Tasty Time Savers project in which students, includ¬ ing Amy Jackson and Jesse Fox, were granted the opportunity to demonstrate their cooking through Chartwells Dining Service. Jack- son and Fox prepared dirty rice with sausage as their dish. In the hotel operations class, course students completed projects through the Inn at Carnall Hall and learned about the hotel indus¬ try from the inside out. Each individual class had differ¬ ent projects including designing restaurants, hotels and menus. In the selection, layout and design class, students actually created precise blueprints for the hotels and restaurants, Aclin said. Menu creations were a part of the experi¬ mental foods class. “The department offers degrees in dietetics, general foods and nu¬ trition and hospitality and restau¬ rant management,” Powell said. As part of the hospitality and restaurant management degree, students acquired skills in market¬ ing, economics, accounting and business management, foods, hos¬ pitality and restaurant manage¬ ment. The general foods and nutrition degree program, in addition to the 124 hours required to graduate, of¬ fered many elective hours in differ¬ ent fields, which allowed students to prepare for special careers. Stu¬ dents were able to study in such ar¬ eas as exercise science, journalism, business or physical and biological sciences, helping them to be well- prepared for future endeavors.

In order to receive their teach¬ ing certifications, students in the M.A.T. program had to success¬ fully complete an internship at schools in either Benton or Wash¬ ington County as one of the re¬ quirements. Laura Johnston was obtaining her M.A.T. in elementary educa¬ tion and worked as an intern at the Walker Elementary School in Springdale this spring. “This has most definitely been a positive experience. I have ben¬ efited so much from this program personally and professionally. Also, the students in my classes have benefited as a result of their experiences with me,” Johnston said. Johnston taught math, science and writing during each week to fourth-graders, kindergarteners and first-graders. She, like many interns, took her internship se¬ riously and treated it like a real teaching job. The interns experienced every¬ thing entailed in teaching, includ¬ ing teachers’ schedules and every¬ day responsibilities. Johnston had to be at the school at 7:30 in the morning and left around 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, she said. With every job there was a level of stress associated. Teaching was extremely stressful, sometimes even more stressful than interns anticipated. “The internship was stress¬ ful emotionally because educat¬ ing the students in my class is truly something I put my heart into.” Johnston said. “It doesn’t take long to learn that in order to reach each student, you must have a relationship with each student, which requires major emotional investment. The workload as far as course requirements was stress¬ ful because of how I was stretched intellectually.” As aspiring educators, the in¬ terns felt tremendous pressure to perform at their highest level. The students had to undergo large amounts of self-evaluation, as well as evaluations done by their liai¬ sons once a semester, Johnston said. Though educators in the Col¬ lege of Education and Health Pro¬ fessions did their best to prepare students who were required to complete internships, there was “nothing like on-the-job train¬ ing,” Johnston said. Interns were allowed to see for themselves how to administer tests, assign homework and moti¬ vate students to do their best work, all the while, growing as people and as teachers. Johnston said there was never a dull moment teaching and build¬ ing relationship with her students. One kindergarten boy even had a crush on her, she said. Undoubtedly, this experience enriched the lives of the students, as well as the interns. Gradually, through their edu¬ cation at the university and their experience as interns, UA stu¬ dents said they were ready to face the real test and teach students by themselves without consulting a mentor for approval. “I plan to teach in a public school district in Northwest Ar¬ kansas,” Johnston said, discussing her plans following graduation. Rest easy. The future of our state would continue to be taught and secured by education majors from the UA. § !hs 2«y i w I r 7 ' -.. . rn 94 Academics ivi.a.i. siuaent Lavpijonn ston instructs first-grade students at Walker El men tary School in Springs Johnston interned as part o her requirements for teach ing certification.

Photo by Gigi Holder 96 Academics Human Performance Lab focuses on research and performance with overall goal of promoting good health Megan Garner Most students considered the HPER a place to work out, climb the rock wall and play racquetball. But for students in the department of health science, kinesiology, rec- reation and dance in the College of Health Professions it was also their classroom, and the Human Performance Lab was the place where the knowledge they gained was put to use. “The lab is the experien¬ tial and the research part of our curriculum,” HPL direc¬ tor Ro DiBrezzo said. “We want kids to get hands-on ex¬ perience as much as possible. So they take a class and then they come and play, for lack of a better word, on our toys.” The HPL served as an educa¬ tional facility for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty. Specifically for faculty and graduate students, the lab served as a facility for conducting re¬ search focused on health, exercise and performance among specific populations. For undergraduate students, the lab was a kind of hands-on training facility. “We teach [undergraduate stu¬ dents] how to measure strength, how to take blood, how to do a stress test, the whole thing,” Di- Brezzo said. “So they take a class that has the theory and the con¬ tent in it, and their field experi¬ ence is learning how to use the equipment. For a while they prac¬ tice on each other. And no one wants to be the first person to get an injection so we may practice on an orange and then a dummy and eventually each other. So the lab is their field experience.” Other activities in the HPL in¬ volved research on bone density in perimenopausal women, cortisol levels and cardiovascular disease, as well as research concerning ex¬ ercise and health issues relating to women. Another program the HPL was involved in was “Fitness for Fun,” a university-based fitness program designed to introduce individuals to a healthier way of life. The program provided a com¬ munity-based fitness program for individuals who wished to develop a more healthful lifestyle, while providing laboratory experience for students. leaminglab Both graduate and undergradu¬ ate exercise science students served as fitness counselors, exer¬ cise specialists and recreation co¬ ordinators in the program. “Anyone who lives in town is eligible for Fitness For Fun,” Di¬ Brezzo said. “We take 30 people a semester, and they come in and they have a physician-supervised stress test, and we take their blood and do some strength training and all that. Then we put them on an individualized exercise program, and they have a fitness trainer, one of our students, all semester long. And then at the end of the semes¬ ter we reevaluate them.” It was projects such as these and the new and exciting things re¬ vealed through research that kept those involved with the HPL in¬ terested and happy in their work, even when things became hectic around the lab. “It’s really fun,” DiBrezzo said. “And the people we work with are so fun because they’re so anxious and they want to know. They want to know about their bodies.” Thanks to the HPL, students in the College of Health Professions were able to gain the experience necessary to promote healthly life¬ styles, and at the same time, pro¬ vided useful knowledge to the UA community. Learning Lab 97 healt! conscious Health fair put on by UA nursing students teaches kids importance of developing healthy habits “An apple a day keeps the doc- tor away...” This was the lesson of the day, as UA nursing students helped to promote healthy habits. Nursing students, along with the support of area businesses, joined together to assist in educating eh ementary school students about the habits necessary to live a long, healthy life. In the spring, UA students aimed to teach younger student s that being healthy could be fun. While some nursing students pre¬ sented a giant-sized toothbrush to illustrate effective brushing habits, others performed skits as dancing fruits and vegetables to teach nu¬ trition basics. Dressed as dancing produce, a group performed two skits writ¬ ten to teach the key elements of eating nutritiously. Other students held booths that displayed subjects such as growing strong bones and maintaining dental health. The Eleanor Mann School of Nursing had conducted an inter¬ active health education fair at elementary schools in Northwest Arkansas for six years. In March, for the spring health fair, nursing students visited Grace Hill Elementary School in Rogers, where the elementary students met UA students and learned about the aspects of proper hygiene and health. The fair consisted of 10 booths, nutrition skits, outdoor activities and speeches to encourage stu¬ dents from kindergarten to sixth grade to lead healthier lifestyles. Most topics for the booths, skits and activities included teeth- brushing habits, hand washing, obesity and bicycle safety. For the event, nursing students were divided into teams that were in charge of making posters, de¬ veloping skits and songs, escorting the students throughout the fair and leading the students in out¬ door activities. Jill Griffin Forty-six nursing school seniors participated in the event. The elementary students were also invited to create posters for the health fair. A winner and hon¬ orable mention were announced at the fair, which was an exciting part of the event for the children. “The experience was a positive situation for everyone involved,” said Kathleen Barta, associate professor. “The nursing students had the opportunity to teach and interact with students of all ages. The elementary school children benefited from the knowledge of proper health practices.” The principal of Grace Hill “showered praises” to the UA nursing students as the health fair came to an end, Barta said. Both the students and faculty of Grace Hill were impressed with the cre¬ ativeness and extra effort that the UA students put forth in this ac¬ tivity. Principals from surrounding el¬ ementary schools visited the fair and showed interest in possibly hosting future health fairs at their schools, Barta said. Overall, the spring health fair was a huge success much like in previous years, she added. Nursing school seniors were re¬ quired to participate as a part of the community health and nurs¬ ing course taught by professor Marianne Neighbors. The health fair provided an op¬ portunity for the students to learn organizational and management skills, while preparing for the role of a nurse. Students also expe¬ rienced the joy of teaching and helping young children who could proudly share the information they had acquired with friends and fam¬ ily members. Impacting the community played a large role in UA students’ goals for the year, and the local health fairs for children were an excellent way to reach that goal.

The event had been a tradition within the College of Engineering for nearly 100 years. Photo by Vance Green 100 Academics Week dedicated to engineering students involves Post-Its, eggs and paper airplanes Engineering students had the opportunity to take a break from their calculators and complex equations when they dropped eggs, played with Post-It notes and duct taped their classmates to the walls of the atrium in Bell Engineering Center for the College of Engi¬ neering’s annual Engine Week. Engine Week had been a tradi¬ tion in the College of Engineer¬ ing for the past 96 years and takes place each spring. Engine Week 2005 took place from April 4 to April 8. The celebration allowed engineering students to relax and have fun, while still using the les¬ sons and skills they learned in their classrooms. “Engine Week is a chance for students to put their engineer¬ ing skills to use in a fun, interest¬ ing way,” Assistant Dean Thomas Carter said. “It’s also a great way to help them relieve stress.” The scheduled events included a Quiz Bowl tournament, Tug-O- War on the Old Main Lawn, the egg drop contest, the paper airplane contest, a Post-It note competi¬ tion, a miniature golf tournament and the well-known “Stick ‘Em Up” contest. In the competition, which took place Friday, April 8, students had two minutes to “stick up” a team member to a wall in the Bell Engineering Center atrium using only their engineering abili¬ ties and no more than one full roll of duct tape. The student had to remain suspended 24 inches above the ground. The competition at¬ tracted the attention of students and community members alike. Rick Katzfey, the weatherman from the local TV station KNWA, decided to get in on the action and did a live weather broadcast after being duct taped to the atrium walls. Another popular event was the egg drop, in which students used their engineering knowl¬ edge to construct containers they hoped would protect raw eggs from breaking when dropped three sto¬ ries. The containers were dropped from the third floor balcony of Bell Engineering Center. Eggs that sur¬ vived the drop were then dropped from the fourth floor balcony un¬ til only one good egg remained. The Post-It note competition was a new event in which students used hundreds of Post-It notes to construct original designs, which were displayed on the walls of Bell Atrium. The entries were judged for creativity and level of detail. “We had a great response to our events,” director of communica¬ tions Cecilia Vigliaturo said. “The Stick ‘Em Up contest is always a popular one.” The week concluded with the Engine Week Awards, which recognized the winners of the week’s competitions. Other perks throughout the week for students included free donuts and orange juice, free popcorn and the annual engineering spring picnic on the lawn of Old Main. These attrac¬ tions were planned and put on by student organizations such as the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Institute of Electrical and Elec¬ tronics Engineers. Throughout Engine Week, en¬ gineering students were given some time to relax and have fun, relieving a bit of the stress from their challenging classes and as¬ signments. The week’s events and competitions promoted coopera¬ tion, provided amusement and al¬ lowed students to combine edu¬ cation and entertainment, using their knowledge to engineer some fun. Tinkerin’ Around 101 Megan Garner Carolyn Finnie spli splash Solar Splash team makes waves at annual in¬ ternational and intercollegiate competitions A unique group of engineering students gave up sleeping until noon each Saturday of the year to head out to Beaver Lake, not for fishing or hiking, but to test their recurrent and consistent award- winning solar energy boat. Members of the Solar Splash team in the College of Engineer¬ ing, which was composed of me¬ chanical and electrical engineer¬ ing students, were truly devoted. The goal of the Solar Splash team was for students to work together as a team, overcoming design challenges and creating a successful solar electric boat, us¬ ing the skills of both engineering disciplines that were necessary to construct a boat to outperform the competition. The team consisted of approxi¬ mately 10 electrical and 15 me¬ chanical engineer students, along with three advisors, Alan Man- tooth, Bill Springer and Roy Mc¬ Cann, who oversaw the project. The mechanical engineers were divided into the drive train team, hull team and support equipment team. The electrical engineers were divided into motors, telem¬ etry and solar array, and batteries. “We are funded primarily by the mechanical engineering depart¬ ment, the electrical engineering department, the college of engi¬ neering and the graduate school,” senior Eric Jones said. “We also have roughly 15 business sponsors and several individuals that do¬ nate generously on a yearly basis.” Both departments provided se¬ nior-level elective credit for par¬ ticipation, and many volunteers made the project more successful. “We are trying to encourage freshmen and sophomores to get involved so that the teams don’t have to reinvent the wheel every year,” Jones said. A returning member from the 2004 team, Jones assumed the role of electrical engineering captain. “We typically go to the lake ev¬ ery Saturday to test our latest ad¬ justments in addition to research¬ ing components and making the adjustments,” said Jones, who typically spent eight to 10 hours each week on the project. The Solar Splash team was started in 1999 by the electrical engineering department under Dr. Elshabini, the former electrical engineering department head. The first team competed in New Orleans in 2000, hut have compet¬ ed in Buffalo, N.Y., ever since. At the five-day competition, qualified boats competed in a rigorous series of tests, including sprint, maneu¬ verability and endurance. The team was an ever-present threat in the annual international and intercollegiate competitions. Since 2000, the team had placed in the overall top six every year. In 2002, the team was notably award¬ ed with the world championship title for the boat. In 2004, the team took second place overall, in addition to a design achievement award and the title “outstanding solar system design.” This year’s competition looked promising, as the students worked to continue their tradition of ex¬ cellence and elevate their com¬ petitiveness to another level. “The major changes for 2005 are building a light-weight fiberglass replica of our existing wooden boat and building a new telemetry system so that every electrical and mechanical performance charac¬ teristic of the boat can be moni¬ tored from the shore on a laptop,” Jones said. The team made headlines for their success both in and out of the water. The worth of the proj¬ ect allowed students to apply their intuition, classroom knowledge and technical skills in an effort to craft this remarkable boat. 102 Academics BOSS H20G pulls ahead against other colleges ' solar energy boats at the annual competition. The original boat was constructed in 1999, and since then, the team had used many of the original parts ex¬ cept for completely redesign¬ ing the hull in 2002 to further outperform the competition.

Photo by Vance Green ; 104 A Academics New majors and minors at UA offer chances for students to expand their education in diverse fields Carolyn Finnie A new year brought new majors and minors from which UA stu¬ dents were able to choose. Two new minors were added to the Dale Bumpers College of Ag ¬ riculture, Food and Life Sciences. In the animal science department, the Dorothy E. King Equine Pro¬ gram offered students the chance to learn horse management and training techniques. The equine science minor re¬ quired 20 additional hours. Classes included introduction to the equine industry, principles of equine behavior and training, seedstock and horse merchandis¬ ing and horse production. Nancy Jack described the new program as “very successful.” Jack was the director of the Dorothy E. King Equine Program and was responsible for the devel¬ opment and management for the new minor. “Students learned all aspects of taking care of horses, including raising, training and selling them,” Jack said. The program also offered two in¬ ternships in barn management and breeding barn for students “to get hands-on experience,” Jack said. Emiko Blair, a senior animal sci¬ ence major had taken most of the required classes when she realized she could also pursue the equine science minor with only adding a couple of additional classes. “I liked being able to focus on one of the major loves in my life: horses,” Blair said. “I’ve been raised around them my entire life and really enjoyed getting to take classes that were centered around the equine industry.” Approximately 22 students had declared a minor in equine science for the fiscal year. “I love that they have created a minor, especially since I had taken all the classes anyway just because they were of interest to me,” Blair said. “This will help people outside the animal science department who love horses benefit more from taking the classes that interest them.” Overall, the students gained tre¬ mendously from the additions. With the amount of growth in only the first year of the program, it promised to be a popular minor for students and the department alike. Dale Bumpers also added a wild life habitat minor to the depart¬ ment of crop, soil and environ¬ mental science. To receive a minor in wildlife habitat, students need¬ ed a total of 20 semester hours ' of courses. Of the 20 hours, twelve were required science courses, includ¬ ing plant science, soil science and plants and environmental restora¬ tion. The remaining eight credit hours came from a number of dif¬ ferent courses, and nine hours of common course work counted to¬ wards a student’s major as well as the minor. Other majors and minors in col¬ leges that were added in the fall of 2004 showed promise for a growth in each department. The first years typicaly started off as building years and as the num¬ ber of students grew, thus the pro¬ gram would follow in growth and acclaim. In the fall of 2004, the School of Architecture added landscape architecture studies for a bachelor of science. The College of Education and Health Professions added a mas¬ ters of nursing and science and a PHD in education foundations. The College of Engineering also added a new masters degree in bio¬ medical engineering. The new majors and minors were great additions for the UA. As the student body increased, students had more opportunites and were able to broaden their horizons as they prepared for their futures.

Jason Smith, a graduate assis¬ tant, won honors for his graphic design of a poster for the univer¬ sity-produced musical, “Parade.” Graduate assistant Sarah Carraher was a runner-up in the Barbizon Scene Design competition, and Ruby Billig, a graduate assistant, was a Barbizon Costume Design runner-up. Five actors and actresses were also chosen as finalists for the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship. Cara Gerlock, a graduate assistant, received the KCACTF Award of Excellence in Theater, given in recognition of her tremendous ef¬ forts and contributions in college theater.

Many scouts attended the national festi¬ val to look for new talents. In preperation, Edwards corre¬ sponded with an assigned student- director before the festival and was allowed to do re-writes and edits before the competition. The KCACTF was a national theater program that involved ap¬ proximately 18,000 students from colleges and universities nation¬ wide. Seven plays from universi¬ ties across the region were present¬ ed, as well as workshops, lectures, competitions and design exhibits. A total of 872 students from the region put forth both their time and energy into the festival competitions.

The SPS worked hard to become active on campus again with the help of faculty member Gay Stewart. So¬ ciety members such as Marsh, who was president of the SPS, were responsible for organizing and set¬ ting up events, as well as making sure the students had a good time. “To prepare for High School Physics Day we had to create all the rules for the competitions, in¬ vite area schools to come, ask fac¬ ulty members to help judge events and prepare certificates and priz¬ es,” Marsh said. The visiting students were giv¬ en tours of the research labs on campus and viewed physics dem¬ onstrations. They also competed in competitions designed to en¬ tertain, while also teaching them about physics. Members of the UA faculty judged the competitions. Events included an Albert Ein¬ stein look-alike contest in honor of the World Year of Physics, a poster contest and a paper tower contest in which students tried to physicsfrenzy However, the events both high school and college students en¬ joyed the most were the egg drop and the rocket launch. In the egg drop, students had to construct a container in which two raw, unfro¬ zen, untreated chicken eggs would survive a drop of 60 to 80 feet. The container had to fit into a 50 cm cube and could not contain any aerodynamic devices. “The egg drop provided for some funny entries, including a giant plastic container filled with sand that exploded on impact,” Marsh said. “Also, there was the entry that had two eggs inside a container of flour that turned into a wanna-be cake on impact.” In the rocket launch, students modified a two-liter soda bottle to be launched with a specified amount of water at a specific air pressure. The rockets were judged by their time in the air and the originality of the design. “The rocket launch and egg drop are the easiest to tell stories about,” Marsh said. “We had one rocket that launched sideways into the crowds watching.” Despite such minor mishaps, the event went well, and both UA and high school students enjoyed a day of food, fun and physics. “Most students were very recep¬ tive and enjoyed spending the day here with the physics students and faculty,” Marsh said. “The best part for me is watching the high school students’ enthusiasm for physics. We hope that next year the event will be even better.” Physics Frenzy 109 Senior and KXUA station man¬ ager Bo Counts talks to listen¬ ers on the 24-hour, live radio station. Not only did Counts serve as manager, but he also hosted his own show on Sun¬ day afternoons. Photo by Vance Green Arkansas Traveler editor Chri n explains the layout of the newspaper’s front page. As editor, Peterson was respon¬ sible for arranging the layout of the paper and choosing the front page content. Photo by Gigi Holder UA students gain experience and leadership in the five divisions of Student Media Mallory Smith Spanning from north of Ft. Smith to Rogers, KXUA 88.3 FM had offered eclectic music to stu¬ dents and the community for five years. On April 1, the radio station celebrated its fifth birthday with a party for the UA community. The party featured musical performanc¬ es from musicians from all over the country. The show promoted the station’s commitment to providing students with music they could not hear anywhere else. Five years ago, KXUA was formed from KRFA, a closed-cir¬ cuit radio station in the area. It became a registered student orga¬ nization, and a year later, it be¬ came a division of the UA’s stu¬ dent media. Bo Counts, KXUA station manager , had worked with KXUA since its establishment. He began as a DJ and was later selected as sta¬ tion manager. As station manager, Counts arranged weekly executive board meetings, communicated with record labels and broadcast companies, hosted his own show on Sundays and organized about 40 volunteers. “It is hard to organize 40 people who voluntarily give up their time and energy,” Counts said. “I am a full-time student, and this could easily be a full-time job.” Counts, who was also a com¬ munications major with a minor in Asian studies, said the hardest part of his job was balancing time between school and work, some¬ times being in the office three times longer than his designated office hours. He also worked a sec¬ ond part-time job. “Since we are a 24-hour live ra¬ dio station, I am on call all day,” Counts said. “But, the job is fun too; I never stress about coming to work.” The goal of KXUA was to pro¬ vide a learning experience for its DJs and a unique selection of mu¬ sic for its listeners. The listeners get to learn about music that you can not hear on other radio sta¬ tions in the area, while the DJs get real-world experience working on a 100 percent live radio station, Counts said. “If a listener tunes in and does not like what they hear, they some¬ times won’t listen to us again,” he said. Despite this, the volunteers and staff for KXUA still promoted unique music. In a given day, a listener heard music that ranged from African tribal music to elec- tronica. KXUA was broadcast at 500 watts. “That’s not much compared to other radio stations, but our transmitter is at the highest point in Fayetteville,” Counts said. The radio station was also broadcast on UATV, Cable Access Television and worldwide via the Internet. “A man from France sent us an e-mail the other day saying how he listens to our station on the Inter¬ net and he loves it,” Counts said. “Our main goal as a station is to show students that there is more music out there than what is read¬ ily available,” Counts said. “We really try not to be the cliche col¬ lege radio station; we want to be appealing to everyone.” Along with Counts, Chris Pe¬ terson, editor of the Arkansas Traveler led another division of student media. Peterson was at the top in a long chain of command that included section editors, section designers, copy editors and advertising repre¬ sentatives. On any given day, Pe¬ terson faced a wide array of tasks and expectations. “I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything,” said Peterson, who enjoyed getting involved with the student body. “Journalism students are lucky to have the newspaper to use as a lab.” Other entities of student media include the Razorback yearbook, UATV and The Ozark Review, a literary magazine dedicated to publishing students’ fictional lit¬ erature. News Worthy ►111 School of Social Work offers field internship program that gives real life experience to un¬ dergraduate and graduate students Carolyn Finnie Answering crisis lines, counsel¬ ing and program planning was all in a day’s work for PJ Hamill, who interned at the Northwest Arkan¬ sas Crisis Center as part of the field internship program within the UA School of Social Work. Yet, HamiU’s daily duties en¬ tailed so much more. While earn¬ ing credit towards her Master’s degree, she received excellent hands-on experience in the field she loved. The field internship program provided students with the op¬ portunity to develop and enhance skills related to social work inter¬ vention with individuals, families, groups and communities. Fifty students were selected each semester for the internship portion of the Bachelor (BSW) and Mas¬ ters (MSW) social work programs. They were placed at agencies such as Headstart, the Juvenile Deten¬ tion Center, Komen Foundation and Children’s House. Undergraduate students were placed at an agency and complet¬ ed 220 hours per semester, which translated to approximately 16 hours per week. Graduate students completed anywhere from 900 to socia solvers 990 hours per semester, depend¬ ing on if a student had received a degree in social work. All students were placed under the supervision of a licensed social worker; there¬ fore, students were doing the work of a professional, Dehhy Hall said. “Students are able to integrate classroom learning experience with actual practice experience,” said Hall, the field program coor¬ dinator. Students received four hours of credit for the actual field work and two hours of credit for the weekly in-class seminar. Hall described the program as a very successful part of the School of Social Work because the expe¬ rience at the field internships led students to jobs. Hamill was a first year master’s student who decided to pursue a master’s degree in social work after her bachelor’s degree since most of the jobs she pursued required the degree. She chose and created her internship position at the Crisis Center. Her favorite part of the intern¬ ship was taking critical incident stress management training. Hamill also exten sively used a resource book put together by the Crisis Center which listed basic resources such as utilities, food, clothing and shelter and also had referrals for counseling services, hotlines and support groups. “A lot of people just think ho¬ tline, but it’s a whole lot more,” Hamill said. “I’ve learned how to intervene in a crisis and direct them to counseling, which are two very different things,” Hamill said. “It also taught me how to stabilize somebody.” Hamill planned for her next internship during her second year to be teaching interpersonal vio¬ lence prevention to high school students. “I want to somehow work with victims of sexual crimes,” she said. Overall, the field program en¬ abled students to demonstrate the social work knowledge, skills and values acquired in the classroom and put it to practical use in social field experience, all the while ben¬ efiting members of the area com¬ munity. 112 Academics Social Solvers V 113 Megan Garner scholars in a variety of fields The UA Honors College was known for its bright students, unique classes and the prestigious awards its students frequently at¬ tained. 2005 was no exception with a Truman Scholar, a Rhodes District finalist and more than 120 who won research grants.

