««S3 D Alumni Association Awards by Buffie Evans and Beth Yandell (The Megaphone) The Alumni Association Board of Direc- tors has proudly selected Dr. Robert L. Soulen and Charles Saterfield, Jr. as the 1985 recipients of the Mr. Homecoming Award and the Pearl A. Neas Service Award, respectively. These annual awards represent two of the highest honors given by the Alumni Association. Mr. Homecoming is an honor conferred by the Alumni Association on a member of the faculty as a token of affection and respect to one who has played an impor- tant part in the college days of grateful students. Sometimes the awards is Mrs. or Miss Homecoming, but it always carries with it a special meaning to the recipient; it means that graduates recall with appre- ciation what the recipient contributed to the education and general maturity of stu- dents during important formative years. One of the faculty members most exempli- fying these required qualities is Dr. Robert Soulen. Originally from Chicago, Illinois, Dr. Soulen received his B.A. in Chemistry and Physics from Baker University in 1954. In 1955, he entered the Army Signal Corps and received a diploma in micro- wave radio repair. After serving in the army, he continued his education at Kan- sas State University, where in 1960 he re- ceived a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. Dr. Soulen then joined the Jefferson Chemical Company of Austin where he worked as a Senior Research Chemist. Motivated by a desire to work with people, he left his ex- ploratory research to join the faculty of Southwestern in 1964 as the first Brown Chairholder. Dr. Soulen finds his field fascinating and easy to teach because he enjoys the subject matter so much. This job also enables him to study and research on his own. The Pearl A. Neas Service Award was established for the purpose of recognizing long and faithful service to the University. The Award is named for the late Miss Pearl A. Neas who served Southwestern for 49 years, 38 of them as registrar. The recipient of the 1985 award is Charles Sa- terfield. Mr. Saterfield is a cook for the University Commons. He has been em- ployed by Southwestern since 1959. He is married and has four children, two of which are S.U. graduates. He is also active in church and civic af- fairs. Mr. Saterfield was Financial Secre- tary for his church from 1975 to 1984 and was Trustee in 1 984. He also served on the Urban Renewal Board and on the Bicen- tennial Committee. In 1983, he was awarded the Citizen of the Year Award by the Citizen Memorial Association. Dr. Soulen and Mr. Saterfield are to be commended for their tremendous contri- butions to the University, both awards are distinctive and meaningful, and the recipi- ents are chosen with care. Congratulations to these men! 27
