The Rude Awakening (A Student's Introduction to Radford) September 7: just moved in. My God, I don’t believe that room! It's so small. I'll never get all my stuff in there! Mom and Dad kept complaining the whole way about how much junk I had. They kept saying that when they went to college all they had was one suitcase ... just one little suitcase. Oh well. I'm here now. Wonder what my roommate will be like? September 9: I had to wait two whole hours just to get into registration! What a pain! And the classes I got stuck with, 8 o'docks every morning! Plus my roommate is a real dip. I mean really flakey! I can tell already it's going to lx? a lousy year! September 14: Went to a party last night, what a blast! Met some guys from my old high school. And my roommate, the jerk, came in at four in the morning with six other guys, all drunk as hell! I could have killed him. Something's got to give. I'm not going to put up with this all year! 8rote Dcrwn 6 Introduction

Dedication: Dr. Jack W. Clark Radford University owes its new greenhouse in part to Dr. Jack W. Clark, professor of biology. He, along with Dr. Mikesell and Dr. Neal, supervise the day to day affairs of the greenhouse. Dr. Clark is also responsible for the Alumni Gardens, which he designed. According to his wife, Marian, plants are his first love, ever since his childhood when he would help his father in the garden. Dr. Clark was born in Hamlet, North Carolina, but the family moved to Norfolk when he was three years old. He attended the University of Virginia for three and one half years, completing his degree at Los Angeles State College. He received a Master of Education degree from San Fernando State College in 1959, one of the original graduates from that school. His wife recalled that when he received his PhD from Virginia Tech, she and their two sons presented him with a gosling since he had mentioned he would like to have geese in their yard next to the creek. That one goose, named Waddy, was only the beginning. Today the Clarks have fifteen geese. The Clark home is another of Dr. Clark's projects, built entirely without outside professional help, from the floor to the solar roof. Dr. Clark came to Radford in 1963 after spending fifteen years in California, teaching high school science for eight of those years. He received the Excellence in Teaching award in 1978. He served in the Navy Medical Corp in World War II, and his wife recalled a time shortly after their coming to Radford when that training came in handy. After a severe snowstorm the Clarks were cutting wood, and the axe slipped off the icy log, cutting through an insulated boot, two insulated socks and into Dr. Clark’s leg. He didn't say anything about it at the time though, but calmly waited until the wood was cut and carried inside before asking his wife for a needle and thread. While his leg was still cold, he put in four stitches closing the cut. Mrs. Clark said she was glad he could take care of himself because they could not have reached a doctor in that weather. The Clarks have two sons, Rob, 29, who lives in San Diego, California with his wife and two young daughters, and Christopher, 27, who lives with his wife in Rocky Mount, Virginia. Dr. Clark's main hobby is his garden, which his wife says is beautiful in the spring when in full bloom. Dr. Clark is well-liked by his students, a statement borne out by the fact that the student body voted on whom they would like to see the yearbook dedicated to, and Dr. Clark was their choice. Therefore, it is with pleasure that we dedicate the 1981 BEEHIVE to Dr. lack W. Clark, after alh any man who can put stitches into his own leg deserves some kind of recognition. Dr. Clark, here's to you! Ojoc Vktt inr Introduction 5