The Barry M. Goldwater Schol¬ arship and Excellence in Education Program awarded scholarships to college students who intended to pursue a career in science, math¬ ematics and engineering. To qualify for a scholarship, ap¬ plicants had to be entering their junior or senior year and have prior involvement in research or experience working in a lab envi¬ ronment. Students then submitted a re¬ search proposal outlining a proj¬ ect that not only fit the applicant’s field of interest but also affected the scientific community as a whole. “The application involves an es¬ say on your current research work which had to be fairly in depth and work you had made some progress on,” junior biochemistry major Ami SriRamaratnam said. “There were also questions about your future career plans and events in your life that helped you decide on a career in science, math or engineering,” she said. “It can be tough because you need to be pretty specific about what your plans are after you graduate.” The two other Goldwater Schol¬ ars were sophomore biochemistry major Josh Liu and Justin Vines, a physics and French double major. Liu planned to conduct research at a research-oriented medical school, and Vines planned to con¬ duct research and publishings on quantum field theory or quantum gravity. He also wanted to teach and advise students in the physics department at a university. Goldwater Scholars were select¬ ed from a field of 1,091 applicants and awarded up to $7,500 a year. The first Goldwater Scholarship awarded to a UA student was in 1990. Since then, the university had produced 30 Goldwater schol¬ arship winners. “I found out [I won] the night I returned from a spring break trip to India and Sri Lanka,” SriRa¬ maratnam said. “So I was pretty exhausted by the time I got back to my apartment. I saw a big envelope on the counter, and I couldn’t figure out what it was un¬ til I saw the label and I knew. It was an awesome help financially. Academically, it is a great thing to have on a resume when applying for graduate schools.” Student winners attributed their success to the helpful professors and faculty in the Honors College, who were on hand to write recom¬ mendations, proofread essays and give students a hand whenever they could. “I have to give a lot of credit to Dr. McCray; she is an awesome person when it comes to getting help for applying for anything,” SriRamaratnam said. “She knows what committees look for in ap¬ plicants and responses to all those kind of personal statement type of questions. She’s a tireless proof¬ reader also.” Liu credited his success to the guidance and direction of the Honors College staff. “This award was one of the highest honors that I had ever received,” Liu said. “I thank the Honors College and all my profes¬ sors who helped make my applica¬ tion a success.” 114 Academics Junior Ami SriRamaratnam conducts an experiment in the chemistry and biochemistry research building.

Courtesy Photo Students expand their horizons by studying overseas and experiencing new cultures Jill Griffin Many students at the UA dreamt of the opportunity to be¬ come completely immersed in a different culture and country for a year, a semester or a summer, and for some it was an exciting reality. The study abroad program pro¬ vided students with opportunities that they might not have had the chance to pursue otherwise. The study abroad program ad¬ ministered summer, semester and year programs for students in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sci¬ ences and facilitated study abroad program for all UA students. In the fall of 2004, 46 students studied abroad. When asked if they would do it again most said they would in a heartbeat. Zack Taylor, j unior international finance and German major, decid¬ ed to take part in the study abroad program. Taylor, with some of his friends, also UA students, studied at the University of Newcastle in Australia for the semester. Classes that students took in other countries were oftentimes taught and formatted differently than here at the UA. JD Weath¬ ers, a junior mechanical engineer¬ ing major, also attended the Uni¬ versity of Newcastle in the fall of 2004- Weathers said that the class¬ es in Newcastle were formatted with most of the focus on the final exam. Weathers said the curricu¬ lum at Newcastle was based from the British system in which the classes do not have homework. Weathers said the students in his classes were more laid-back and “relaxed because they do not have to pay for their school, similar to the high school system here.” When students embarked into journeys on foreign soil, adapting to the culture was one of the most difficult tasks. In Australia, the culture is easy to get used to, Taylor said. “We spent our free time surfing, travel¬ ing, scuba diving, sailing, laying on the beach [and] going to pubs,” he said. Taylor and his friends had many adventures while in Australia. “We flew up the coast of Aus¬ tralia to Cairns and then took a bus the 35-hour drive back and stopped at random cities and stayed for a couple nights. We went out on the town, and just had a good time,” Taylor said, remembering one of the adventures. UA scholarships were available for students interested in study abroad. Some financial aid grants were also available for approved study abroad programs. In the spring semester of 2005, 47 students went abroad to con¬ tinue their education. Whether the students chose to study abroad to learn a foreign lan¬ guage or to experience a different culture, their lives had been en¬ riched by this opportunity. In the summer of 2005, 163 stu¬ dents planned to study abroad. The summer programs usually lasted one month. They were primarily taught in English, with a few ex¬ ceptions. Some summer programs included studying the classic liter¬ ature in Greece, art in Rome and theater in London. Two of the most popular coun¬ tries in which students chose to study were Italy and England. Other popular destinations in¬ cluded Spain, Mexico, Costa Rica, Australia, Greece, France, Cana¬ da, Jordan, Ireland and Japan. “All the words in the world could not begin to describe the insight and personal experience I have gained from living, speak¬ ing and becoming a part of the Swedish culture,” said Catherine Erickson, a student who studied in Sweden. “Not only did it open my mind to a more global perspective, it also gave me a deeper understand¬ ing of the different kinds of people and cultures that exist outside of America. I can say without a doubt that my semester abroad has been a truly enriching and inspir¬ ing part of my life.” Beyond Borders 117 “Phenomenal finanical wizards” manage the third largest trust fund in the nation Carolyn Finnie A group of clever finance stu¬ dents sat around a table deep with¬ in the Sam M. Walton College of Business and discussed their most current holdings in healthcare, information technology, energy and oil stock in companies such as Acxiom, General Electric and Ty¬ son Foods. Dr. Craig Rennie, their faculty advisor and an assistant professor of finance with the Walton Col¬ lege of Business, accurately de¬ scribed the students as “phenom¬ enal financial wizards.” The 12 seniors were picked through an extensive interview process to become the 2004-05 managers of the Rebsamen Trust Fund, a student-run investment portfolio. The students managed three large trust funds. The largest, the Raymond Rebsamen Foundation, started in 1917 with just $100,000. This year, the fund was valued at more than $1.2 million. J ust like any other class, they met each week and received a grade. It was organized into a team with two portfolio co-managers and 10 sec¬ tor industry analysts. “They gain experience in the real world, grilling potential hirees or employees,” Rennie said. “It’s as if you were sitting down with 12 analysts.” The class made a trip to New York City over spring break and visited a number of financial com¬ panies including Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan where executives spoke to them about the financial industry. They also gave advice on how to get their foot in the door in many different fields of the in¬ dustry including portfolio manage¬ ment, investment banking, sales and trading and equity research. The highlight of the trip was visiting the New York Stock Ex¬ change. “We got to go on the floor of the NYSE to get to see first-hand all the trading that takes place,” senior Mary French said. “It was incredible.” The group also went to Dayton, Ohio to participate in the Redefin¬ ing Investment Strategy Education (RISE) conference, along with 135 other portfolio classes from differ¬ ent schools. At the conference, the students competed in a portfolio manage¬ ment competition based on percent returns, as well as marketing mate¬ rials and presentation. The Rebsa¬ men Trust Portfolio placed first in the student-managed investment fund competition for undergradu¬ ate funds. It also had the highest 2004 total return percentage gain among competition participants. “It was such a great feeling to know that we performed so well,” French said. “Our year-to-date returns are approximately 29 per¬ cent. That number puts us in the top one percent of portfolio man¬ agers on the planet.” The benefits of the class were truly remarkable, especially the hands-on experience that led to potential jobs. Senior Joe Edelstein was the Consumer Staples and Fixed In¬ come Analyst for the Rebsamen Trust. He also worked at Tyson Foods over the year. “[The class] also helped us branch out. Every job I’ve inter¬ viewed for and got, I made because of this class,” said Edelstein. “I have learned more from this hands-on experience than 1 have ever learned in a classroom set¬ ting,” French said. “I was able to prepare for my job search and find a great job that will allow me to learn even more about my passion in finance.” The Rebsamen Trust Fund was the third largest, as well as third oldest of its kind, in the nation. The class allowed the students to learn about investments through their management of the portfo¬ lio. “This class has by far been the best experience of my college ca¬ reer,” French said. Seniors Laura Katherine Tamas and Natasha Triandafil- lias check the stocks that the professionals managed for the student-run investment portfolio.

After developing a business plan and name for their business, the stu¬ dents received faculty approval of the course and started a venture that continued to thrive. The Students Acquiring Knowl¬ edge through Enterprise (S.A.K.E) business was a non-profit organiza¬ tion headquartered in the Walton College of Business. The business was fully operated by the students, who dealt with real business issues, real customers and real money. “S.A.K.E gives students a real- world experience that a classroom just can’t provide,” said Kimie Shrum, the S.A.K.E. Marketing Team Leader. Every year, S.A.K.E. students decided on the businesses to pur¬ sue. In 2000, Dickson Street prints were presented along with offering multiple rubbings. In 2001, stu¬ dents worked to offer marble di¬ plomas. This year, the business created and sold framed sets of diplomas with chalk rubbings of names on the Senior Walk to alumni with the slogan “It’s a $40,000 piece of paper, don’t you want it to look nice?” To become an employee of S.A.K.E., students applied and in¬ terviewed, just like any other job. “To be in S.A.K.E. you must ap¬ ply and go through an interview process as with any job, because being enrolled in the class makes you an employee,” Shrum said. The students were involved in every aspect of the business from marketing to accounting and managing. They committed them¬ selves to helping the business suc¬ ceed and worked countless hours to see the success. “We all work very hard, com¬ mitting not only to the three hours per week of class, but also three hours per week of office hours,” Shrum said. A major aspect of the organiza¬ tion was decision-making in busi¬ ness and entrepreneurship. With approximately 15 students and two faculty advisors, the expe¬ rience that students gained from the S.A.K.E. business helped them tremendously after graduation. Students were divided into teams such as marketing, new product development, informa¬ tion systems, accounting and op¬ erations. In an age when job competi¬ tion was tight, the skills S.A.K.E. members learned in their field while participating in the student- run business were vital to have in a business setting. “It’s the number one thing em¬ ployers ask about when our alumni interview for jobs,” Shrum said. Even when the organization traveled, S.A.K.E. focused on the business aspects of the trip instead of enjoying some leisure time. Each semester, S.A.K.E. used some of its profits to take an educational trip to another country. Past trips included Costa Rica, China and many more interesting places. In the spring semester of 2005, the students raised enough money to go to Hong Kong to study various businesses. Although the class only met two days each week, it wasn’t nec¬ essarily a class filled with lectures, homework and exams; it was an actual business meeting. S.A.K.E. was merely seven years old and had already developed an excellent reputation at the UA and beyond. The students learned that the real experience in busi¬ ness was much more beneficial than anything found in an old textbook. Ambitious Entrepreneurs 121 ambitiousentrepreneurs Jill Griffin legalreview New journal in UA Law School addresses legal issues concerning the food industry In the U. S., the government, food companies and consumers pore over legal concerns with the food industry every day, asking many questions. In response to the over¬ whelming questions about regula¬ tions of the food industry, the UA School of Law created and edited the country’s first student-edited legal journal during the 2004-2005 academic year. Students edited the Journal of Food Law and Policy, which addressed legal issues that surrounded the food industry. The journal dealt with several hot topics in the food industry such as Mad Cow disease, fast food leading to obesity claims and ge¬ netically-modified food. Articles in the journal were written by many prestigious names in the field of law. Every issue of the journal in¬ cluded a U.S. food law update and a European food law update. For the future, authors hoped to fea¬ ture international updates, as well. The idea for the journal began because of a connection between many different people in the law school. Professor Michael Rob¬ erts, director of the National Agricultural Law Center and expert on Food Law, was very interested in the opportunity to produce a specialty law jour¬ nal in this emerging area of law. Interviews were held in the fall of 2003 to hire a team of dedicated law students who were willing to edit the journal. The top 25 percent of each class was invited to turn in applications. In the spring of 2004, six second-year students were hired to be on the first editorial board. The board was under the su¬ pervision of a faculty journal committee chaired by Lon¬ nie Beard, professor of law. Margie Alsbrook, editor-in-chief of the journal, said that being on the editorial board was a great oppor¬ tunity and an in-depth process in which she learned something new everyday. The whole experience was “starting from scratch” she said. The first edition of the Journal was published in the spring of2005. Alsbrook said that it was very exciting to be the first to edit this type of publication and she en¬ joyed the “joy, responsibility and honor that comes with that.” Food law and policy was an important subject matter because food af¬ fects everyone and their health; food is something that everyone ingests into their bodies, she said. Scholars, legal experts and stu¬ dents from around the world were invited to submit articles for the publication. Not only was the jour¬ nal a great opportunity for the stu¬ dents to become involved, but it also added to the respect of the UA as a research-centered university. One of the final and most im¬ portant steps the editors had to make was deciding on the cover of the food law journal. “The hardest thing about choos¬ ing the cover was picking some¬ thing eye-catching but classical at the same time. Generally in law reviews and journals, they tend to be very conservative, we are trying to walk the line with the cover,” Alsbrook said. The cover was designed and created by a UA alumni that was very interested in producing a fan¬ tastic cover which reflected the hard work included in the journal. Alsbrook was excited about the final steps and comple¬ tion of the journal. “Everything turned out perfect,” she said. “This has been, by far, the most challenging, rewarding, fun, edu¬ cational and all around won¬ derful experience I’ve ever had, mostly because of the wonder¬ ful and supportive law school administration, faculty advisors and student staff,” Alsbrook said. 122 Academics ournal of- D LAW )UCY- Issue One spring 2005 Essays Policy: An Essay eter Barton Hutt ' : Devolution or Restoration ?

Lee created his interdisci¬ plinary program in micro¬ electronics-photonics. Photo by Vance Green Interdisciplinary program for graduate stu¬ dents allows build-a-program option in seven distinct areas Jill Griffin Studying across disciplines be- came a major trend in universi¬ ties around the U.S. Jihoon Lee, a graduate student in the UA microelectronics-photonics inter¬ disciplinary program, said that he enjoyed being a part of the trend and thinks that it will better pre¬ pare him for his future. The microelectronics-photonics program, directed by Ken Vickers, began in the fall of 2000 and gave the students the opportunity to participate in cross-departmental research, take applications-inten- sive classes from multiple engi¬ neering and science departments and develop workplace productiv¬ ity skills in a simulated industrial environment. “The program steps away from the conventional engineering graduate programs,” Lee said. “We learn management skills with rela¬ tion to engineering firms by taking a six-hour course. We learn how to run the engineering companies.” Students in the MS program completed a Bachelor of Science degree in a difficult science or en¬ gineering field and completed a math sequence through differen¬ tial equations and a calculus-based physics sequence through an in¬ troduction to modern physics. Students in the Ph.D. program had a Master of Science degree from a science or engineering program that interacted with mi¬ croelectronics-photonics research programs, and graduate students’ coursework was designed based on each student’s records and experi¬ ence. Graduate students conducted research under Greg Salamao, a professor in the physics depart¬ ment. Baolai Liang, a third year graduate student in the program was excited to work on quantum dots and optical properties as his research. In addition to the microelectron¬ ics-photonics program, six other programs were offered at the UA: cell molecular biology, com¬ parative literature, environmental dynamics, plant science, public policy and space and planetary sciences. Since the development of inter¬ disciplinary programs at the UA, graduate students had more oppor¬ tunities and freedoms within their graduate studies. Interdisciplinary programs al¬ lowed graduate students to work with faculty members across disci¬ plines to design graduate programs that would better prepare them for “real world” demands of a job. Graduate students worked with faculty to custom design their pro¬ gram. The idea was that students grad¬ uating from Masters and Ph.D. programs were at a disadvantage because they were thoroughly edu¬ cated in only one discipline. Thus, faculty researchers devel¬ oped programs in which each stu¬ dent’s graduate education would be directly helpful to the student. In interdisciplinary programs, students decided specific areas of research that they would like to pursue. Then, a graduate coordi¬ nator and student collaborated to determine which faculty and departments would need to work with the student on his or her re¬ search and thesis or dissertation. Graduate students worked close¬ ly with a faculty committee chosen to “enhance the student’s learning experiences in their chosen area of study,” said Diane Cook, a gradu¬ ate recruiter. “Within a program, each student can have a faculty committee that is different from that of another student in the same program,” Cook said. Interdisciplinary programs pro¬ vided students with versatility within their studies.

Photo by Vance Green 128 Academics UA libraries provide students with an abundance of resources Searching the shelves, a UA student tries to select a book from the volumes in Mullins. In addition to serving as the ultimate resource for find¬ ing study materials, students went to the library for every¬ thing from study rooms to laptops that could be checked out. Photo by Vance Green Jill Griffin At a “student-centered research university” such as the University of Arkansas, well-maintained and helpful libraries were key compo¬ nents of campus life. The main library on campus was the David W. Mullins Library. There were also several extensions of Mullins Library, including the Young Law Library, as well as those within the fine arts, physics and chemistry de¬ partments. The faculty and staff at each of these extensions were more than helpful in their attempt to provide students with the best possible as¬ sistance in utilizing the resources the libraries had to offer. Libraries were not only places to study in peace and quiet. In ad¬ dition, Mullins also served as the site of many exciting exhibits and speeches. Throughout the 2004-05 aca¬ demic year, Mullins hosted numer¬ ous impressive art exhibits, includ¬ ing the Native American artwork of Charles Banks Wilson and the artistic legend, John Biggers. In the fall of 2004, South Afri¬ can Ambassador Barbara Maseke- la presented a speech in Mullins on the challenges of human rights and globalization in her native land of South Africa. Along with speeches and exhib¬ its, the special collections division within Mullins was one of the rea¬ sons the library intrigued students and faculty alike. Among these special collections were E. Fay Jones’ relics, which brought architecture students and professionals from around the country to Arkansas in order to complete their research. Tom Dil¬ lard, head of special collections, said that an architecture student from Yale University was here for a week in January. Dillard said that the UA librar¬ ies “document a long period of Ar¬ kansas history.” This division also housed many Arkansas politicians’ papers, as well as records from Arkansas schools, churches, businesses and social organizations. Judy Ganson, director for collection manage¬ ment services and systems, said the archives and documents held by the libraries were extremely interesting. Such commodities as the J.William Fulbright, E. Fay Jones and William Grant Still pa¬ pers were internationally known, Ganson said. Primarily, the libraries were for students to utilize during their ca¬ reer at the UA. “Any student from a freshman to a Ph.D. student can have access to all of this information when we are open,” Dillard said. In addition to offering learning services for students, the libraries also offered jobs through the UA’s work-study program. This year ap¬ proximately 125 students worked in the library, Ganson said. “This library could not func¬ tion without student workers; no library could,” Dillard said. Junior Tracy Ego, a work-study employee at Mullins and mechan¬ ical engineering major, said that the library was one of the most im¬ portant places on campus. “Even if you do not use the li¬ brary for its materials, it is very beneficial to go there to do your studying. There are study rooms available for groups that want to study together, and there are lap¬ tops that can be checked out that must stay in the library,” Ego said. To many students, a trip to the library was seen as a dreaded ex¬ perience - a time to really buckle down, to do extensive research for that ten page paper, to finally study for that final. But dreaded as it was, there was no doubt that the library aided students when those unpleasant times arose. No other building on campus could provide the resourc¬ es and quiet atmosphere that stu¬ dents could find inside the library’s walls. Beyond Books 129 Emily Milholen mair ncian System President B. Alan Sugg tells all about his job and dedication to the UA For many UA students, B. Alan Sugg was a name heard only in passing, a name associated with press conferences, announcements and major University events, a name read in newspapers or seen on local news stations. But no students fully understood what it meant to carry the title UA system president. For, serv¬ ing as the president of a 1.6 billion dollar annual operation that em¬ ployed around 16,000 people was no easy task. A native of Arkansas and a UA alumni, Sugg was serving in his 15th year in this capacity. Sugg came to the UA on a track scholarship and received his un¬ dergraduate degree in 1960.After serving time in the army, Sugg then came back to Fayetteville to attend graduate school. Sugg worked many years in Tex¬ as higher education prior to being named system president in 1990. As system president, Sugg faced various tasks each and every year. He spent much of his time work¬ ing with Arkansas legislature, seeing after the UA system’s ap¬ propriations. He also worked ex¬ tremely closely with the UA Board of Trustees. But Sugg saw his main priority as being sure that only the best leaders were chosen for positions within the UA system. “My number one job is to be sure we have good leadership on our campuses,” Sugg said. And, as with any job, there were aspects that Sugg truly loved and others of which he was not quite as fond. When asked what he saw as the best part of his job, Sugg did not have to think twice about his an¬ swer. “What I really enjoy more than anything else is to see results, to see great things happen and to see the progress,” Sugg said with no hesitation. “That’s happening here, and a tremendous amount of money has been raised for this campus and for the students.” Conversely, Sugg saw the mini¬ mal interaction with students as the downside of his role. “My job now is to work with leadership on the campuses,” Sugg said. “I miss the part of the inter¬ action and seeing direct results.” But even though his direct in¬ teraction was limited, Sugg clearly understood the importance of the UA and its student body. “The University of Arkansas system has an enormous impact on the future of Arkansas,” Sugg said. “It has a real influence on the state.” And in turn, Sugg also realized the benefits of attending such a prominent institution of higher education. “Going to the UA is a great asset if you’re going to be in Ar¬ kansas because you make so many contacts all over the state,” Sugg said. It was not too often that an em¬ ployee loved their job as much as Sugg loved his position at the UA. But this was easy for Sugg, as his feelings for his alma mater were grounded in tradition. He saw the UA as more than just his place of employment. He saw it as his home, an institution in which he had as much pride as when he was a student. “Just like a whole lot of other people who attended the Univer¬ sity, some of the best years of my life were spent while I was an un¬ dergraduate,” Sugg said. “I really feel strongly about the University, and I’m loyal to it, and I’ll do ev¬ erything I can to help it be good.” 130 A ' Academics UA System President visits with Razorback Editor-in-Chief Emily Milholen.

When thousands of us gathered together, sporting Razorback red, calling the Hogs, singing the “Fight Song,” our emotions reached an unknown high. A victory gave us chills; a defeat made us cry.

For those stu¬ dents defended our honor and our name ... they defended Division 133 goldgetters UA track stars compete amongst the world’s greatest athletes and battle for top spots in Athens Megan Garner As drivers approached the city limits of Fayetteville, they were greeted by a sign proclaiming the town “The Track and Field Capital of the World.” Any doubts about the validity of that title were put to rest at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, where former Razor- back and Lady’Back track stars surpassed some of the best athletes in the world. With five former Lady’Backs competing, the 2004 Olympics was an especially glorious occas- sion for head coach Lance Harter, who had coached Olympians be¬ fore but never had any of his for¬ mer students receive a medal until the Athens Games. LaShaunte’a Moore advanced to the semi-finals in the 200-me- ter dash, while Trine Pilskog ran in the 1,500-meter preliminaries for Norway. Nicole Teeter, made the Olympic team as an 800-me¬ ter runner but did not qualify for the finals. Former Lady’Back Dee- na Kastor brought home a bronze medal in the women’s marathon, making her the first American in 20 years to receive a medal for marathon running. But the highlight of the Games came when UA student Veron¬ ica Campbell took the gold and heard her national anthem echo throughout the stadium. “I felt such a sense of relief to realize that the hard work and dedication displayed by me and my coach had resulted in such a breath-taking accomplishment,” Campbell said. Campbell became not only the first Lady’Back gold medalist in school history, but also the first multiple gold medalist in school history. Campbell, who ran for the Jamaican team, received a gold medal in the 200-meter dash and the 4x100 meter relay, and a bronze medal in the 100-meter dash. Campbell had previously won a silver medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. “I would say my biggest inspira¬ tions that enabled me to make it to my second Olympic Games are my parents, my soulmate Omar Brown, my coach, my friends and most of all, the will of God,” Campbell said. As for the men, Razorback track coach John McDonnell had coached 23 athletes-turned-Olym- pians since his arrival in 1972, and the 2004 games were no different. The four former Razorbacks who competed were Daniel Lincoln, Alistair Cragg, Melvin Lister and Matt Hemingway. Lincoln, a 12-time all-Ameri¬ can, was the 2004 trials champion and competed in the finals in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Lincoln came in 11th at the finals. Alistair Cragg ran for Ireland in the 5,000- meter race, opting to run for his native country because of his dual citizenship. Cragg earned seven NCAA titles and 13 all-American honors during his three years at the UA. Former Razorback Melvin List¬ er also made the Olympic team but failed to qualify for the final round of his event, the triple jump. How¬ ever, Lister did set a new trials re¬ cord with his incredible jump of 58 feet 4 inches. Matt Hemingway was able to clinch a silver medal for the United States for his outstanding performance in the high jump. Hemingway jumped 7-feet 8-inch¬ es and became the first American to win a medal in the high jump since the 1996 Atlanta Games. Even though not every former Razorback brought home a medal, the coaches, students and fans at the UA could not have been more proud of this elite group. They showed dedication, hard work and skill against the best athletes from all over the world, proving that Fayetteville truly was “The Track and Field Capital of the World.” jump, setting a record with his 58-feet 4-inch 134 Athletics Clearing the jump, former Ar¬ kansas Razorback competes in the 3,000- meter steeplechase at the 2004 Olympic Games.

Reynolds Razorback Stadium quickly filled with red and white. Razorback tattoos adorned cheeks, hand-made t-shirts pep¬ pered the stands and girls and hoys alike bared some skin to paint up, spelling out phrases such as “Go Hogs” and “Beat Texas.” Bud Walton Arena was no dif¬ ferent, with students displaying colorful, home-made signs and wearing the ever-popular flog hats. UA students turned out in droves to cheer on the Razorbacks, and no matter what the sport, the student section was the place where spirits ran high and cheers rang out loud and clear. “The best part of the student section is most definitely the in¬ tensity you felt from everyone there,” senior Austin Jones said. Fans lined up long before kick¬ off, braving the heat and boredom of the lengthy wait. Many times, students were in line for several hours hoping to get prime seats, sometimes even going so far as to camp out the night before, as many did before the September 11 game against Texas. Students of¬ ten passed the time in line talking about the upcoming game, calling the Hogs and, of course, booing any fans in sight from the oppos¬ ing team. Once inside, students were often cramped and crowded and usually had to endure some good-natured jostling. And since there were no reserved or assigned seats, students had to leave to go get food or drinks at their own risk. “The biggest con of the student section is having to show up three or four hours before the game to get a good seat and not being al¬ lowed to bring in anything to drink. You either end up thirsty or poor,” Jones said. But even with the lines, heat and tight quarters, students made sure that their section was a place where energy, noise and hog wild spirit never died down. “No way would I sit in another section. There are only a few years of your life that you’ll be able to sit with all your peers in the stu¬ dent section and go crazy. All of those other sections can wait until I graduate,” Jones said. Some devoted student fans were even willing to travel out of state just to lend their cheers and sup¬ port to the Razorbacks. And stu¬ dent section support was not lim¬ ited to football. As many students do, senior mechanical engineering major John Reynolds purchased student tickets for each football and basketball season during his time as a UA student and fre¬ quently attended baseball games, as well. He even traveled to some away games in support of men’s athletics. “Being able to sit in the student section just makes you feel more a part of the game. After all, what would a game be like without us,” Reynolds said. And while many students may have occasionally wished for the luxury of a skybox seat, they would always carry with them the memo¬ ries and stories from the student section. When they finally graduated and moved out into the world, they also moved out of the student section, leaving many missing the days of body paint and red hair dye. “I’m always going to love the Ra¬ zorbacks, but I don’t think I could ever enjoy a game as much as I do as a student because when you are a student, it feels like they are your Razorbacks,” Reynolds said.

Intently watching the plays, freshman trumpet player Robert Boyd wondered if the Razorbacks would manage to bring home the victory. “The worst part is watching the Hogs lose,” he said. But for Boyd and other members of the Razorback Marching Band, the show went on whether the Hogs won or lost, and they contin¬ ued to show people why they were “The Best in Sight and Sound.” “The first time I saw the Ra¬ zorback Marching Band, I was in seventh grade, and I saw them as the exhibition band at a Region I Marching Contest. They were, of course, electrifying, and it was a dream of mine since then to be¬ come a member,” senior tuba play¬ er Kyle Schoeller said. For many fans, a Razorback football game would not be the same without the marching band and the excitement they bring. But the exhilarating shows week after week took a lot more work than many people realized. “It is a commitment,” senior trumpet player Dennis Toliver said. “We work as long and hard as athletes to pull off the great work we perform.” Band members began work on their music and halftime shows one week before school started with nine-hour practices. And the hard work did not end once game- day rolled around. Members were required to he in uniform and ready for the game hours before kick off and were not finished until long after the stands had emptied. “I’d say the worst part of march¬ ing band is the amount of work that goes into performing for a show,” senior piccolo player Sarah Buckingham said. “We rehearse so much ... hut that is just part of it. But what we do is very rewarding as well. Hear¬ ing the crowd response and being a part of the games is a lot of fun. It is always a rush.” And for many band members, the work was not over when foot¬ ball season ended. Many members of the marching hand were also in the Hogwild Band and Lady Hogwild Band, which performed at men’s and women’s basketball games, as well as the volleyball band, which performed at all home games. But the hours of sweat and ex¬ haustion paid off when the Razor- back Marching Band was nomi¬ nated for the 2005 Sudler Trophy. Ballots completed by all college band directors in the NCAA de¬ cided the winner of the award, which was considered by many to he the Heisman trophy for colle¬ giate bands. The hand took second place, and looked to he a top con¬ tender for next year. But for many members what was even more rewarding than win¬ ning awards were the friendships made and the feeling of having a family away from home. “We really are a big family, and we take care of each other,” senior trumpet player Stewart Scroggins said. Despite the endless hard work involved, being a part of the fam¬ ily that made up the Razorback Marching Band was an experience many members could not imagine being without. “I would tell anyone that is in¬ terested in band here at the UA that you will not ever do anything in your life as exciting as the Ra¬ zorback Marching Band,” sopho¬ more French horn player Rusty Helms said. “You will feel lost without that part of your life.” Resounding Razorbacks 139 While answering interview questions in his office, Timothy Gunter may have seemed calm and col¬ lected, hut on the floor of Bud Walton Arena he was a force with which to be reckoned. He yelled, he clapped, he raced around the court with a sign pro¬ claiming “Razorhack fans are standing.” Gunter, director of athletic bands at the UA, was willing to do almost anything to get fans as excit¬ ed about Razorback athletics as he was. “I love the Razor- backs,” Gunter said. “And I don’t care if they’re playing Tid¬ dlywinks. If they’re playing somebody, I’m gonna go get excited about it and watch them and Flags fly high as the Razorback flagline marches into Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

Courtesy Photo want them to win.” A native of Hope, Ark., Gunter came to the UA as a student in 1974 and got his B.S.E. in music edu¬ cation, later receiving his masters of music in 1993. He held a number of positions at high schools and junior highs before his last position at Rutgers Uni¬ versity in New Jersey. Then he got a call about a position at the UA. “I saw it as an opportunity because I knew what the school was about, and what Arkansas people are like. I was at Rutgers University ... and I had adjusted to that job. I enjoyed it, and I’m not sure I would have left it for any other job but this one. When it opened up, I knew it was my chance. And 1 got lucky and got it. It’s timing. I got lucky and will always think that, hut I worked my rear end off to keep it going.” And just as hard as he pushed himself, Gunter constantly pushed his students to reach their high¬ est potential. “Some kids call me that [a slavedriver]. But if I do that, it’s because I know how talented they are, and I have a high expectation for talented kids. And at the end of the day, they prefer that over not being pushed.” And at the end of his day, it all boils down to his love of the UA, the Razorbacks, and most of all, his job. “I hear people fussing, ‘I hate my job, I hate my life, I hate this and that.’ And I think, I feel so sorry for you. Because if you could just pick up a little bit on what I get to feel when I get up in the morning ... I can’t wait to get here,” Gunter said. “I just love what I do.” 140 Athletics You will not ever do anything in your life as exciting as the Razorback Marching Band.

With the opening of the new facility, the UA had just one more asset for convincing some of the most talented athletic recruits in the nation to become Arkansas Razorbacks. Athletes got their first look at the new facility on Jan. 18. Al¬ though the center was not com¬ pletely finished yet, it opened for workouts, and student athletes were able to test out and begin breaking in the new equipment. “Student athletes were excited about the new facility. To be able to train in a state-of-the-art train¬ ing facility was a great opportuni¬ ty,” Director of Sports Information Kevin Trainor said. “It has also been a big draw for potential stu¬ dent athletes considering Arkan¬ sas in the recruiting process.” The Strength and Condition¬ ing Center, which was funded hy private donations to the Razor- back Foundation, was a 34,000- square-foot facility, with 18,000 square feet of weight room space. The weight room featured hard¬ wood floor coverings emblazoned with the Iron Hog logo of a Ra- zorback lifting a dumbbell as his rippling muscles bulged. All of the weights for the machines had the words “Iron Hog” written across them, with a picture of a Razor- back below, and the sets of silver free-weights were engraved with the same image and words. “The new UA strength and conditioning center features the latest training technology includ¬ ing computer tracking equipment and audio visual displays,” Trainor said.” The Strength and Condition¬ ing Center was open to all eight Razorback men’s sports teams, and the large amount of space in the weight room allowed entire teams to workout together, strengthen¬ ing their bodies as well as their sense of team unity. “Teams were scheduled [to work out] as a unit at specific times. They worked out as a team or as position units. There was also open time available for extended individual work,” Trainor said. In addition to the extensive weight room facilities, the center also featured 16,000 square feet of conditioning space, which includ¬ ed sprint lanes and sand lanes. The facility also maintained its own juice bar to keep the athletes nourished and hydrated during their workouts. The bar was con¬ tinually stocked with sports and health beverages, such as Gato- rade and power snacks. The center was not only a big improvement for the UA strength and conditioning program but was also a strong force in drawing new recruits to the UA, helping the University to compete nationally for such athletes. “The UA strength and condi¬ tioning center has already had a positive impact on recruiting,” Trainor said. “It was opened during the final few weeks of the spring football recruiting weekend. Sev¬ eral student athletes that signed with the UA mentioned the new facility as one of the deciding fac¬ tors in coming to Arkansas.” With state-of-the-art equip¬ ment and the opportunity to train as teams, the Razorbacks were pre¬ paring themselves for victory. And UA students, fans and athletes had yet another exellent reason why it was “Hard to be Humble.” The windows of the new UA Strength and Condition¬ ing Center reflect passing cars on Razorback Road. The center was opened to all eight Razorback men ' s teams on January 18.

Photo by David Yerby Lady’Back soccer team battles the challenges of a tough schedule, a new coach and a young team Megan Garner Looking at the Lady’Back soc¬ cer team’s schedule at the begin¬ ning of the season, fans must have felt their hearts sink. With the ar¬ rival of a new head coach, games against tough teams such as Au¬ burn and Florida and over half of the team comprised of freshmen and sophomores, the chances of seeing any championship action looked bleak. But the Lady’Backs took on the challenge willingly, giving their opponents a run for their money and coming unbe¬ lievably close to the SEC tourna¬ ment. “We were definitely underrat¬ ed,” freshman Ali Harter said. The Lady’Backs began the sea¬ son on the right foot, winning against Tulsa for the first time in nine meetings and enjoying a boom in attendance at home games. However, small mishaps, such as a goal conceded to Auburn and an early score by South Car¬ olina added up at the end of the season. “We started off strong and ended strong. Unfortunately, we couldn’t hold some of the teams we played,” senior Jenni Brashear said. Another challenge for the Lady’Backs was adapting to chang¬ es brought by the arrival of new head coach, Gordon Henderson. “We played a different style of play than the team was used to, but we caught on quickly,” Brashear said. The Lady’Backs finished the season 6-12-2 for the second year in a row, falling only one game short of making the SEC tourna¬ ment. However, the team did not come away from the year empty- handed. With several talented freshmen and sophomores step¬ ping up, the challenging season allowed them to hone their skills and gain the experience needed to compete at the college level. “The year was more of a rebuild¬ ing year, with a lot of our younger players getting a lot of important experience,” junior Carrie Dill- saver said. These young players included freshman Ali Harter, who scored the only goal in the game against Florida, and freshman Sarah Gwis- dala, who was named SEC Player of the Week in early September af¬ ter scoring goals against Vanderbilt and Kentucky. The goal against Vanderbilt was the game-winning shot, and the goal in the Kentucky game kept the Lady’Backs from being shut out. “I think that as a freshman, Sarah came in and was an impact player,” Dillsaver said. Several other players were commended as well, including sophomore Katie Stauffer, who was named to the Southeastern Conference’s Soccer Good Works Team, and Katie Hamilton, who tied the UA record for assists in a single game. And although she was only a sophomore, Carrie Dill- saver proved her worth, with five shutouts in the season, a record for the goalkeeper, setting five Arkan¬ sas records for sophomores. One thing that every player took away from the season was a strong sense of team unity. “This season was the first time since I have been here that the team really meshed off the field, and that helped us to make im¬ provements on the field,” Dillsav¬ er said. “It also made the season a lot of fun.” With only two seniors depart¬ ing at the end of the year and the valuable experience gained by go¬ ing up against a tough schedule, the Lady’Backs took the ups and downs of the season and used them to build a force to be reckoned with on the fields in the coming year. “We will be the team that comes out of nowhere next year,” Harter said.

Spectators lining the marked path leaned out over the makeshift fence as the runners came speeding toward the finish line. Sweat pouring, hearts racing and feet pounding, the UA cross country teams continued to strive for another year of excel¬ lence. Coach John McDonnell once again led the men of the Razor- back cross country team to a suc¬ cessful season. The men started out strong, with junior Luis Bordes finishing in first place at the Ar¬ kansas Invitational on Sept. 3. As the season unfolded, the Razor- backs continued to win, securing first place at every meet of the sea¬ son. The team took first place at the SEC Championships, winning their 31st SEC championship in a row. The Razorbacks hadn’t been without the crown since 1973. The team also truimphed at the NCAA Championship, placing third out of 30 teams. One major asset to the team was the addition of junior Josphat Boit. A native of Eldoret, Kenya, Boit previously ran at Cowley County Community College in Arkansas City, Kas. In his first meet as a Ra- zorback at the Missouri Southern Stampede, Boit placed first and remained undefeated until the NCAA Championships. Boit gar¬ nered several honors, including being named SEC Athlete of the Week twice, for his performances at the Oklahoma State Cowboy Jamboree and the Chili Pepper In¬ vitational. At the SEC Champion¬ ships on Oct. 30, Boit became the first runner since 1999’s Michael Power to win an individual title. Finally, at the NCAA Champion¬ ship Boit took third place, win¬ ning his first career all-American honor. The Lady’Backs Cross Country also did well throughout their sea¬ son, beginning with a first place finish at the Fayetteville Invita¬ tional, and placing second in all but one of their following meets. The women of the team acquired several awards throughout the season, with Alison Rush, Mau¬ reen Scott and Laura Jakosky be¬ ing named all-SEC performers. It was the second time for all three to receive this award. In addition, six of the team’s runners reached all-Region status at the NCAA South Central Regionals. At the NCAA Championships, the Lady’Backs managed to run as a pack, finishing the meet with only 27 seconds between their first and fifth runners. Led by junior Mau¬ reen Scott, who finished 84th at the meet, the team improved their national standings from 19th to an overall finish of 16th. For junior Laura Jakosky, performances like these were an exciting indication of the great things to come. “Over the nearly four years I’ve been part of this team, our train¬ ing has gotten progressively more intense, and the team has ben¬ efited from greater s trength and performance over the entire year. 1 am really excited for my last sea¬ son next fall because our team has learned from mistakes and success¬ es and is hungry to compete well at the NCAAs,” Jakosky said. And as they continued to train hard and strive to be the best, the Lady’Backs drew strength and en¬ couragement from their fans, each other and their coach. “Lance [Harter] is an incred¬ ible coach to run for. He sincerely cares about each of us as people. He balances being an intense, hard-driving coach with being a sypathetic, understanding friend,” Jakosky said. “He is the number one reason I came to the UA, and the number one reason why I tell recruits to come here too.” 148 % Athletics rIAMPJOh Leading the pack, juniors Marc Rodrigues, Josphat Boit and freshman Shawn Forrest hang together at the SEC championship.

Photo by David Yerby seasonUpetlded Following their first bowlless campaign of the Houston Nutt era, Hogs look forward to new season and promising future From the stands of Razorback Stadium, music and cheers filled the air as the thousands of fans attentively watched plays unfold on the field below. When the Ra- zorbacks were defeated, the fans cheered on, in hopes that the next game would go their way. And when the Hogs emerged victori¬ ous, the roar of the crowd spilled out of the stadium and into the streets. But no matter how much the fans hung in there with the team, it was still not enough to help the Razorbacks overcome the overwhelming difficulties of the season. With only one returning starter on defense and three on offense, the loss of five veteran juniors to the pros, including Shawn An¬ drews and Ahmad “Batman” Car- roll, was one that severely hurt the team. It was the first time in school history the team had five juniors go to the NFL. And although the players tried hard to rebuild and make up for the loss, the season was one of disappointments. For the first time since Houston Nutt’s arrival, the Hogs were defeated in Little Rock and did not see any post-season action. “It was disappointing because you expected more,” Nutt said. “But in a lot of ways there was a lot of good things. In a lot of ways the guys that were out there gave a tremendous effort. We were really three or four plays away from being 7 and 4, 8 and 3, going into our seventh consecutive bowl, which would have broken a record. So we’re so close, but your bottom line is you’re a fumble away one game, a penalty away, a missed tackle away.” Although the season was disap¬ pointing, it could have been even more so, had it not been for the arrival of freshmen Peyton Hillis and Marcus Monk. Hillis, who mainly played full¬ back and occasionally tailback, quickly established himself as a leading force on the field. When Hillis injured his back during the Oct. 2 game against Florida, fans were dismayed and many counted him out for the season. But he proved them wrong, getting back into action at the Georgia game and scoring a total of eight touch¬ downs in his first season as an Ar¬ kansas Razorback. Monk, another outstanding freshman, got his chance to lead when he started in the game against Auburn. Monk, who played wide receiver, scored a total of six touchdowns and averaged 15.4 yards per carry. He was named Ar¬ kansas Democrat-Gazette Athlete of the Year during his senior season of high school and was ranked as the number five football prospect in Arkansas by the Morning News. Monk was an asset not only to the football team, but to the basket¬ ball team as well, joining the team once football season was over. With skilled players like Monk and Hillis, the experience gained throughout the year and an in¬ coming hatch of talented recruits, both the team and Coach Nutt were feeling hopeful about the up¬ coming season. “I’m excited. I always get excited about the next season,” Nutt said. “Recruiting was awesome. We had a great recruiting year; I feel like we got some talented guys, some fast guys. But you never know how a freshman from high school is go¬ ing to come in, how mature he is, can he handle it. They all think they can, but you know it’s a dif¬ ferent story when they get on the field. So we’ll see.” Season Upended ? 153 Megan Garner We’re SO close, but the bottom line is you’re a fumble away one game, a „ penalty away...

Photo by David Yerby leqan Garner notoriousff9 Senior sensation Matt Jones steps up as a leader and leaves a lasting legacy Sunken into a plush leather chair with his feet propped up on the coffee table, senior Matt Jones nonchalantly awaited an interview in the Broyles Athletic Center. Wearing an Acme Brick T-shirt, Jones’ shoulder-length, tousled hair sticks out haphazardly from underneath his backwards baseball cap. With only a passing glance, you would hardly recognize him as the star quarterback whose name had become almost synonymous with Razorback football. But on the field, Jones became a legend in UA history. “I met Matt ... at a basketball game,” head coach Houston Nutt said. “The first impression was this big, long, tall, every bit of 6’6, laid hack guy that, when he wanted to be, was extremely fast. He was just a tremendous athlete. You knew you wanted him on your team.” When he arrived at the UA, Jones immediately began to stand out as a strong player, seeing play¬ ing time in the last eight games of his freshman season. In his four years at the UA, Jones played on both the football and basketball teams and set several school re¬ cords, including being the quarter¬ back in the two longest games in NCAA football history. “He’s always been a class act. He’s worked hard, but he gives the impression that he’s not working hard; that’s what’s a little bit odd about Matt,” Nutt said. “But re¬ ally, he’s moving faster than you think he is.” It was that impression of indif¬ ference that occasionally caught fans and commentators off-guard, leading some people to believe that Jones’ lackadaisical attitude meant that he didn’t care. “People that know me know that I care. They know that I’m laid back and that I’m not a rah- rah guy ... but they know that I want to win j ust as bad as the next person,” Jones said. And even when he didn’t win, Jones maintained his confidence, and refused to have regrets. “I don’t know of a whole lot I’d do differently. Of course you’d like to not have a fumble or an inter¬ ception or something like that. But it’s not like I did that on pur¬ pose; I didn’t have any money on the game or anything,” Jones said before cracking a grin. “But I’ve loved every minute I’ve had at Arkansas, and I wouldn’t change anything.” As Jones prepared for the NFL combine following his senior cam¬ paign, his laid-back attitude al¬ lowed him to prove skeptics wrong when he ran the fastest time a quarterback had ever run at the event. “The combine was funny,” Jones said. “You interview ... and these teams would ask you every time what you’re gonna run your 40 in. And I said, ‘Well you know I’ll run a 4:4,’ and they’d write it down and I could just imagine they’re saying ‘He’s lying to me, there’s no way’ ... And I had an interview with the Saints and the coach made a joke about it and made me try to feel bad. So, when I did do good I was looking for him to give him a little wink or something, hut I couldn’t find him.” As Jones prepared to leave the UA for a career in the pros, Hog fans prepared to follow his career, forever supporting him, as he would always be a Razorback in their eyes. For his impact on Ar¬ kansas football would forever be etched in record books and hearts alike. “He showed a lot of character,” Nutt said. “He never flinched, he kept leading us, and he won a lot of games for us. He was a true dif¬ ference maker.” 156 Athletics I’ve loved every minute I’ve had at Arkansas, and I wouldn’t change anything . ■ .

Photo by David Yerby 158 Athletics Lady’Backs do battle in Barnhill, digging their way out from underneath an overwhelming schedule Megan Garner As the beginning of a new seas- son rapidly approached, the wom¬ en of the Lady’Back volleyball team were apprehensive, know¬ ing that they would be facing a pre-conference schedule ranked tenth in the country. To add to their concern, half of the team was freshmen, with only one senior on the team to take the lead. But after a slow start, the team grew into a dominating force, sweeping their opponents, garnering several pres¬ tigious awards and making their seventh trip to the NCAA tour¬ nament. “I think we all had our little worried stages here and there... knowing that half of the team was freshmen, and [we were] going up against basically the best of the best was a huge step for not only the freshmen but the whole team. Still being able to pull out that bid for the NCAA tournament was huge, ” freshman Amanda Es¬ kridge said. The team struggled with the tough competition a bit at the start of the season, winning only two of their first ten games. How¬ ever, nine of the first ten teams the Lady’Backs played against were named in the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s preseason poll. Soon after, things picked up, and with a long string of wins, team members found themselves once again heading to¬ wards the NCAA tournament for the seventh time in their 11 years as a team. At the conference, the team played hard against the 24th ranked Missouri Tigers and fell just short of a victory. The Lady’Backs finished the season with an overall score of 17-16. And although the competition was stiff, some team members said they wouldn’t have it any other way. “1 personally loved it. I love good competition. With it being my last season, 1 would have rather had a tough schedule than an easy one. As a team, I think it made us mature faster and pull together a lot quicker than usual. In the end it was a really good thing for our team,” senior Jennifer Haaser said. As a result of their numerous wins, the team was named West¬ ern Division Co-Champions, sharing the title with Alabama. In addition, several individual play¬ ers gained recognition for their talents. Haaser was named to the SEC Good Works Team. Haaser was also named the SEC Volley¬ ball Scholar Athlete of the Year, becoming the first volleyball play¬ er at the University of Arkansas to earn the honor. Sophomore Kele Brewer made the SEC all-Tourna- ment Team, and among the young¬ er players, freshmen Ashley Miller and Jessica Dorrell made the SEC Freshman Team. Miller also held the record for freshman digs. “I think Jessica [Dorrell] did a terrific job this year,” Haaser said. “She had to step in as a freshman, and she improved every day. I also think Ashley Miller pushed her¬ self, and once she got used to col¬ lege-level play, she did great.” It was encouragement like Haaser’s that fostered a deep sense of cohesion and friendship among the Lady’Backs that was present both on and off the court. “We all became really good friends and really do look out for each other. For next year, this is going to be huge; good bonding on and off the court is great for team chemistry,” Eskridge said. With a strong sense of team unity and the ability to overcome adversities, the Lady’Backs moved toward their next season with re¬ lentless confidence. “This was a great group of girls to play with,” Haaser said. “I know if they work toward what they want, they’ll get it.” Winning Service 159 service Battling in Barnhill, senior k spikes through two Houston defenders.

But an unusually small team with 10 freshmen and a string of injuries slowed the team’s momentum and threatened to cripple their suc¬ cess. “We had a really small team this year, since we graduated a lot of se¬ niors last year, so that was a chal¬ lenge we had to try to overcome,” junior mechanical engineering major Angela Kora said. “[There were] lots of injuries this year, one of our team captains was out with a torn ACL, one diver had to return home due to major illness and two other divers redshirted also, due to injuries and other issues. So that made our already small team even smaller.” One serious loss that affected the whole team was that of fresh¬ man diver Tori Kennedy, who be¬ came ill with aplastic anemia and had to return home for treatment. “Even though she was only here for about three months, she re¬ ally enjoyed her time here and is so excited to get healthy and get back here,” freshman Jamie Hys- lop said. Kennedy and the rest of the Lady’Backs overcame the adversi¬ ties placed before them, and the team finished 9th in the SEC and had several athletes reap individu¬ al honors. “We swam awesome for the most part throughout the season. I think almost everyone achieved lifetime or college best times in at least one event,” Kora said. Individual awards the Lady’Backs earned included fresh¬ man Brieanne Kushner’s being named the SEC Freshman Diver Megan Garner of the Year and junior Kristen Thibodeaux being named to the 2005 SEC Swimming and Diving Good Works Team. “I just felt honored to know that being an athlete and in this posi¬ tion, I am able to make a difference in the community,” Thibodeaux said. “I had to redshirt this year due to ACL surgery, so it was awe¬ some to still be acknowledged.” Other individual honors in¬ cluded senior swimmers Whitney Lynn and Zsuzsa Csobanki quali¬ fying for the NCAA Champion¬ ship. Csobanki also went to the 2004 Olympics in Athens, where she competed for the Hungarian team. But even in Athens, the Lady’Backs were still in Csobanki’s thoughts. “I wore my Razorback cap under my national cap because I wanted to represent Arkansas as well,” Csobanki said. And even though the year’s challenges kept the Lady’Backs from placing higher in the SEC, the team strengthened their ath¬ letes and their sense of team unity through the hard work involved in surmounting the obstacles they faced. “Our team atmosphere and uni¬ ty was really awesome and we got along great,” Thibodeaux said. With improved athletes and team unity, the Lady’Backs were eager to show next season’s com¬ p etition just how much their team has improved over the course of the 2004-05 season “Everyone is always there to sup¬ port you, cheer you on, and push you to your full potential,” Hys- Iop said. “I think next season will he very successful. This year Scott took on a lot of freshmen divers and now that he has done a bit of molding and shaping with every¬ one, we’re all ready to go all out and kick some butt next season.” An Arkansas swimmer comes up for air during the January 10 meet against Tennessee.

When third-year coach Stan Heath took over for the fired No¬ lan Richardson in 2002, Heath laid out a rebuilding plan for his Razorbacks. That included a trip to the NCAA tournament in his third season. After starting the season 13-1 against less than top-notch com¬ petition, it appeared as if the Hogs would do just that. This record in¬ cluded a win against the Missouri Tigers on the road, and a close loss to then No. 1 ranked and eventual national runner-up Illinois in All¬ tel Arena. But when Southeastern Confer¬ ence play started, the wheels fell off the young Razorback ship, as the Hogs lost five-of-their-last-six games to finish league play at 6- 10 . These loses included defeats to Auburn on the road, who Arkan¬ sas had previously beaten by 25 at home, Vanderbilt and Tennes¬ see in the first round of the SEC tournament. Of their last six op¬ ponents, only Alabama (Arkansas lost 73-62) and Mississippi State (a 57-55 loss) made the NCAA tournament. ballhogS As a result of his team’s lacklus¬ ter play down the stretch, Heath declined a potential bid to the Na¬ tional Invitation Tournament. He said his team was “exhausted” both mentally and physically at the end of the season. Last season also saw the Hogs continue a trend that most UA fans would like to end: the Razorbacks inability to win on the road. Since Heath took the reigns following the 2001-02 season, the Razorbacks’ inability to win on the road had been a thorn in their side. Entering last season, Heath had won only two SEC games in his tenure at Arkansas. The Hogs could only muster one conference road win when they traveled to Oxford, Miss., on Feb 5. What resulted was a 66-65 victory against the Rebels in what became Heath’s, only conference sweep of his young tenure. Other¬ wise, the road wasn’t kind to the Pigs last season. The Razorbacks lost on the road to several beatable teams, includ¬ ing South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Auburn (who won only four conference games). All three of these teams failed to make the NCAA tournament. “We improved but we didn’t go to where we wanted to, and that’s the NCAA tournament,” fresh¬ man Samuel Munsey said. But all was not negative for the Razorback basketball program, and the team lifted their heads and spirits, looking forward to a new season and new opportunity. Citing the needs of his team, Heath recruited two perimeter players who could have an im¬ mediate impact for his hall club. Point guard Sean McCurdy signed with the Hogs in November, while three-point sharp-shooter Ryan McBride inked on the dotted line during spring signing period. Both players could feel the need for help at the point-guard and shooting guard positions respectively. Teamed with another signee, 6- 9 forward Cyrus McGowan, Heath hoped the incoming recruiting class would team with the now- experienced team he had return¬ ing to help his Razorbacks have a year of accomplished missions in the upcoming season. 166 Athletics Leaping into the air, junior athan Modica attempts to get a hand on the ball and keep it in bounds.

Photo by Davd Yerby 170 Athletics Great season start almost undone as Lady’Backs battle SEC giants and crippling injuries on the courts Josh Tinker The Lady Razorback basketball team might have felt a little like the hible’s King David last season. In the early going, the Lady’Backs were able to defeat many of the giant “Goliaths” of the women’s basketball world. On Dec. 21, they defeated the then No. 24 ranked Oregon Lady Ducks, in Arkansas’s final game of the non-conference season. This victory ended the successful non- conference season that saw the Lady Razorbacks defeat notable opponents Indiana, Memphis and Western Kentucky. They also played close to national heavyweight Purdue, before fall¬ ing 55-51. But there was one opponent that the Lady’Backs couldn’t stave off: the injury bug. “I know this season was a strug¬ gle because of injuries,” senior Allison Singleton said. “It didn’t turn our how we really wanted it to. Even thought we didn’t make it to the NCAA tournament, we exceeded expectations in the SEC tournament. We learned we had to rely on each other and play as a team in order to win.” Utilizing a pressing, trapping tenacious style of defense, the Lady’Backs led the nation in steals during the early stages. But inju¬ ries to key contributors plagued the Lady Razorbacks’ depth and offensive prowess. Injuries to Ruby Vaden and Kristen Moore left Ar¬ kansas without a solid-post pres¬ ence taller than six-foot. Vaden, 6-3, and Moore, 6-1, both tore an ACL early in the season, sidelin¬ ing them for the remainder of the year. Enter Sarah Pfeifer. The 6-0 Ozark native filled in admirably in the post. She led Arkansas with an average of 12.4 points per game. But, at 6-0 she was constantly asked to go up against the 6- and 6-5 trees of the Southeastern Con¬ ference. “I think Sarah Pfeifer did an excellent job playing this year,” Singleton said. “She played hurt, but she didn’t let that stop her.” But Arkansas couldn’t fend off their SEC opponents. After starting the season on a tear, the Lady’Backs opened the SEC sea¬ son 0-4. They didn’t notch their first leaue win until Jan. 16, when Arkansas knocked off Mississippi hoops State at home. From there, the Lady Razor- backs would win only two more games to finish the SEC season with a record of 3 -11. But the Lady Razorbacks didn’t let the negative momentum of a bad conference season ruin their postseason. They took advantage of the rule that allows all 12 SEC schools into the conference tour¬ nament by knocking off Mississip¬ pi State for the third time of the season, before falling to Vanderbilt in the second round. This late-season rally, coupled with the team’s early-season suc¬ cess led to an invitation into the Women’s National Invitational Tournament. Arkansas was able to defeat Nevada-Las Vegas in the opening round at home, before falling to in-state rival Arkansas State in Jonesboro in the second round. Now, the Lady’Backs hoped to build on the success of this late- season run and kill more giants next season. “We stuck together through all of our adversity and injuries,” ju¬ nior Rochelle Vaughn said, “which made us a better team for the fu¬ ture.” High Hoops 171 sea son stats Athletes in Action 57-62 Alabama State 74-49 Centenary 86-52 Purdue 51-55 Idaho State 69-59 Western Kentucky 83-79 Indiana 53-50 Wichita State 78-55 Memphis 59-53 La-Lafayette 82-68 Oregon 65-62 Georgia 57-78 Cincinnati 66-54 Florida 56-68 Mississippi 73-85 Tennessee 54-72 Mississippi State 83-71 LSU 45-91 South Carolina 61-49 UM-Kansas City 69-46 Mississippi 52-75 Auburn 51-62 Alabama 83-68 Georgia Tech 71-59 Vanderbilt 43-78 Tennessee 71-84 LSU 64-90 Kentucky 67-73 Mississippi State 80-73 Vanderbilt 60-79 UNLV 61-48 Arkansas State 84-98 Getting a hand on the ball, se¬ nior Adrienne Bush grimaces with determination as she manuevers around a UNLV op¬ ponent.

We did extremely well in each meet and showed the country how good we are, and that we are the fastest rising team in the nation.” Besides being a young team, one of the challenges facing the Gym’Backs was a daunting and rigorous schedule, in which every team they faced in the regular sea¬ son earned a trip to the NCAA Regionals. “We had an extremely difficult schedule, facing many of the top ten teams in the country,” Pea¬ cock said. Also, the gymnasts had to adapt to the changes brought on by the arrival of new assistant coach Rose McLaughlin. “Rose added a lot of things to our program that were just a little different from last year,” sopho¬ more Cassie Drew said. “She really helped to spice up our team.” Other setbacks included a team with no seniors to provide leader¬ ship and numerous injuries that sometimes restricted the players. Junior Audra Loveless suffered a broken foot in practice before the SEC meet, and junior Katie Hard¬ man had to limit her performances after sustaining a concussion. “We had several gymnasts, in¬ cluding myself, that were compet¬ ing most of the season injured, but worked through the pain to have a great season,” Drew said. The difficulties the Gym’Backs faced didn’t phase them for long however, and the team finished the season with their highest ranking in school history, at No. 15. The team also earned its second con¬ secutive trip to the NCAA Re¬ gional meet, and narrowly missed qualifying for nationals. “We were much more consis¬ tent this year, and only had to count a fall twice in the whole season,” junior Hannah McLeod said. “Qualifying to nationals went from being impossible to being a very realistic goal, and after giving up that opportunity this year, we are even more determined for next year.” Even though the Gym’Backs were eliminated at regionals and could not go to nationals as a team, they did send junior Dana McQuillin to compete as an indi¬ vidual for the all-around title. Mc¬ Quillin became the first Gym’Back to reach the national meet when she appeared in Auburn, Ala. Mc¬ Quillin finished the first session 25th overall. “We are so proud of Dana,” said co-head coach Rene Cook. “Even with the missed routine, she had a strong showing and learned a lot from the experience.” Encouraged by their growth and near miss at the NCAA regionals, the Gym’Backs were looking for¬ ward to a new year and were ex¬ cited about what the future held. “I think there is so much in store for next season,” Peacock said. “With new additions and knowledge and experience from this year’s team, the country bet¬ ter watch out. We are so moti¬ vated and so determined to make it to nationals and prove that we are the next team to be the one to beat.” Top Tumblers 175 Megan Garner Qualifying to nationals went from being impossible to being a very real possibilty.” Arms outstretched, junior perfoms on the bars during the Febru¬ ary 18 meet against Florida.

With a young team that fea¬ tured ten freshmen, two sopho¬ mores and one junior, the Razor- backs had a rough start, coming in tenth at the September 17-19 Notre Dame Invitational and dead last at the October 1-2 Tucker Invitational. However, things seemed to look up when the Hogs came in second in the October 24-26 University Club Intercollegiate with a school re¬ cord of 32-under, and started out the spring season placing fifth out of 21 teams in the Taylor Made Intercollegiate. Things continued to look good as the Razorbacks finished second among a nationally com¬ petitive field at the March 27-29 NIT Invitational. However, the Hogs stumbled again in April when they finished eighth in the SEC tournament. But the Razorbacks man¬ aged to pull it together when it counted and played an incredible final round of the NCAA Central Regionals, making an amazing comeback from 18th place to tie for sixth. The team shot 2-under- par 278, making the top ten cut to advance to the national tour¬ nament. The Razorbacks were the only team to shoot even par or better in the regional’s three rounds. “Being where it was and be¬ ing the magnitude of the tour¬ nament, this certainly, for my memory, is the best comeback we’ve had since I’ve been here,” hea d coach Mike Ketcham said. At the June 1-4 NCAA Championships, the five Razor- backs that were sent to represent the team fell in the third round of play. However, with such a young team and an up and down season, the Hogs still felt like winners. “I thought this was a huge step in where we are and where we’re going as a golf program,” Ket¬ cham said. “I can’t be more proud of five guys, and not only the five that played, but all 12 or 13 guys in the golf program and what they’ve accomplished at the end of the year.” “This was a huge step in where we are and where we’re going as a golf program. 178 Athletics Junior Josh Farrell prepares for a putt.

As a team, the Lady’Backs had a successful season, although they couldn’t seem to bring home a first place finish. However, they did bring home several second and third place finishes and placed in the top ten in all hut two of their match ups. Individually, the team had sev¬ eral stars, such as redshirt Stacy Lewis, who tied the school record in the first event of the year with a three round 216. It was just the beginning of Lewis’s impressive season in which she brought home numerous honors. Lewis was the first Lady’Back to record three in¬ dividual titles in a single season and became the first Lady’Back golfer to earn the National Golf Coaches Association’s All-Ameri¬ can honors. “To be a first teammer as a fresh¬ man is amazing,” head coach Kel¬ ley Hester said. “It’s a huge honor to be voted in the top 11 or 12 in the country at the end of the year.” Another player that made an im¬ pression on the season was junior Amanda McCurdy, whose runner- up finish at the 2004 U.S. Amateur earned her an exemption to the U.S. Women’s Open, the biggest tournament in women’s golf. It was players like McCurdy and Lewis that earned the Lady’Backs a trip to the NCAA Champion¬ ship. The team played well with a 301 in the final round, but solid scores from top teams edged the Lady’Backs out of the lead. “I was disappointed with how we finished,” Hester said. “I’m so proud though of what we’ve ac¬ complished all season and all week. We’re walking out of here with our heads held up and proud of ourselves.” With that pride, the Lady’Backs look ahead with excitement and anticipation. “Typically at the end of the year, you’re ready for a break,” said Hes¬ ter. “But right now, all I can think about is next year and how excited I am for our future.” CD O Q) D o OJ 3 a Junior Amanda McCurdy keeps her head in the game and her eyes on the ball dur¬ ing the Lady’Back Invitational.

With the addition of talented international recruits like Audrey Boreleau and Mayori Franco and a string of pre-season sweeps and victories, the Lady’Backs seemed to be unstoppable. The success just kept coming when season play began, with the Lady’Backs racking up a 10-0 winning streak. But all that came to a halt at the first SEC matchup. In a match that was closer than its 1-6 score indicated, the Lady’Backs went down to South Carolina, and the loss signaled the start of a series of obstacles that would plague the team for remainder of the season. Inexperience became a bigger factor than it was in pre-season, as a team with four freshmen and one senior began facing nation¬ ally ranked opponents. Another element that crippled the team was injuries, the most notable of which was the loss of freshman leader Yawna Allen, who tore her ACL in the March 25 match against Vanderbilt. But the Lady’Backs continued to put up a fight and were much closer to beating some of the nation’s toughest teams than the records indicated. “Even though we lost a lot of SEC games, we were really close to beating a lot of them, just a little bit unlucky,” junior Karina Kedaja said. Throughout the losses, the Lady’Backs continued to play hard and managed to pull out one SEC victory against Auburn. “We still worked hard the whole time and by the end of the season that worked payed off by beating Auburn,” junior Vlatka Jovanovic said. And the hard work would pay off next season as well, as the more experienced team would set out to set the records straight. “I’m really looking forward to the next season,” Ledaja said. “1 know...we are going have a very strong team. People will hear a lot about the Lady’Back tennis team.” Taking five, head coach Mi¬ chael Hegarty and freshman Maryori Franco share a brief pep talk before Franco returns to the courts.

After 2004’s successful season in which the team won nine of their 26 matchups and made it as far as the sweet 16 in the NCAA tourna¬ ment, fans were ready for more. And at first, things seemed to be going well, with the Hogs bring¬ ing home sound victories over their first two opponents. But an inexperienced team and one of the toughest schedules they had ever faced soon overwhelmed the team, and they struggled to regain their lost momentum. “We started off pretty well,” ju¬ nior Rohan Gajjar said. “I think after the loss to Oklahoma we could never really recover. In the SEC, the bottom line-up has to he pretty solid, but I think due to their inexperience, they fell apart. We had a lot of close matches in the SEC...and that’s when we need the bottom of the line-up to win matches.” The fact that six of the ten team members only had one year or less of experience with college-level tennis didn’t help either. “We had quite a few newcomers and they really didn’t know what to expect and how tough the SEC is,” Gajjar said. “Inexperience compared to last year was probably the biggest difference.” But even the experienced team members were feeling the heat from the daunting schedule they faced. “We had one of the tough¬ est schedules,” Gajjar said. “We played 19 ranked opponents out of 20 and 13 matches on the road.” But even though the losses outnumbered the wins, the Ra- zorbacks continued to play their hardest, and the team never gave up hope. “I am really proud of the guys for sticking it out ‘til the end and never giving up on the season and on each other. We won as a team and lost as a team.” With this season’s trials be¬ hind them, the Hogs were already hopeful about next season and the chance to reclaim success. “Next season is going to be re¬ ally different,” Gajjar said. “It’s go¬ ing to be a really exciting year.” Rough Rally 185 Megan Garner Ready to swing, junior entry steps up to bat against the LSU Tigers.

While Baum Stadium was packed with eager fans, the support was not enough for the Hogs who were shut out during the weekend series against the Tigers. Photo by Vance Green “Incredible shrinking team finds way back to post-season play despite losses on the field and in the line-up Megan Garner From the way things were going at the beginning of the Razorback baseball season, it seemed like a promising start to a successful year. The Hogs began with a solid victory against Dallas Babtist, who won 44 games last season. The team then moved on to sweep Minnesota and Illinois-Chicago, defeat Big 12 school Oklahoma State and sweep Eastern Illinois, shutting them out in the final game of the series. In their first SEC match-up, it seemed as if South Carolina might pose a threat when they beat the Razorbacks 12-3 in the second game of the series. However, the Hogs rebounded to win game three and take the series. They then continued their winning streak in a sweep against Centenary. But suddenly the news broke of the suspension of senior team leaders Casey Rowlett and Scott Bridges. Rowlett and Bridges were the team’s top two hitters and bas- estealers. Another serious loss for the team came almost simultane¬ ously when senior pitcher Trey Holloway suffered a stress fracture in his arm. The Hogs tried not to let the losses distract them as they went to face Auburn with right fielder Craig Gentry replac¬ ing Rowlett at center and junior John Henry Marquardt replacing Bridges at second. “We have to take everything that’s happened and turn it into a positive,” senior shortsop Scott Hode said before the match-up. But the Razorbacks succumbed to the Tigers, and the loss marked a downward slide for the Hogs. After the team went down to Au¬ burn, they did win consecutive victories against Northern Colo¬ rado and Vanderbilt, hut the rest of the season’s successes were few and far between. One element contributing to the Diamondbacks’ decline were the numerous losses of valuable play¬ ers. At one point head coach Dave Van Horn called the Razorbacks “The Incredible Shrinking Team.” Besides Rowlett, Bridges and Hol¬ loway, the Hogs lost Marquardt, who was filling in for Bridges until he underwent athroscopic surgery on his right knee, and freshman infielder Ben Tschepikow, who was spiked in the neck while slid¬ ing into second base during the May 1 game against Kentucky. While the Hogs were reel¬ ing from the loss of their players, losses on the field began piling up as well. After losing to Ten¬ nessee, LSU and Kentucky, the Razorbacks managed to pull out two series victories against tough competitors Florida and Alabama. However, the regular season end¬ ed on a sour note when Ole Miss swept the Hogs at home, followed by an 0-2 loss in the SEC tourna¬ ment. Despite these losses, the Razor- backs were chosen to be among the 64 teams invited to the NCAA Regional Tournament, making it their fourth consecutive season to go. After an impressive eight in¬ nings thrown by junior Charley Boyce, the Hogs emerged victori¬ ous over Miami Ohio with a score of 9-5. The Razorbacks moved on to tackle the Texas Longhorns with a score of 9-2. However, the cel¬ ebration did not last, as the ‘Horns came back to defeat the Hogs 19-8. In the final game, the Hogs played hard but went down, 5-2. Despite a challenging season, both physically and emotionally, the final record of 39-22 looked pretty good to the team, and with an incoming signing class ranked 14th in the nation by Student- sports.rivals.com, the Hogs readied themselves for yet another year.

It was their first year with new head coach Jamie Pinkerton and their first year under a whole new system and philosophy of playing. With the new staff and style to adjust to, the Lady’Backs may not have won many games, hut they did a lot of rebuilding and worked towards making the Lady’Back softball program one of the best in the region. “It was a tough season because it seemed like so many games were just within our reach, and then we couldn’t quite figure out how to fin- ish them,” junior outfielder Mindy O’Malley said. “Having a new coaching staff definitely changed this season from other seasons be¬ cause we all had to adjust to each other and get a feel for what was expecteed of us.” The new coaching staff in¬ cluded head coach and Arkansas native Jamie Pinkerton. Pinkerton joined the Lady’Backs from Tulsa, where he was the only coach in school history to post an over¬ all winning record. Other new staff members included assistant coaches Tiffany Redding-Pitts and Aly Sartini. These new additions brought with them new expecta¬ tions and new demands on the team. “[They] had a whole new phi¬ losophy including discipline and hard work,” sophomore infielder Sarah Topham said. “It has not al¬ ways been like that.” The new staff and new phi¬ losophy worked to heighten the competitive level at which the Lady’Backs played. “The season was a learning experience for me,” freshman Day- na Huckabee said. “Being a fresh¬ man from Arkansas, I was never exposed to a level of competition anywere close to what I faced this year. I learned so much. We had a Megan Garner rocky season, but we got better. Of course we all wanted to win many more games, but with new coaches and a new system, it takes time.” And while the Lady’Backs worked diligently to master the lessons their new coaches taught, it was often difficult for them to get all the aspects of their team working together at the same time, leading to several games in which the team played well in two or three areas, hut lost the game nonetheless. “One of the things that didn’t go so well for us was that we never could seem to get all three facets of the game working together,” freshman pitcher Katy Henry said. “When we were hitting well, our defense and pitching wouldn’t be as strong. We never could seem to make everything work together.” However, when the Lady’Backs finally were able to get their three components together, they be¬ came a force to he reckoned with. The Lady’Backs stepped up their game and swept Kentucky during the April 23-24 series, in the first SEC sweep the Lady’Backs had seen since 2002. “We were excited about that and hope to have a few more un¬ der our belts by the end of the next season,” Henry said. And if their performance against Kentucky is any indication of what’s to come next year, the Lady’Backs should have no prob¬ lem reaching that goal. With the new coaching staff and valuable experience gained this year, next season is looking promising for the determined team. “I see us improving a lot and giving a good fight and hopefully making our way into the SEC tournament,” Huckabee said. “I see that as a very realistic goal for us next year. Now we just have to work hard and perform.” Sliding towards success, ju¬ nior outfielder crosses home for a score against Oklahoma City.

Rebuilding Run % 193 making tracks Razorbacks pass the competition and set new records in another successful season Q) C u ro O c 03 ui O) It was a year of pouring sweat, shattered records and sweet victo¬ ries for the men of the Razorback track and field team. The Razor- backs flew by the competition and brought home their 41st national championship, as well as their 21st outdoor conference crown and 76th league title over¬ all since 1974, including cross country and indoor and outdoor track. “We had a lot to prove this in¬ door season because we had a bit¬ ter taste in our mouths after last year’s indoor season,” senior high jumper Cory Oldham said. “We got second at conference and at nationals. These two meets were really on our minds and we wanted to regain our titles.” The team not only reclaimed those two titles but earned sev¬ eral others as well throughout the indoor and outdoor season, despite any obstacles that stood in their way. “It seemed like our team has been faced with adversities, such as injuries to several of our key runners, hut it always seemed like guys in other areas stepped it up and pulled the slack,” freshman Kent Austell said. Among those guys that stepped it up and led the team to victory was junior Tyson Gay, who along with sophomore Wal¬ lace Spearmon Jr. dominated the 100- and 200-meter dash at the NCAA Outdoor Champion¬ ships. Spearmon previously set the American 200-meter record at the NCAA Indoor Champion¬ ships with a time of 20.10. Spear- mon later broke his own record at the NCAA Outdoor Champion¬ ships in Sacramento, Calif, when he clocked a time of 19.91, mak¬ ing him the seventh fastest col¬ legiate on the all-time list. Both Gay and Spearmon decided to go professional after the season. And with the attention Gay and Spearmon brought, recruits from across the nation are com¬ ing to UA, and fans can count on next season to be just as exciting as the last. “I am hoping for big things this next season,” sophomore Ty¬ ler Hill said. “What exactly that is, I don’t know, but I am looking forward to it.” Sliding through the sand, a member of the men ' s track team competes in the long jump at the John McDonnell Invitational.

All of the girls worked extremely hard in practice and it paid off.” The Lady’Backs began show¬ ing off their hard work right away, with seniors Kasia Wil¬ liams and Aneita Denton setting new school records at the Janu¬ ary 21-22 Razorback Invitational. The Lady’Backs continued to set new school or national records in all hut five of the following 15 meets. “Everyone worked real hard and got really excited to compete, and there was lots of energy going into the big meets,” senior Laura Jakosky said. “Our freshmen have also done a really good job of stepping up and competing hard against seasoned veterans.” Among those seasoned veter¬ ans was senior Aneita Denton, who was named SEC Women’s Runner of the Year. Denton was the third woman in NCAA his¬ tory to sweep the 800-meter runs at both the indoor and outdoor championships. Denton was also the first Lady’Back to win an in¬ dividual running event at the NCAA Mideast Regionals. And with talent like that, the Lady’Backs are preparing for great things from next season’s team. “I truly believe that we are go¬ ing to be the team to beat next year,” Anderson said. “The coach¬ es have done an amazing job re¬ cruiting this season. Some of the best athletes in the country will be making their way to Fayette¬ ville...the talent will definitely be here, and I know that our coaches are going to have everyone ready to perform big when the time comes.” Track 195 Megan Garner “ We are going to be the team to beat next year ... our coaches are going to have everyone ready to perform big when the time comes. ” A Lady’Back runner stays ahead of the competition at the April 23 John McDonnell Invitational at John McDonnell field.

The duties of the spirit groups included more commitment than gameday alone, as members were re¬ quired to be at many rallys and other UA events. 198 Athletics UA spirit groups bring school pride and tradi¬ tion to community, fans and students alike Megan Garner As fans began making their way towards Razorback Stadium, the sights and sounds of game day filled the air. The smell of football food drifted through the stands as the fans decked out in red and white drifted to their seats. As they got their game faces on and anxious¬ ly awaited the start of the game, their excitement peaked as every¬ one rose from their seats to join in a Hog Call, lead by the men and women of the UA spirit groups. The UA spirit groups worked to bring Razor- back spirit and excite ment to Arkansas sport ing events. The team members cheered, flipped, shouted and tumbled their way across foot¬ ball fields, baseball diamonds and basketball courts to rally team sup¬ port. “[They bring] spirit, tradition and a love for the game,” Men’s Spirit Advisor and Coordinator Jean Nail said about what spirit groups bring to games. “I don’t have anyone on any team that doesn’t love the game. There’s nothing like hearing the entire crowd call the Hogs.” There were several different spirit squads that tried to cover as many athletic events as pos¬ sible. They included the Cheer Red squad, which was comprised of upperclassmen and performed at all football games, home bas¬ ketball games and pep rallys, as well as any SEC tournaments, and the Cheer White squad, which included underclassmen and per¬ formed at home and Little Rock football games, and select basket¬ ball games. There were also the two pom squ ads, Pom Red and Pom White. Pom Red was made up of upper¬ classmen and performed at all home and Little Rock football games as well as all home basket¬ ball games. The Pom White squad included underclassmen and per¬ formed at all home football games, and also performed as the RBI girls at baseball games. There was also a cheer squad that performed at all women’s athletic events. But being a member of a spirit team was not all fun and flips. In order to be on a team, students first had to go through a round of tryouts by videotape. Then, if se¬ lected, they moved on to another round of tryouts, this time in per¬ son. And the work did not end raisingSpintS once students were selected. The teams usually practiced Monday through Thursday, for two to two- and-a-half-hours. Members also had to be willing to have a flex¬ ible schedule, since practice times often depended on when the ath¬ letes were done practicing and had cleared the courts or field. Mem¬ bers were also often required to travel to away games to continue rallying team support. But there was more to being a cheerleader or RBI girl than just cheering at games and lead¬ ing the Hog Call. The teams also performed at pep rallys, numerous alumni events and were very ac¬ tive in community service proj¬ ects. The teams traveled to nurs¬ ing homes, elementary schools and hospitals to perform or speak to community members. They took pictures with nursing home members and spoke to elementary school students about leadership. “Community outreach is real important to us,” Nail said. It’s an¬ other part of spreading the Razor- back spirit. Because everyone is a Razorback.” And as the games ended and the stands emptied, whether the Hogs won or lost, the men and women of the spirit teams kept reminding us of our Razorback spirit and nev- erending pride.

The Aikido team was one of eight active sports clubs that offered students the opportunity to compete in sports that were not fully school-sponsored teams. Photo by Vance Green 202 Athletics Sports clubs provide UA students opportunity to compete in sports not permanently spon¬ sored by University Megan Garner The UA was home to a wide va- riety of school-sponsored athletic teams. Students could compete in everything from pole vaulting to volleyball to swimming and diving. But there were still some people that felt they had been left out, that their sport had been overlooked. For people like these, the HPER sponsored and orga¬ nized UA sports clubs. Sports clubs offered students the chance to compete in the sports they loved that for one reason or another weren’t per¬ manent school-sponsored teams. Currently there are eight active sports clubs, including Aikido, men and women’s rugby, and men and women’s ultimate frisbee. Other clubs have included men’s lacrosse and water-skiiing. If there was not a sports club for everyone, the situation was easily remedied, since sports clubs could be started by anyone. Clubs were open to any students who were en¬ rolled in a minimum of three cred¬ it hours, and facutly and staff were also eligible to join. While some clubs had very few requirements beyond those, others required ad¬ ditional things such as dues and training. “Members that wished to par¬ ticipate in tournaments and the travel that accompanied it must pay dues and watch relevant safety videos provided by the HPER,” 2005 graduate and former presi¬ dent of the Ultimate Frisbee Team Ryan Von Rembow said. Clubs could be led by student team captains or members could choose whether or not to have a team coach. Many coaches were faculty or staff members, such as the Aikido club’s coach and men¬ tor, Edward Mink, who also taught an 8-week Aikido class. “Our coach was Jody Ayers,” Von Rembow said. “He was a UA graduate that used to play for the team. He now works for Wal-Mart and made the commute from Ben- tonville to pass on his wisdom to new and returning players.” Members of sports clubs gener¬ ally met a couple times a week to practice and hone their skills and often traveled to away games and tournaments to compete. action “The High Tide Tournament in Savannah, GA that our team participated in over spring break was a lot of fun,” Von Rembow said. “Waking up in the morning and playing Ultimate until noon and then finishing the day at the ocean was a blast. This tourna¬ ment gave our players a chance to get to know each other better and bond in ways normal practice and tournaments might not.” Other clubs brought the learn¬ ing experiences to them, such as the Aikido team, who organized a weekend seminar for its members. “We had Sensei Tanaka come out from his Dojo in Denver where he trained us for a weekend semi¬ nar,” junior computer engineering major Cameron Byers said. “It was fantastic to have one of the high¬ est ranked Aikido masters in the world come out to Fayetteville and actually interact with us.” Whether it was rugby, soccer or softball, UA sports clubs al¬ lowed students to have some fun and contend in a competitive but friendly environment. “The UA Ultimate Frisbee team, Ludicrous Speed, is always looking for new players to join the club,” Von Rembow said. “No mat¬ ter what the skill level, Ultimate is a fast-paced, fun game where everyone gets to be the ‘quarter¬ back.’” Club Action 203 heroes Megan Garner Brandon Burlsworth One of the most beloved Razorbacks of all time, Brandon Burlsworth came to Arkansas as a walk-on and completed his career as a first-team All-American. He was named a Football News first-team All-American offensive guard and an AP second-team selection following the 1998 season. The first Razorback football player to earn his master’s degree before exhaust¬ ing his eligibility, he is one of three Razor- backs to have their number retired, joining Clyde Scott and Steve Little. Following his standout collegiate career, he was drafted in the third round by the Indianapolis Colts. Weeks before reporting to training camp, he was tragically killed in an automobile accident near his home in Harrison, Ark. A permanent memorial in his honor has been established in the Razorbacks’ foot¬ ball locker room. His legacy continues to be celebrated through the Brandon Burls¬ worth Foundation, an organization dedi¬ cated to assisting children. Jerry Carlton The second Razorback to crack the 1,000-point barrier, he still stands 25th on UA’s all-time list with 1,042 points in three seasons. He averaged 10.8 points as a sopho¬ more, 15.0 as a junior and a team¬ leading 18.2 as a senior in 1962. He led the team in field goal percent¬ age in 1960 (.433). He ranks 13th on the career free throws made list (300) and fourth with a career free throw percentage of 84.3, including a team-best percentage of 86.3 in 1961. A first-team All-Southwest Conference selection in 1962, he also made the National Association of Basketball Coaches first-team all- district squad that same year. His teams went 12-11, 16-7 and 14-10, in his sophomore, junior and senior seasons, respectively. Peter Doohan The first four-time All-American in Ar¬ kansas tennis history, he teamed with Pat Serret to win the NCAA doubles champi¬ onship in 1982. The duo remains as one of only two UA doubles teams to hold the na¬ tion’s top ranking. Doohan and Serret also finished as the national doubles runner-up in 1981. An All-American in 1980, 1981, ’82 and ’83, Doohan ranks first on UA’s career doubles winning percentage chart (.780) and third on the career doubles vic¬ tories list (96). His single-season doubles winning percentage of .857 in 1980 (30- 5) and .840 (21-4) in ‘81 rank as the third and fifth best season marks, respectively, in school history. Doohan won Southwest Conference titles at No. 2 singles (1981) and No. 3 singles (1982). He also collected a pair of No. 1 doubles conference crowns in 1980 and ’83. In his four years at Arkan¬ sas, the Razorbacks recorded a dual match record of 105-25 and made four consecu¬ tive trips to the NCAA Tournament. 204 Athletics The UA Sports Hall of Honor was established in 1988 to honor all-time outstanding athletes and coaches. Nine former UA student athletes, including five All-Americans, three all-conference selections and the owner of one of the most storied franchises in pro¬ fessional sports, make up the 2004 class of inductees into the Hall of Honor. This year’s class combined to win 20 All-American distinctions, 36 all-conference accolades and played a part in 13 individual or team national championships. This year’s honorees were elected by a vote of former letter winners in conjunction with the “A” club, and were inducted September 3 at the Northwest Arkansas Convention Center in Springdale. Harry Jones A three-year wingback for Frank Bro- yles’ Razorbacks, Harry Jones won Alb Southwest Conference honors in 1965 and played on Arkansas’ 1964 national championship football team. During his tenure, the Hogs won back-to-back South¬ west Conference titles in 1964 and 1965 before finishing second in the league in 1966. Nicknamed “Light Horse” Harry for his breakaway speed, he specialized in long runs including an 83-yard rushing touchdown against North Texas in 1965. He rushed for 632 yards and seven touch¬ downs on 82 carries as a junior in 1965. In his senior season, he racked up 342 yards and five scores on 84 attempts. As a safety in 1964, he returned two interceptions for touchdowns. In 1965, the Enid, Okla., na¬ tive became the first Razorback to be fea¬ tured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles, Jones was one of two Hogs to go in the first round of the 1967 NFL draft. He played for the Eagles from 1967-71. Wayne Martin One of the most dominating defensive linemen in UA history, Wayne Martin hauled in first-team All-America honors from the Associated Press, the Football Writers Association of America and The Sporting News in 1988. Martin led the squad in tackles for loss for three con¬ secutive seasons and he still stands tied for third on the UA career list with 37. He also owns the school record for sacks in a game (five) against Ole Miss and the record for sacks in a career with 25.5. In 1988, he garnered All-Southwest Confer¬ ence honors after making 68 stops includ¬ ing 18 tackles for loss (-110) in leading the Razorbacks to the SWC title. He was named to the UA All-Century Team after finishing his Razorback career with 152 tackles, 37 tackles for loss (-189) and 14 pass deflections. He was a first-round draft choice of the New Orleans Saints in 1989. He played 10 seasons in the NFL before re¬ tiring in 1999. He is also a member of the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame. Jerry Jones A co-captain of Arkansas’ 1964 national championship football team, Jerry Jones played guard and fullback for the Razorbacks. He was a three- year football letterman (1962-64) and played on teams that compiled a total of 25 wins in a three-year span. In his senior season, the Razorbacks went 11-0, including a 10-7 win over Ne¬ braska in the Cotton Bowl, to capture the national championship awarded by The Football Writers Association of America and the Helms Athletic Foundation. Jones has continued his tradition of excellence as the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. Jones has helped guide the Cowboys to three Super Bowl titles. His substantial contributions to Razorback athletics include a gift that enabled the construction of the UA football museum in the Broyles Center that bears his name along with fellow UA teammate Jim Lindsey. Lee Mayberry The school’s third all-time leading scor¬ er (1,940 points), he earned All-America basketball honors as a point guard in 1992. He was a three-time first all-conference se¬ lection earning All-Southeastern Confer¬ ence recognition in ‘92 and All-Southwest Conference accolades in 1990 and ‘91. He led the team in scoring in ‘92 (15.2 ppg) to help lead the Razorbacks to a conference crown in their first year as a league member. Mayberry is the school’s all-time leader in steals (291), ranks second in assists (729), third in three-point percentage (.424), and fourth in field goals made (723) and three- pointers made (218). During his tenure, the Razorbacks won three straight SWC tournament titles and made four NCAA Tournament berths, including a trip to the Final Four in 1990 and the Elite Eight in 1991. The Tulsa, Okla., product averaged 12.9 points as a freshman, 14.5 as a sopho¬ more, 13.2 as a junior and 15.2 as a senior. He was a first-round NBA Draft pick of the Milwaukee Bucks. Seneca Lassiter A standout middle distance runner for the Hogs through 1995-99, Seneca Lassiter was a part of nine national championship teams, including the 1998-99 squad that captured Arkansas’ unprecedented fifth NCAA triple crown. During his career he earned 13 All-America honors, includ¬ ing two NCAA 1,500-meter titles. He is the only Razorback in Arkansas’ legendary track history to capture multiple 15,00-me¬ ter crowns. He was also able to claim the United States 1,500-meter championship in 1997 and 2001 and went on to represent Team USA at the World Championships. Lassiter still holds the school record in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 3:33.27. In addition to his success on a national level, Lassiter was an 11-time Southeastern Con¬ ference Champion, earning five (2 - 800 meters, 3 - distance medley relay) during the indoor season and six (3 - 800 meters, 3 - 1,500 meters) at the conference outdoor championships. Tracy Webb Rice The first great point guard in Lady Razorback basketball history, Tracy Webb parlayed her outstand¬ ing ability and leadership into championships. She captained the Lady Razorbacks to the 1987 Na¬ tional Women’s Invitation Tourna¬ ment Championship after leading Arkansas to its first NCAA Tourna¬ ment bid in 1986. The MVP of the NW1T, Webb finished her career as the all-time leader in assists and steals. She remains the career lead¬ er in steals with 293 and is fourth all-time in assists at 444. A first- team All-Southwest Conference pick as a senior, Webb was also All- SWC tournament in 1987, and was once selected as SWC player of the week. She also still holds the re¬ cord for steals in a season with 93. Hog Heroes 205 Megan Garner graciousservant Barbara Broyles, renowned wife, mother, advo¬ cate and volunteer leaves lasting impressions On Wednesday, October 13, Fayetteville, the UA and the peo¬ ple of Arkansas lost a “tireless ser¬ vant,” when Barbara Broyles, who devoted more than four decades of service to Fayetteville and the UA, died from complications related to Alzheimer’s disease. Broyles, 79, wife of UA Ath¬ letic Director Frank Broyles for 59 years, was also a mother of six, an advocate, an active volunteer in the community and an inspir¬ ing model for other coaches’ wives. “As an ambassador for the Razorbacks, she gave us class, as she was always elegant, poised, charming and gracious,” execu¬ tive athletic director Bill Gray said. A passionate advocate for literacy, Broyles helped start the Ozark Literacy Council, who honored her more than 40 years of work in promoting literacy with the creation of the Barbara Broyles Endowment Fund last June. Broyles was also a founding board member of Arkansas Lit¬ eracy Councils Inc., and served on the Governor’s Commission on Adult Literacy. Also, in 2001, Barbara and Frank Broyles donat¬ ed $200,000 to the UA libraries. “She certainly did more to promote literacy in Northwest Arkansas than any other person, in my opinion,” literacy council executive director Jim Allen said. Broyles was also active in many other organizations, in¬ cluding the Altrusa club, the American Cancer Society, the Fayetteville Division of Parks and Recreation, the Fayetteville Youth Center and Friends of Flospice. In 1988, Broyles was named Volunteer of the Year by the city of Fayetteville, and in 1991 was named Chapter Advisor of the Year at UA for her work as chapter advisor for the Phi Mu sorority. “With strength and gracious- ness, Barbara cared for her hus¬ band and her children, advised generations of young women on campus, supported the literacy needs of our community and gave untiringly to important causes throughout the country,” profes¬ sor and former chancellor Dr. Dan Ferritor said. As a leader, activist, role model and volunteer, Broyles left an impression, and her loss ” ,oc felt by the entire community. “For 46 years, she has been the First Lady of Arkansas Razorback sports,” UA board of trustees member Jim Lind¬ sey said. “She is beloved by Razorbacks every¬ where. She will be missed.” 206 Athletics —rr dynamicdad Houston Nutt Sr. personifies exemplary dad through support, encouragement and selfless acts of kindness At 2:38 p.m. Wednesday, April 20, Arkansas’ most famous coach ' ing family lost a “truly special hus¬ band, father, grandfather, brother, coach, teacher and friend.” Houston Nutt Sr. died at Baptist Health Medical Center in Little Rock from complications resulting from a stroke he had the previous Monday. He was 74. Nutt Sr., who was himself an ac¬ complished coach and teacher at the Arkansas School for the Deaf, became known as the father of four sons who all became NCAA Division I coaches. His sons were Razorback Head Coach Houston Nutt, running backs coach Danny Nutt, Arkansas State head basket¬ ball Coach Dickey Nutt and Texas State head basketball Coach Den¬ nis Nutt. “I planned to have five boys,” Nutt Sr. said in a 1999 interview with the Arkansas D e m o - crat-Ga- zette. “But when I said ‘one-two- three- four, ' I got to think¬ ing. If I have five, 1 might keep go¬ ing, be¬ cause you remember you have five basketball players [on a team] but you have to have substitutes. So I decided I better quit right there.” After graduating from Oklaho¬ ma A M, Nutt Sr., who was born with a hearing deficiency, began his teaching and coaching career at the Arkansas School for the Deaf in 1956. Over three decades later, after winning over 500 bas¬ ketball games and teaching several classes, Nutt Sr. retired in 1987. “When I stepped aside as a coach, it was a great feeling to know you’ve got one boy coach¬ ing, and another one, and another one, and another one, and they all turn out to be coaches,” Nutt Sr. said in the 1999 interview. Nutt Sr. was inducted into the Arkansas High School Hall of Fame and the Deaf Hall of Fame. Nutt Sr. was also inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. Nutt Sr.’s love of sports, chil¬ dren and coaching influenced his entire family, and continued to im¬ pact students even after his death through the work of his sons. “It’s just that I really love to go out on a field and watch kids play, and not even just when they’re my kids,” Nutt Sr. told the Democrat- Gazette when asked what it took to be a good coach. “1 just want to see that they’re enjoying it. I always thought sports was the best thing you can have in life.” Barbara Broyles Houston Nutt Sr. 207 Megan Garner Registered Student Organizations gave us the opportunity to meet new people who shared common interests amidst a vastly diverse student body.

From the Olsens, to Jenna and Barbara Bush, to stars such as Julia Roberts having a set of her own, it was no wonder that the UA had an organization de- voted solely to this unique group of human beings. Founded in the fall of 2003, Arkansas Twins had roughly 70 active members and even includ¬ ed people from the community. Membership was open to anyone; all multiples and even the family and friends of multiples. President Erin Riley, although she was not a twin, was the daughter of a twin, as well as a sister and cousin of two sets of twins. Even students who were merely interested in the phenomenon were invited to join the group. And phenomenon it was. Twins were definitely a rare breed; how¬ ever, they were becoming less un¬ common with time, another in¬ teresting factor in itself. In 2004, about one of every 35 births in the United States was twins, one of the highest rates worldwide. That figure had more than doubled since the early 1970s, when twins were even more uncommon. Even more significant was the number of triplet and higher multiple births, which had increased 200 percent over the past three decades. The Arkansas Twins formed out of founder Hunter Riley ' s desire to start an original Registered Stu¬ dent Organization, and the origi¬ nality behind this group of people was undeniable. “When I started the club, I found out that people I already knew were twins, and I had no idea,” Riley said. Because his twin attended school in Savannah, Ronda Lewallen ♦ Emily Milholen Ga., Riley found that socializing with other multiples gave him a sense of support in the absence of his brother. The bonds shared between the members of this group were unique in that members were able to re¬ late to one another’s situations and help each other through mo¬ ments unique to them alone. Even though the Arkansas Twins was only in its second year as an RSO, the group was quickly gaining recognition at the UA. The first major event the group had was a “Storytelling Party,” where twins told funny stories about growing up as a twin. The event also featured a live musi¬ cian. In addition, the group sched¬ uled a presentation about the so¬ cial aspects of being a twin, both as a child and as a college student. At this event, audience members were given the opportunity to ask questions of the twins. Aside from on-campus activi¬ ties, the Arkansas Twins worked closely with the Northwest Ar¬ kansas Mothers of Multiples Club. These parents had many questions and concerns about their chil¬ dren ' s rare condition. They want¬ ed to gain a better understanding about twins and other multiples, so these students stepped in and shared their own personal experi¬ ences, hoping to provide insight into what to expect while raising their twins. Members also extend¬ ed their service beyond reaching out to other twins by spending an afternoon cleaning Wilson Park during the spring semester. Whether they were twins or not, students were intrigued by this growing RSO. ' avis and , twin brothers at the UA and mem¬ bers of the Arkansas Twins, pose as they head to a Hal¬ loween party. In only its sec¬ ond year as a Registered Stu¬ dent Organization, the group already had around 70 active members.

The UA chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters worked with youth, ages five to 18, to de¬ velop friendships and make lasting impressions on their lives. This Registered Student Orga¬ nization helped at-risk children in the North¬ west Ar¬ kansas area reach their full po¬ tential by matching them with student and faculty mentors. The UA chapter included about 120 members and received Most Improved RSO of the Year in 2003. It had been ac¬ tive on campus for five years. Recruiting projects for BBBS were held every fall and spring to inform prospective big brothers and sisters of the club’s rewarding benefits. “I joined Big Brothers Big Sis¬ ters because 1 saw the need for role models for children,” president Da¬ vid Orr said. Orr believed BBBS was differ¬ ent from other UA RSOs because it directly affected the youth in the Northwest Arkansas community, as well as the mentors involved. “Anytime you affect a child’s life, that is important. It makes a positive difference,” Orr said. Members organized one event each month with their “littles” to provide personal attention. Each semester, BBBS also organized a group event for “waiting littles,” children who had not yet been matched with a mentor. For Make a Difference Day, BBBS took a group of “waiting lit¬ tles” to watch the Razorback bas¬ ketball team practice and to tour Bud Walton Arena. Every spring, student and adult mentors from the campus chapter of BBBS invited all local “littles” and “waiting littles” to a Razorback baseball game. They also toured Baum Stadium and spent the after¬ noon visiting with the Razorback baseball team. Through group outings and per¬ sonal attention, BBBS positively influenced at-risk children and helped them overcome the chal¬ lenges they faced. By doing so, members brightened the lives of those they touched.

Since 1959, Chi Alpha had provided a place for Christian students at the UA to join togeth- er and worship God in a peaceful, exciting setting. This Registered Student Organization was a nonde- nominational group that welcomed all who wished to come. Ronnie Hoover, a campus mis¬ sionary for XA, said that the rea¬ son people came to XA activities was to form relationships. Students with similar beliefs became friends through XA. Ultimately, Hoover believed that when one student formed a relationship with God, that bond was shared between members of the group, then passed to those throughout the campus and the community. every tribe, tongue, language group and people group would all join to¬ gether to give praises to God. XA members asked, “Why do we have to wait? Why can’t we do it now?” This open-minded viewpoint en¬ abled XA to unite students from all over the world as one body. At the UA, the most recent project XA faced was the construc¬ tion of a new house. Although the group already had a ministry house on Leverett, a new one was rapidly underway. The development was a $750,000 project with two-stories and 14 rooms. The home was open to persons of all religious beliefs and was scheduled to be open by the fall of 2005. The UA chapter was one of the oldest in the nation, forming only six short years after the first. The national website stated that the all-time goal of XA was for people divineliving meet XA members formed “cell groups” and volunteered anytime the need arose. Students believed that volunteering meant a lifestyle of servanthood. “Jesus said let your light so shine before man that they may see your good works,” Hoover said. This was the motivation for XA members. Each student willingly lent a help¬ ing hand when needed, not to re¬ ceive credit for themselves, but to give glory to God. Aside from volunteering, a pri¬ mary goal for XA was to be the most diverse RSO on campus. Hoover said that in the Bible, Rev¬ elations declared that, in the end, with God, meet among friends and meet real needs.” XA sought to transform the earth, both locally and around the world. Reconciling students to Christ, transforming the university, the marketplace, and the world.

Courtesy Photo 216 Organizations NX International Student Organization works to promote diversity on campus and in the community Mallory Smith International students made up 5.4 percent of the student body - close to 1,000 students. Nearly all of these students were part of one of the largest Registered Student Organizations on campus, the In¬ ternational Student Organization. ISO was established at the UA in 1978 in order to create a more complete awareness of interna¬ tional cultures at the UA. ISO held many recruitment ac¬ tivities each year to make students, especially freshmen, aware of their presence on campus. “We are trying to get more freshmen to become involved in ISO by having forums in Pomfret and Reid,” ISO president Rukmini Mudugandi said. ISO aimed to involve interna¬ tional students in the community and in campus life by sponsoring annual events such as an Inter¬ national Friday Night Live, a Fall Welcome Dance, an Internation¬ al Bazaar, a Valentine’s dance, a Woman’s Day celebration and an annual end of the year banquet and fashion show. These activities helped ISO achieve their motto, “retaining diversity, attaining uni¬ ty!” International Friday Night Live was held at the beginning of the fall semester and was designed to expose new and returning sudents to the international community at the UA. ISO sponsored the Wel¬ come Dance that was part of the FNL festivities. The annual International Ba¬ zaar featured a booth from every country represented at the UA and was held every year as a part of International Week. “There are about 20 cultural or¬ ganizations with booths and pre¬ sentations,” Muduganti said. Each booth presented an array of books, jewelry, foods and other cultural items. Also, several countries pro¬ vided cultural performances. This event provided students with a chance to learn about each coun¬ try’s unique cultural background and history. ISO also worked in the North¬ west Arkansas community by par¬ ticipating in service activities such as the Headstart Program, which promoted school readiness in low- income families. Each spring, ISO spent a day with children from lower income families, interacting, playing games and learning through fun. This program was designed to pro¬ mote healthy development in un- derprivledged children. “It is one of ISO’s most cher¬ ished projects,” Muduganti said. At the end of each academic year, ISO organized a banquet to further promote diversity on cam¬ pus and in the community. The banquet offered a variety of ethnic foods from various cultures and a fashion show featuring traditional costumes from countries around the world. ISO made great accomplish¬ ments in its 27 years at the UA, including winning the award for Outstanding International Cultur- al RSO for the 2003-2004 school year. ISO also received awards for Outstanding RSO programs and Outstanding RSO officer. Because of ISO’s efforts on cam¬ pus and within the community, the UA and surrounding areas were becoming more aware of their di¬ verse international connections. Culture Club 217 Mallory Smith professional pride Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers promotes diversity and professionalism at UA After being established at the UA in 2000, the Society of His¬ panic Professional Engineers made countless efforts to promote diver¬ sity and encourage professionalism at the UA. This national organization was dedicated to the advancement of Hispanics in the fields of engineer¬ ing, math and science, as well as to increasing the number of Hispanics in technical professions. The UA chapter offered career fairs, conferences, distinguished lecturers and scholarship oppor¬ tunities for members. In recent years, the SHPE foundation gave over $750,000 in scholarships. All SHPE members had access to the national and local SHPE job bank websites. SHPE also provided many opportunities for networking with engineering professionals around the world, including executives from Lockheed Martin, Proctor Gamble and Boeing. UA’s SHPE was composed of more than 40 members from over eight countries and was not limited to Hispanics. Members represented an array of cultural backgrounds and a wide range of programs within the schools of science and engineering. SHPE had been active on cam¬ pus for four years, and its members were proud of the organization’s rapid success. “We have improved a lot in the past four years,” president Mary Gomez said. The chapter expected to increase to more than 50 mem¬ bers within the year. SHPE participated in and orga¬ nized many campus and community activities to promote diversity. For example, several times a semester, members visited local schools to serve as interpreters. Each year, SHPE sponsored an end-of-the-year banquet to which they invited the National Society of Black Engineers and high school students interested in engineering careers. The UA chapter also traveled to national conventions and con¬ ferences in Pasadena, Calif; Tulsa, Okla. and Dallas, where members received third place awards in tech¬ nological competitions. To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month in September, SHPE helped bring William Cruz, a lecturer on communication styles between dif¬ ferent cultures, to the UA. Cruz, a consultant for Lucent Technolo¬ gies, spoke about how a lack of awareness of the differences in communication between cultures could result in misunderstandings and confusion. The UA chapter was reaching beyond the national SHPE mis¬ sion by including many different backgrounds and cultures as they worked toward the goal of educa¬ tional excellence. SHPE’s spring semester activities were focused on increasing leader¬ ship skills and interacting with His¬ panic high school students. In only four short years, SHPE es¬ tablished itself as an RSO support¬ ive of diversity and professionalism both at the UA and throughout the community and the country. 218 ◄fft- Organizations To promote the development of Hispanics in engineering, science and other techni¬ cal professions to achieve educational excellence, economic opportunity and social equity.

Courtesy Photo jrivim. force Student Alumni Board activites create student appreciation for alumni programs Hours upon hours of careful plan- ning, organizing and implementing were necessary for all Homecoming Week festivities to run smoothly and be pleasing to both students and alumni. The theme, the parties, the pep rally, the parade, the contests ... and one Registered Student Organ i- zation was behind it all. The Student Alumni Board was responsible for scheduling and carry¬ ing out all activities associated with the UA’s Homecoming celebration - a task that was larger than anyone could ever imagine. And that was only the beginning. SAB only got a short break before it was time to plan the organization’s three other annual events. SAB was formed in 1995 and giv¬ en the tasks of planning four major projects each academic year. Following homecoming, SAB planned the Faculty Appreciation Banquet, a joint project with the Associated Student Government held at the Alumni House. This event honored faculty members that made a great impact in students’ lives. Students nominated professors for this recognition, and SAB chose those to be honored from the nomi¬ nees. From those chosen, members of SAB chose one professor to he recognized as “Outstanding Faculty Member of the Year.” The third major event put on by SAB was “Red Carpet Day,” held in the spring semester. The event was created in response to Chancellor John White’s 2010 Commission, which included increasing enroll¬ ment. The event focused on recrut- ing high school sophomores and ju¬ niors, and was the only recruitment event at the UA that specifically targeted high school sophomores. The project included presentations by each of the colleges on campus, as well as campus tours. The fourth and final event planned by SAB was the “Official Graduation Party,” an event held to commemer- ate graduates and introduce them to the Alumni Association, with the goal of keeping students connected to the UA beyond graduation. Held at the Alumni House, the party was for graduates and featured free food, music, door prizes and giveaways. In addition, all graduates received their first year of membership to the Alumni Association free. Aside from the four major events, SAB was also responsible for serving as the governing body over R.E.A.L. Razorbacks. SAB members were proud of the impact they made on campus, as well as the impact their membership made in their lives. “You get to meet such a diverse group of prominent members of our alumni community and make connections with them,” president Jamie Fotioo said. “Plus you get to do so much on campus. It’s a great opportunity to give hack to the uni¬ versity.” All RSOs impacted the UA in one way or another, and each RSO ' s members worked hard to better our campus and our community. But few made as great of an impact as the members of SAB made in every as¬ pect of campus life. Driving Force 221 Emily Milholen engineeringexcellence Tau Beta Pi honors outstanding engineering students The life of an engineering stu- dent at the UA was far from easy. It consisted of four years of tireless cramming ... endless hours spent cooped up in the engineering building. When they finally got a break to step outside of Bell and enjoy the beautiful campus, engineer¬ ing students spoke of long nights spent studying and working to, at the least, pass their classes. There was no question that the fields of¬ fered within the College of Engi¬ neering were difficult. In fact, it could be argued that engineering was one of the hardest majors of¬ fered at the UA. To be the best and the bright¬ est in such a challenging field of study was truly an honor. These prestigious students were mem¬ bers of the engineering honor so¬ ciety, Tau Beta Pi. Membership was open to the top one-fifth of seniors and the top one-eighth of juniors within the College of En¬ gineering, with “exemplary char¬ acter” being another requirement for membership. Throughout the academic year, Tau Beta Pi provided events to add variety to the monotonous life of studying that engineering students often faced. Four times each year, Tau Beta Pi scheduled the program, “Engi¬ neering Futures” for members to attend. The program was designed to prepare students majoring in engineering for their future ca¬ reers by enhancing their technical effectiveness through interper¬ sonal skills and teamwork devel¬ opment. In the spring, the organization also hosted the annual “Engine Emily Milholen Week” to give engineering stu¬ dents a break from typical class¬ room projects. During the week, various departmental honor soci¬ eties, as well as other engineering societies, were given the oppor¬ tunity to host inter-departmental competitions. Aside from the events held for members, Tau Beta Pi also worked to give back to the UA campus and to the Northwest Arkansas community. On Dead Day at the end of the fall semester, the group sponsored a spaghetti dinner to which UA students were invited to attend. The idea behind the event was to offer students a break during the midst of finals. Tau Beta Pi was also active beyond the realm of the campus community. The organization ad¬ opted a mile of 1-540 where they went as a group to do a “Highway Clean-up” each semester. Members of the group also participated in a Thanksgiving canned food drive. The event was an inter-departmental competi¬ tion between each of the depart¬ ments within the College of En¬ gineering. To be an honors engineering student was an outstanding ac¬ complishment. But to he commit¬ ted in both the classroom as well as in extra-curricular activities said a tremendous amount about the character of a student. The members of Tau Beta Pi exemplified such outstanding character. They excelled in their schoolwork, and they used what little time they had outside of the classroom to better our campus and our community. Tau Beta Pi president fills a plate of food at the organization’s “Smoker” event. Throughout the year, Tau Beta Pi scheduled events such as thi s to honor engi¬ neering students who showed exemplary character and out¬ standing scholarship.

Living in the houses, we met our best friend, our best man, our maid of honor. The bonds we made during those years were strong enough to last a lifetime. We would forever be united as brothers and sisters by a secret code of friend¬ ship.

Photo by Gigi Holder 242 Greek Life _ around New members find homes on UA campus and begin lifelong bonds with fellow brothers and sisters Seeing an ocean of brightly colored balloons, hearing the chanting of var¬ ious Greek letters and feeling the but¬ terflies swarming around in your stom¬ ach. This was the very description that many former Panhellenic rush- ees relived when asked to recap their bid day experience. But not all Greek councils operated under the seemingly typical recruitment process. The Interfraternity Council held summer recruitment, in which parties were thrown for upcoming students in different communities around the state to give a feel of fraternity life and friendships. Prior to the 2004-05 school year, IFC held formal rush two weeks before school began. Beginning this year, the council decided to de¬ lay the process until after classes had begun. This change occurred in or¬ der to increase memberships and to better familiarize new students with the Greek system before making life- altering decisions. Along with this new plan, freshmen pledges were un¬ able to live in the fraternity houses as before. They, like every other first- year student, were required to live in residence halls to greater fulfill their first-year experience on campus. The system appeared to work as planned, as the number of rushees tripled from past years and more out-of state stu¬ dents were given the opportunity to learn about UA fraternities. Unlike the traditional rush system, National Pan-Hellenic Council or¬ ganizations took a more original ap¬ proach. Incoming freshmen were not allowed to embark on their Greek life until they had completed at least 12 hours of course work at the UA and reached a required grade point aver¬ age. Once this sector was completed, potential new members attended in¬ formational meetings, after which they were able to choose which frater¬ nity or sorority they were best suited. An application was then completed, and the undisclosed pledging pro¬ cess began. When the pledge class “crossed” and became members, each Greek group held a probate step show. It was at this time that the NPHC ini¬ tiates were finally able to expericence the excitement felt by IFC and Pan¬ hellenic pledges on their respective bid days. At the shows, UA students discovered the groups’ new members and the long awaited secrets were anxiously unveiled. Although the age-old tradition of Panhellenic rush was still in use for the new pledge classes, a new component was added to the recruitment process. Potential new members were guided by their Gamma Chis in choosing which house was the best for them. The in¬ famous sayings “boobs to back” and “would you like a recruit- ' mint’?” rang outside of the seven Greek houses, as girls lined up in single file to enter the front doors and meet prospective sisters. As the week progressed, the number of houses attended decreased and the intesity of the process caused disappointment and excitement alike. The dreaded “cross-cut” was deleted for the recent rushees, meaning no girl was denied a house after pref night, or the last day of rush, and was almost guaranteed a bid on Old Main Lawn the next morning. It was at this time that, through the singing and chant¬ ing of energized girls, the Gamma Chis revealed their sorority affiliation and the rushees opened the bid card containing the name of their home for the next four years. Once the enthusiasm wore off and new members became settled ■ into their new lifestyles as UA Greeks, ex¬ periences were shared, memories were made and lifetime bonds of sisterhood and brotherhood were established. And while the processes were emo¬ tionally strenuous for all involved, when it was all said and done, each new Greek felt right at home. Bid Days 243 Ronda Lewallen Greek groups focus time, money and efforts on giving back to the community through various annual events Over 64 million Americans volunteered with charitable organizations across the globe each year. The UA Greek com¬ munity was b y far no exception to this statistic, as they rose above community expectations. Many rushees looked to the community service that sororities and frater¬ nities put forth while choosing which was the one for them, and no matter which it was, all had numerous opportunities for giving back to society. Most UA Greeks made their proclaimed philanthropies one of the main priorities through¬ out the year. Several of these organizations were chosen by the Greeks’ national chapters, as others were locally selected. And still there were many who did not have one particular philanthropy for which to raise and donate money. Instead, they contributed their time and effort to an as¬ sortment of community service projects and served where they were most needed. A big issue that many houses faced was developing original ideas for raising the funds to donate. The Kappa Deltas held their ann ual Greek Man Pageant, which was, as always, a huge suc¬ cess. Each fraternity designated a contestant to compete in the pageant. This event was by far a favorite among the female Greek population. After a close com¬ petition, Beta Upsilon Chi Seth Livingston took the crown, with Phi Gamma Delta Aaron Ablondi and Sigma Nu Tyler Reis coming in for first and second runners up. Similarly, Beta Upsilon Chi held a date auction in which they auctioned off themselves to raise money for their philanthropy. This also benefited participat¬ ing sororities, as the group with the most members in attendance received a portion of the proceeds for the charity of their choice. Ronda Lewallen Other groups sponsored walk runs, held book drives, organized volleyball tournaments and hosted cookouts and dinners. “It’s a lot of hard work raising the money for Make-A-Wish, but when you see the look on the kids’ faces after their wish was granted, you know it was defi¬ nitely all worth it,” said Melissa Munzy, a sophomore Chi Omega. Not having a particular phi¬ lanthropy definitely did not stop the constant increase of volunteer hours for some Greek groups. A favorite of UA Greeks was in¬ volvement with Up ‘Til Dawn, which raised funds for St. Jude Research Hospital. Others par¬ ticipated in the Adopt-A-High- way program, worked with area after school programs, took part in Trick-Or-Treat with the Greeks and held golf tournaments. “I got to meet many interesting people and hear old stories about the UA, all while knowing that I was helping out the community,” said sophomore Pi Kappa Alpha A.J. Rizzo concerning his involve¬ ment with his fraternity’s annual golf tournament. While the UA did not require Greek groups to participate in community service, most chapters themselves required members to obtain a certain number of service hours throughout the year. “Philanthropies are a great way for the Greek community to join together to show their ap¬ preciation to the university and the community as well as a great opportunity for group bounding,” said Tony Bridges, a junior Sigma Phi Epsilon. Through their many unselfish acts, the UA Greek community rose above the typical stereotypes of sororities and fraternities and proved that Greek life was not just about socializing and meeting new people, but about helping others, as well.

Photo by Vance Green 246 Greek Life UA Greeks take a break from school and work to dress up and go out for a night of dancing and fun Mallory Smith Tacky dresses, 80s leggings, grass skirts, leisure suits and toga fabrics were all articles of clothing one expected to find in any fraternity or sorority member’s closet. These items were all part of the dress code for Greek functions. The functions ranged from west¬ ern-themed hoedowns to formal date parties and were held on any night of the week. Interfraternity Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council and Panhellenic Council organizations all participated in functions. Functions were normally put on by one fraternity or sorority or multiple groups together. Functions were an im¬ portant and festive part of Greek life on the UA cam¬ pus, as they allowed Greek groups to come together and meet people outside of their own hous¬ es. Many functions throughout the year were date parties in which sorority and fraternity members would ask a date to come to their groups’ function. Date Dash par¬ ties, in which the date of the function was kept concealed from its members until the day of the function, were often thrown by so¬ rorities. Other popular date func¬ tions among sororities were Crush parties, for which sororities listed its members’ dates in the campus newspaper, and the dates would arrive at the party not knowing who invited them. Fraternities and sororities also held formal and semi-formal date functions. Often, these parties were held outside of Fayetteville, and a whole weekend was planned around the party. Members of Sigma Chi enjoyed going out and spending time with their friends and dates in St. Louis for their for¬ mal. “I really enjoyed staying at the hotel with all of my friends,” said Lance Wilcox, junior member of Sigma Chi fraternity. Parties that were not date func¬ tions were open to all members of the fraternities and sororities who sponsored them. These func¬ tions were usually held at local restaurants, bars and clubs. These functions included toga parties, luaus and Halloween parties. All partygoers were required to ride a bus from Old Main to the venue in which the party was being held to ensure the safety of all partici¬ pants. “I really like functions that I get to buy costumes for because it is the only chance I get to dress up funny,” said Mallory Gramling, sophomore member of Kappa Kap¬ pa Gamma. Tailgating parties were held during football season by NPHC fraternities and sororities and were open to all UA students. Greeks Advocating the Mature Management of Alcohol (GAM¬ MA) also sponsored alcohol-free functions for Greek groups on campus. During these functions, fraternities and sororities enjoyed activities such as bowling and vol¬ leyball. Fraternities and sororities com¬ peted to see who could have the best GAMMA function. The com¬ petition was based on the func¬ tion’s t-shirt, banner and theme. “I feel like our function went really well; we had a really fun theme, and I think everyone who came had a great time,” said Emily Fleeman, sophomore member of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Functions were most definitely one of the most attractive aspects of Greek life. Night Life 247 Sounds of stomps, shouts and cheering echo across campus as Greek organizations step to promote unity in the spirit of tradition Mallory Smith Unity was a constant goal with¬ in the Greek community. Thus, it seemed fitting that fraternities and sororities strived for consistency and perfection in their step show performances. During a step show, all partici¬ pants in a performance aimed to step and clap in unison. Groups also used step shows as a way to highlight the attitudes and per¬ sona lities of their members. For sororities and fraternities on cam¬ pus, it was a chance for Greek or¬ ganizations to work together and bond. National Pan-Hellenic Coun¬ cil sponsored many step shows throughout the school year, in¬ cluding the Greek Unity Step Show, probate shows, and the Convocation, an opportunity for UA freshmen to become familiar with NPHC. The Convocation was held at the beginning of the year and fea¬ tured a step show that included all NPHC fraternities. NPHC fraternities and sororities introduced their newly-initiated members to the UA community through step shows. Members of Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Omega Psi Phi and Alpha Phi Alpha held probate shows at the union mall. As already active members and friends watched and cheered, the new members of these NHPC fraternities and sororities performed intricate step combina¬ tions. One of the largest step shows on campus was the Alpha Kappa Alpha Unity Step Show. The goal of this performance was to unite all Greek councils on campus and highlight the talents of the partic¬ ipants. This year was the eleventh annual show. Numerous Panhellenic soror- itites and 1FC fraternities partici¬ pated in the event. Members of the Kappa Iota chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha and members of Al¬ pha Phi Alpha helped teach the groups various step combinations. After all of the practicing and hard work, the groups performed in front of a sold out crowd at the Walton Arts Center. Each group displayed its own style through original themes, costumes and mu¬ sic. Zeta Tau Alpha took the top place among sororities, and Beta Upsilon Chi was ranked first from the fraternities. Ticket proceeds were donated to Alpha Kappa Al¬ pha’s philanthropy. In addition, NPHC sponsored the Homecoming Step Show, a competition that included step performances from all NPHC fra¬ ternities and sororities as well as groups from other colleges in Ar¬ kansas. With each passing year, NPHC carried on the ever-popular tradi¬ tion of stepping. Members of Omega Psi Phi fraternity step during a pro¬ bate show in the Union Mall.

For those who participated in the annual Greek Sing competition, these were just the beginning of emotions rushing throughout the auditorium. Greek Sing had been a favorite tradition among the UA Greek community for several years. All three coun¬ cils, Interfraternity, Pan-Hellenic and Pan- hellenic, participated together to pull off one of the best shows of our time. Groups from the councils were merged together to form different acts that ranged from singing the gospel to reliving classic televi¬ sion favorites, such as “Gilligan’s Island” and “The Beverly Hill¬ billies.” But these acts were not perfected over night. Participants spent many weeks brainstorm¬ ing and planning before practices could even begin. “Our group started practicing earlier than some, but it was a lot of fun because you’re with cool people who make the work more enjoyable,” said freshman Sigma Phi Epsilon Greg Creamer. Many performers practiced their acts every night for weeks to make certain their show would be the most memorable, and some did just that. Participants put count¬ less hours and effort into their routines, hut most of the soror¬ ity members could agree that the males worked extra hard to get their steps and moves just right. “I like being in Greek Sing be¬ cause I enjoy watching the hoys try really hard and still make idiots of themselves,” said sophomore Chi Omega Heather Burton. Local d.j.s, John and Jen from 105.7’s “John and Jen in the Morn¬ ing,” served as the show’s emcees and immediately set the tone for the events yet to come. Their pres¬ not uncommon sights to be seen. Each and every act brought more energy and enthusiasm. By the end of the show, the audience had witnessed Lucille Ball, the Spice Girls, a gospel choir and Aeros- mith, and the judges undoubtedly had their hands full. Alpha Phi Alpha, Farmhouse, Kappa Delta and Phi Delta Theta tallied as the high-point winners of the evening, with their version of America’s favorite pop perfor¬ mances. But Pi Beta Phi, Pi Kappa Alpha and Zeta Phi Beta took the title of Greek Sing Champions with their rendition of the beloved “Sister Act.” No matter the winners, all par¬ ticipants enjoyed their time get¬ ting ready for the performance and making new companions along the way. “My favorite part of this expe¬ rience was getting to know mem¬ bers of other houses that I would not normally have ever met,” said freshman Kappa Delta Blythe Mc¬ Cauley. Not only did Greek Sing serve as a bonding experience for partic¬ ipants, it was also a time for Greeks to shine in the limelight. Even audience members were able to get involved in the event, as they sang, danced and clapped along to the music resounding from the microphones and throughout Sing Along 251 dressrehearsal £ co o 15 Ladies going through the recruitment process in fall get a first-hand look at sorority life Each April, UA Panhellenic so¬ rorities devoted an entire weekend to introducing potential Greek ladies to the recruitment realm. The sororities each hosted parties in order to become familiar with high school seniors seeking Greek status. The weekend brough droans of t-shirt clad high school senior girls looking to go through recruitment in the fall. As they waited outside each house, their ears rang with the sounds of chants and shouts from within the Greek houses. The weekend consisted of seven parties, all on Saturday. The parties began at eight in the morning and each lasted 45 min¬ utes. While inside each house, the potential members were able to catch a glimpse of Greek life at the UA. All seven NPC sororities prepared a skit and set aside time to talk with the girls who came into their houses. “I enjoyed meeting all the girls in the houses; they all made me feel really comfortable,” fresh¬ man Lindsay Murchison said. “It was a really good experience for girls who are unsure about going through recruitment.” The weekend was an experi¬ ence for the girls going through recruitment to become familiar with how the actual recruitment week would work later in the sum¬ mer. “Greek Weekend is aimed at in¬ troducing young ladies to the UA and the Greek life community here,” said Parice Tyler, associate director of Greek life. “It serves as a mock trial of recruitment.” The event offered everyone in¬ volved a welcoming introduction to the upcoming fall recruitment process. Sorority members benefit¬ ed from the weekend by learning recruitment rules and procedures, while meeting with other girls who were interested in becoming a part of the Greek community as well. “Greek weekend was an easy way for girls planning to go through recruitment to get a feel for it, and it was good for us to get to know the girls,” said Britani Bach, Pi Beta Phi assistant recruit¬ ment chair.

During these few days, IFC fraternities threw elaborate parties at their houses, fully equipped with exciting enter¬ tainment, great food and all-night dancing. Unlike Panhellenic’s Greek Weekend, which aimed to intro¬ duce future rushees to recruitment at the UA, IFC’s Row Weekend was intended to allow fraternity members and their guests to min¬ gle with people who were not in the Greek system, explained asso¬ ciate director of Greek Life Parice Tyler. The long-awaited weekend started on Thursday night, when each IFC fraternity held “date night” in which the only people in attendance were by invitation. Friday and Saturday nights’ parties were open to all who wished to at¬ tend. Guests within these parties enjoyed listening to musical per¬ formances from well-known artists such as Coolio at the Sigma Chi house and Bone Thugs in Harmo¬ ny at the Pi Kappa Alpha house. “It was so much fun dancing and watching Bone Thugs; it real¬ ly brought back a lot of junior high school memories,” sophomore Em¬ ily Walker said. Anyone who went down frater¬ nity row noticed the ramshackle wooden fences constructed out¬ side the Greek houses. Not to be outdone, the gentlemen of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity built a painted metal fence which surrounded the outside of their house. No matter the appearances, these fences were designed in an attempt to control the crowd at each house. In addition, the fraternities spent hours decorating what could not be seen from the road, such as the tropical waterfall and grass hut that accompanied the Kappa Sigma’s island theme. Even though the original inten¬ tion behind the ever-popular Row Weekend was for potential frater¬ nity members to experience Greek Life, all UA students were able to enjoy the festivities and experi¬ ence one last weekend of fun be¬ fore finals.

Buck Freshman, Finance, Bonham, Texas Student Portraits 273 goodfortune Raymond Burks sets his sights on finding success in the wild, wild west Ronda Lewallen Generation Y grew up watching cartoons, T.G.I.F., game shows and reality televi- sion. One show that stood out in particular was the ever-popular “Wheel of Fortune.” Every American knew the phrase “big mon¬ ey,” the duo, Vanna and Pat, and what it felt like to solve the puzzle before anyone else in the room. A junior UA stu¬ dent, Raymond Burks, fulfilled a lifelong dream and excitedly accepted the opportu¬ nity to appear on the popular show. “I have annoyed all my neighbors in Humphreys the past three years be¬ cause I scream at the TV when ‘Wheel’ is on...I’m like a coach on game day,” Burks said. Burks’ adventure started when a friend, Brittney Golden, saw on the news that the show was coming to Arkansas to find contes¬ tants. The two had a tradition of watching “Wheel of Fortune” ev¬ ery night at 6:30. A draw¬ ing was held at Lander’s car dealership in Benton where Burks’ name was drawn to continue on with auditions, which were held on July 28 at the Capital Hotel in Little Rock. The judges apparently fell in love with the Stamps native, and in September, Burks found himself on his way to Los Angeles. This was his first plane ride, so he was very uneasy when it was an¬ nounced that the engine was having problems. “If I’m going to Wheel of Fortune,’ I’m going to die getting there... it meant that much to me,” Burks said. The big day, Sept. 10, arrived, and Burks’ received a free lunch and a check for his winnings, $8,800, which was to come in May. He was very sur¬ prised with how re¬ moved the show’s stars were from the contestants. But that aside, he met many contestants from different parts of the country and became instant friends with several. The best part of his experi¬ ence was screaming “big money” and actually spinning the ever-so-famous wheel. Luckily, Burks’ cousin lived in L.A. and was able to take him sightsee¬ ing. He saw Ming’s Chinese Theater, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills and Santa Moni¬ ca Pier, but his favorite stop was eat¬ ing at Rosco’s Chicken and Waffles, a vintage restaurant. While taking in the city, Burks, a self-proclaimed soap opera fan, also got a glimpse of the actress who played Robin on “Gen¬ eral Hospital.” Even after all of that, he was still a little disappointed with L.A. “It was not the tinsel town I thought it was,” he said. When the show finally aired on Jan. 26, many anxious UA students cleared their calenders for 6:30 to sit in front of the TV and watch Burks live one of his fantasies. Many asked him why he said the phrase “big money” so much. “I did not wait 20 years to get on that show and not say ‘big money,”’ he replied. The question that most wanted to know was what he would do with the money. Burks wanted to be practical with his earnings and either buy a car, or save it until after graduation. Although he was not the big win¬ ner of the day, Burks had the time of his life being a contestant on his fa¬ vorite show. “I got to see Vanna, Pat and a soap star all in person...my life is almost complete.” “I did not wait 20 years to get on that show and not say ‘big money.’ ” 274 People Sarah C.

Cogbill, originally from Ft. Smith boarded a plane to Germany to study not only chemistry, but the German culture as well. He received a stipend from the Ger¬ man American Exchange Program (DAAD), which made his trip to Ger- many possible. DAAD was an infor¬ mation source for students who were looking to study abroad in Germany or in the United States. Cogbill received a paid summer in¬ ternship through DAAD and worked at a chemistry lab at the University of Regensburg while he was visiting the country. During his stay overseas, he also helped several graduate students who were working on their theses. Before he went to Germany, he studied the German language for three semesters. The first month he stayed in Germany, he spoke English. However, by the second month he was there, he had to become more fluent in the language. “The graduate student I was working with only spoke German, so I had to learn a lot of new German words,” Cogbill said. While he was there, he stayed in an old part of Re¬ gensburg. This allowed him to fully immerse himself in all of the culture that sur¬ rounded him. Cogbill spent a lot of time in Europe trav¬ eling and seeing different cultures. He spent a week in Italy with a friend while he was studying abroad. He planned to receive two degrees, one in chem¬ istry and one in music. Cogbill, who was a baritone singer, re¬ ceived many years of operatic training. He said music was just as important as chemistry and that he loved perform¬ ing arts. “I think it’s great that I’ve been able to major in both music and chemistry ... it allowed me to spread myself out.” Cogbill could be seen in several University Theatre productions, in¬ cluding “Sweeny Todd” and “Parade,” in which he played a young soldier. “Both of my performances were completely different, but they were Mallory Smith both completely wonderful,” Cogbill. said. “In ‘Parade’ I got to start off the show with a solo; it was a great experi¬ ence.” Cogbill was not only involved with drama and chemistry at the UA. He also belonged to several other clubs including Golden Key, German cook¬ ing club and the Barbara Mashburn Scholarship Foundation. Each year this foundation sponsored concerts at the Walton Arts Center and the Rog¬ ers Little Theater. Cogbill served as the student coordinator for the foun¬ dation and directed a 30-minute musi¬ cal called “Archie Mehitable” for the foundation. Some of Cogbill’s other interests were the outdoors, climbing, camping and backpacking. Following gradua¬ tion, Cogbill planned to have a career in medicine; however, he wanted to keep his options open. He was proud to say that he received a well-rounded college experience at the UA. “I think it is great that I have been able to major in both music and chemistry. It allowed me to spread myself out and enjoy a lot of things the UA has to of¬ fer,” he said. Some of the most important people in Cog- bill’s life were his mother, who visited most week¬ ends, and his voice teacher, Janice Yoes. “There are a lot of great professors at the university who have helped me succeed,” Cogbill said.

For UA junior Tyler Davis, this was nothing short of an ordinary sched¬ ule. A seventh genera¬ tion cattle farmer from Ashdown, Davis was used to this regime and enjoyed every waking moment of it. “I enjoy what I do...I like being out here,” Davis said. Davis was speaking of his job at the UA Beef Farm, located several miles out of town. He was part of a program in which students lived and worked on the university’s research farms. This particular farm was located on 3,200 acres that included several houses for students and full¬ time help. The workers were allowed to live in the houses expense-free while still receiving a small salary. “We’re our own community out here...our own little world,” Davis said. He shared a three-bedroom house that was located across the street from the farm with only one other student. Davis’ job description consisted of taking care of the cattle, as well as the farm in general. He fed, weighed and gave shots to the cattle, carried out research trials, bailed hay, mowed grass and performed any other basic maintenence projects that needed to be done. Although he did not have set hours from semester to semester, the animal science major was required Davis and other students to work a minimum of 15 hours each week. Davis was a first generation college student and took pride in coming to the UA. “I like being a Razorback. You could go to other schools in the state, but this is a landmark...it’s a big tradition,” he said. When not working, he was taking part in other campus activities. Davis was president of the Block and Bridle Club, a member of the Stu¬ dent Alumni Board and the Pre-Den¬ tal Society and an ASG Senator for the Dale Bumpers Honors College. For Davis, the most rewarding as¬ pect of the program was the freedom and space he was al¬ lowed. “It’s a real neat deal... it’s so flexible and real laid back ... 1 have free rein to do whatever I want out here,” Davis said. I enjoy what I do I like being out here ... We’re our own community ... our own little world.” 284 People Matt Graves Freshman, Little Rock Jennifer M.

The CSD was an on-campus ser¬ vice that aimed to make the transi¬ tion to college life easier for disabled students. In order to create an equal learning environment for all students, CSD provided interpretation and tu¬ toring services. While working for CSD, Foote scanned books into a program that read them aloud to students who were visually impaired. She worked mainly with Spanish books . Foote said since Spanish was her first language, this job was easy for her to do. “The job found me,” Foote said. “1 learned from one of my cultural an¬ thropology professors that the CSD was looking for someone who could translate Spanish books.” Also, since Foote wanted an assistantship to help pay for graduate school, this job seemed like the perfect fit for her. Foote spent much of her time at the CSD changing Spanish text into an electronic form. Her job consisted of making sure everything that was scanned into the computer could be easily read. Besides converting text into electronic form, she also helped proctor tests for students. This duty included reading and scribing for stu¬ dents with different needs. She also helped disabled students get to class. “One reason I enjoy work¬ ing at the CSD is because it al¬ lows me to still use my Spanish skills,” Foote said. Work¬ ing at the CSD also gave her a chance to spend time with her husband, Jerald Foote, who was a professor at the UA. “We get to eat lunch with each other, and we can also carpool to work together,” she said.. As a child, Foote lived in Boulder, Colo., and spoke Spanish with her Clara Foote spends time working to break down communica¬ tion barriers Mallory Smith mother. She also learned some German from her father, and her grandmother, who lived next door. She received her undergrad¬ uate degree in Spanish from North Colorado University in Greely, Colo., and taught high school Spanish before she de¬ cided to go back to school to receive her master’s degree in Spanish. Foote held many po¬ sitions at the UA, including graduate student and teacher. She had completed two years in the master’s program, and for a few semesters, she taught Spanish at the UA. Recently, she decided to transfer to the Cultural Anthropology program. “I am halfway done with my masters degree now, and I would like to get my doctorate eventually.” When she fin- i s h e d school, Foote hoped to return to teaching, this time at the college level. Foote worked 20 hours per week in the CSD and enjoyed the easy-going atmo¬ sphere. “The people I work with are very nice, hut the best part of my job is knowing that I am helping fellow stu¬ dents learn.” “...the best part of my job is knowing that I am helping fellow students learn.” Portraits Profile 289 Bradley M.

McCain III Sophomore, Mechanical Engineering, Ozark Student Portraits 293 influentialscholar Jamie Fotioo demonstrated leadership within several on-campus organizations Mallory Smith When Jamie Fotioo graduated, she not only left her mark on the Senior Walk, but also on many student orga¬ nizations on the UA campus and in the Northwest Arkansas community. She graduated as a Senior Scholar with a bachelor’s degree in art and journalism and a minor in marketing. While being a full time student, Fotioo was involved with Golden Key Honor Society, Emerging Leaders, Student Alumni Board and many other on- campus organizations. Perhaps one of her biggest accom¬ plishments at the UA stemmed from her involvement with the Student Alumni Board. She joined the organi¬ zation in 2001 because she wanted a chance to make a big impact on the UA campus. Fotioo, a proud third- generation Razorback, had been in¬ volved with the organization since she was a sophomore and held several im¬ portant offices such as president, vice president of public relations and Red Carpet Day co-chairwoman. Red Carpet Day was an annual event organized in 2003 to help prospective UA students and their alumni parents become more fa¬ miliar with the UA. The event was part of the Chance 1 lor’s “2010 Commis¬ sion” that aimed to increased en¬ rollment. Fotioo led the commit¬ tee that founded the event. As co¬ chairwoman, she traveled to the University of Miami, Ohio, where they held a similar event, in order to get ideas for the event. Her involvement with the SAB helped her realize how crucial alum¬ ni support was to the UA. “I learned how you can still be in¬ volved at the UA without being a stu¬ dent. It made me want to be involved after I gradu¬ ate,” Fotioo said. Fotioo re¬ ceived many honors as a student at the UA. She was a Chancellor’s scholar¬ ship recipient every year she attended the UA. She was also chosen as part of the 2004 Homecoming Court. Fotioo was proud to be given this honor. “To be able to represent this Uni¬ versity and the students was a really great experi¬ ence. Being out on that field was awesome,” she said. In addition to being on the homecoming court, Fotioo was awarded the Outstand¬ ing Student Leader Award by the Association of Student Ad¬ vancement Programs. This group was comprised of over 300 colleges and universities across the nation. She was selected from students at 34 colleges from her district, which included Ar¬ kansas and the surrounding states. Amidst all of her honors, Fotioo was proud to say that she was leaving the UA with much more than just an education. “I am proud that I am leaving be¬ hind my own personal legacy in sever¬ al organizations on campus,” she said. In the future, Fotioo planned on having a career in the creative aspect of advertising, perhaps by promoting businesses within the state of Arkan¬ sas. “My education at this university has solidified my decision to stay in Arkan¬ sas,” Fotioo said. “I love this state.” Many students who attended the UA did not embrace the opportunity to leave such a great impact on the campus; however, Fotioo’s involve¬ ment provided her with the chance to create new standards of Razorback excellence. “...this University has solidified my decision to stay in Arkansas.” 294 People nGiHd fs it , v ; Sarah E.

They were all characters in a comic strip from the imagination of award-win- ning cartoonist Dusty Higgins. While most students on campus did not recognize the man behind the pen, almost all students could recognize his stylized drawings. His drawings were seen throughout issues of the Ar¬ kansas Traveler as editorial cartoons, sports cartoons, comic strips and fea¬ ture cartoons. Higgins became popular for his drawings as early as his childhood years. He developed his love for art in second grade when he began drawing stick figures. He still claimed to have an affinity for drawing thin peo¬ ple. His favorite things to draw were- people be¬ cause he enjoyed drawing emotions and fa¬ cial ex¬ pressions. However, his favorite cartoons were ones that were school re¬ lated be¬ cause they were some¬ thing with which he was able to relate. He had been working as a cartoonist since the age of 17 and had worked for publica¬ tions such as the Northwest Arkansas Times, the Arkansas Times and the Benton County Daily Record. Higgins had worked for the Traveler for six years as an editorial cartoonist and an editorial column writer whose article was featured on Mondays. Higgins said he was inspired by the work of many people. However, his favorites were Tom Toles and Matt Davies, both cartoonists whom he ad¬ mired for their artistic talents. “My style changes and adapts de¬ pending on who inspires me. When I was younger, my style was more bub- Mallory Smith bly and round, now it has evolved into a more angular style,” said Higgins. The editorial cartoon he was most proud of was one that he drew for the 2004 presidential election. It featured George W. Bush holding an umbrella while standing in a rainstorm of criti¬ cism. Higgins began winning awards at an early age. The first award he won was in fourth grade when he won a Christ¬ mas art contest. In 2003, he was award¬ ed the National Mark of Excellence in Editorial Cartooning from the Society of Professional Journalists. This was a nationally recognized award and was one of the most prestigious awards giv¬ en to student journalists. He had also been awarded Arkansas College Me¬ dia awards and Association of Ameri¬ can Editorial Cartoonist awards. Higgins was also part of several art presentations in the area. His editorial cartoons were featured in “Drawn and Quartered: Editorial Cartoonist Look at the 2004 Election,” an on-campus exhibit in which he was a speaker and had his art displayed. He was a very passionate person, devoting himself entirely to his inter¬ ests. Aside from drawing, Higgins was interested in movies and reading. His favorite books were those by Stephen King, and he worked for movie the¬ aters and movie stores in the area. Higgins earned his Master’s degree in journalism and his bachelor’s de¬ gree in art from the UA. In the future, Higgins planned to continue his edu¬ cation and receive his doctorate de¬ gree in order to teach sequential art, comics, on a collegiate level. Because there were only a few schools in the nation that offered this as a major, he planned on possibly moving to Geor¬ gia or New York. Portraits Profile 299 Brad N.

Student Portraits 303 femilyaftair The Quinns strengthen bonds with each other through classes Mallory Smith For most incoming freshmen, the college experience was both exciting and challenging. Stu- dents struggled to balance their difficult class work with their newfound parental freedom, and although she shared classes with her mother, Tricia Quinn, for Catherine Quinn, college life was not so different. The mother-daughter duo from Fayetteville enrolled at the UA in the fall of 2004, and they both decided to major in interior design. Tricia even asked for Catherine’s permis¬ sion to come to the same school and have the same major. Tricia received a degree in English from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. Before deciding that she want¬ ed to return to school, Tricia worked for the government. She decided to return to school and make a career out of a hobby after she had renovated their family home. “She loves this kind of stuff, so I am happy for her,” Catherine said. Catherine enjoyed hav¬ ing her mother in three out of five classes and had at least one class with her mother ev¬ ery day. “She acts like a mom in class, for example, she asks about why I am late or tells me that I have on too much makeup,” Catherine said. “But we are able to bounce ideas off each other.” Having a parent in class can have its disadvantages. One morning, Cath¬ erine was caught skipping class by her mother. She had decided to stay in bed, and Tricia called her on her cell phone to wake her up and tell her to come to class. “The best part about having Cath¬ erine in class is me getting a hug from her,” Tricia said. One ad¬ vantage of having the same ma¬ jor was that they tinder- stood the amount of dedication necessary for assignments. “If I weren’t in interior design myself, I would greatly underestimate the amount of work and time one must devote to succeed in this program,” Tricia said. Tricia and Catherine had very dif¬ ferent design styles, and they often joked about going into business to¬ gether after graduation. “We almost always like the other’s work better,” Catherine said. After graduation, Catherine even¬ tually wanted to own her own busi¬ ness, and Tricia wanted to pursue a career in commercial design. In her spare time, Tricia enjoyed cooking, sewing, painting and going to her son’s soccer games. Catherine spent what spare time she had in the HPER and with her boyfriend. Even though Catherine was from Fayette¬ ville, she was glad to be away from home. “My mom was good at decorating the house, but she never let me rear¬ range my room,” she said. For the Quinn family, going to school truly was a family affair, as Catherine’s father was a UA profes¬ sor. Despite the challenges of having classes together, the two enjoyed a constant source of support and moti¬ vation from one another. “The best part about having Catherine in class is me getting a hug from her.” 304 People Vinod K.

He flew to New York City and the Pentagon four days after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks to assist. He also spent time in Wash¬ ington D.C., for over 30 national and international crises. Michael Spencer devoted much of 11, 2001, Spencer rushed to New York City for nine days and Washing¬ ton D.C., for six days to aid however he could. When he was a freshman, Spencer was part of a team deployed to Ground Zero and the Pentagon. After the attacks, he searched for new ways in which he could give aid. All of his professors were very supportive of his his life to helping others. The senior desire to hel P others - and they allowed h him to take the journalism advertising and public relations major from Van Buren, Ark., became a Red Cross volunteer when he was 16 years old. He first taught lifeguarding and swimming lessons. His favorite part of being a volunteer for the Red Cross was being a Rapid Re¬ sponse Team (R.R.T.) member. In R.R.T., Spencer worked with a group of 30 other young volunteers in what he described as a “high-paced job.” After the terrorist attacks on Sept. “I love being around passionate people...” time he needed off from school. S p e n - cer also went to the na¬ tion’s capital for a nation-wide cam¬ paign geared toward young people to raise awareness for the urgent need for blood donors. He spent one se¬ mester and one summer touring on a bus around the nation visiting high Michael Spencer volunteers with Red Cross to serve the world Mallory Smith schools, colleges, malls and fairs pass¬ ing out this information. “We ended up collecting three mil¬ lion units of blood,” Spencer said. A crippling tsunami washed away the shoreline of south Asia, leaving hundreds of thousands of people in¬ jured and without many of their be¬ longings. During Christmas break, Spencer flew to Washington D.C., and helped to raise over $360 million to aid the victims of the tsunami who were left homeless or in need of medi¬ cal assistance. “I am most proud of the fact that I was a team leader for one of the largest disasters our world has seen,” Spencer said. After graduating, Spencer planned to attend graduate school and even¬ tually move to Washington D.C., to work for a nonprofit organization. He also aspired to teach at the collegiate level. Spencer also served as the president of the UA chapter of the Public Rela¬ tions Student Society of America. He believed it was “a way to help other students have opportunities and gain life experience.” After several successful years at the UA, Spencer planned to attend graduate school, possibly studying cri¬ sis communication. He also planned to move to D.C. and work for a non¬ profit organization. Spencer devoted countless hours of his time to making a difference, and the long hours were definitely worth it, he said. “I love being around passionate people and people I can learn from,” he said. Spencer credited his mom as the in¬ spiration behind his efforts. “I am inspired by my mom, one of the hardest working people I know.” Portraits Profile 309 Milly E Volmer Freshman, Music Education, Bartlesville Drew J.

Williams Junior, Criminal Justice Sociology, Joiner Student Portraits 311 activ eduty ROTC colorguard com¬ mander, Loan Vo, repre¬ sents America and the UA Mallory Smith As a member of Army ROTC, Loan Vo learned the principles of determi¬ nation, hard work and perseverance. Throughout her college career, Vo ex¬ pressed these qualities in every aspect of her education. Vo planned on graduating with a degree in industrial engineering. As a high school senior in Ft. Smith, she decided she wanted to be an engineer. She liked the industrial aspect of en¬ gineering because it involved people more than other branches of engineer¬ ing. “In high school people would al¬ ways tell me I was good at math, and since my sister majored in engineer¬ ing, I thought I would be good at it,” Vo said. She was also interested in the field of social work. In high school, Vo was involved with Junior ROTC, and she received a scholarship to come to the UA and be involved with the program. “My favorite part about being in ROTC is the leadership training it provides and the physical training,” shesaid. She was also involved with Golden Key, the Soci- “1 enjoy spending industrial engineering class. Vo was the commander of the UA colorguard and received the rank of MS4. The ROTC students involved with the guard presented the American flag at all home football and basketball games, and other community functions that needed colorguard presentations, such as parades and banquets. Since colorguard was regarded for its per¬ fection, they time with my colorguard friends... ety of Women Engineers and the Na¬ tional Society of Collegiate Scholars, of which she was the vice presi¬ dent of the UA chapter. She also served as the captain of the UA rifle team, Persian Rifles. She served as the president of Al¬ pha Pi Mu, an industrial engineering honor society that was only available to the upper one-third of the senior spent a lot of time training. “I enjoy spending time training with my colorguard friends; we have a lot of fun together; we are really close,” Vo said. Vo’s rank in ROTC gave her the responsibility of handling all of the logistics and transportation of supplies for all activities. She made sure that the flags were there for every event at which the guard performed. She was also in charge of making sure there were supplies for events sponsored by ROTC, including a Hog Wild party thrown for Junior ROTC students from local high schools. Vo received multiple awards from ROTC, however, one that she remem¬ bered well was the Scholar and Ath¬ lete award. Although Vo devoted much time to school, ROTC and honor clubs, she still had time to practice some of her favorite hobbies. These hobbies in¬ cluded cooking, running and crochet¬ ing. “I mostly enjoy cooking Vietnamese food,” Vo said. Vo was inspired by many people in her life; however, one who made a last¬ ing impression on her was her retired high school ROTC instructor, Sgt. Martin. They kept in touch even after her graduation from high school. After graduation, Vo planned to go on active duty for the United States Army. She hoped to eventually have a career related to engineering where she was able to spend much of her time with other people. 312 People Rachel L.

And what a beginning it was. As we headed to Kansas City for a workshop, we ran out of gas on the interstate in the middle of nowhere in the 100-degree heat. At least we can laugh now at the way Jeff said “Oh, we ran out of gas,” with a nonchalant attitude. Yep, there is no doubt that this has been a memorable adventure. From “Mengan” to our run in with Danny Glover, we have been blessed with wonderful experiences - some of which we will never, ever forget. I swear there are sayings that are still embedded in my brain. From “no dinky photos” to “man, he’s facing off the page,” we never ran out of laughs. But we did always run out of candy and diet cokes. I’m suprised I ever saw a cent of my paycheck after all the Wal-Mart trips I made to restock the candy bowl. This was a year of learning, of failing, and, most importantly, of succeeding. As the year got underway, we quickly realized there would be major obstacles down the road ahead. But we faced each and every one of them with positive attitudes and determination. And we overcame any challenge that we came across. We are all better people for the les¬ sons we have been taught while creating this book. And there is no doubt that we are a better team. And while I have no doubt that next year will bring problems that we cannot yet forsee, I know that, as a team, we will rise to the chal¬ lenge. To my staff - I hope that you know how truly thankful I am for your undying support and committment to the book and to me. I know there are days that you dreaded walking in that door and nights you wish you could have been at home instead of stuck here - those are the days and nights for which I am most thankful and proud. You met every expectation I could have imagined - you went above and beyond. You guys are such a special group of people. I am thankful for your individual attributes, as well as your eagerness to work as such an amazing body of one. Special thanks to the Kimpel Hall maintenance crew for constantly putting up with me and always lending a helping hand, to Dusty Higgins for assisting with marketing, to the Radison Hotel for allowing rooftop access for our closing photo. To my mom, dad and Sarah for offering an endless amount of encouragement and support. And to Ronda - for staying even after the late crew had gone home, for listening to me gripe when things went wrong and for being there to celebrate when things went right. I am so very proud of this book ... of the amazing people who made it happen ... and of this University. It has been an honor and a privilege to capture a year at this outstanding institution in our publication. It is my hope that the students, faculty and alumni will find as much joy when looking through the 2005 Razorback as our staff felt while putting it to¬ gether.

Pride. Excellence. Words that define our years at the University of Arkansas. Our existence here is grounded in traditions that were estab¬ lished decades before we ever set foot on Senior Walk. And it is because of our commitment to excellence that we have pride in the school that we hold dear to our hearts. Like each year in the history of the UA, this year brought with it unforseen challenges and unimagineable dreams ♦ And, as a unified body, we joined together to meet these challenges with determi¬ nation and make these dreams reality. In our own unique ways, each of us symbolize what it means to be a Razorback - with our talents and our ambi¬ tions we represent the spirit of this sacred place, this place that we are all so fortunate to call our home, a place to which we will all forever be connect¬ ed, as we will always remain to one another.
