CHANCELLOR RETIRES inds I of change The leadership provided by Chancellor Ferritor has produced a solid foundation for us. He had a remarkable tenure as chancellor. - John White After more than a decade of service at the helm of the main University campus, Dr. Daniel E. Ferritor ended his term as chancellor on June 30, 1997. Dr. Ferritor ' s tenure was marked by a dramatic upturn in fundraising for the University, which expanded the endowment and put the institution in the top level of fundraising for state universities. This success contributed to on-campus growth, including several major new con¬ struction projects such as the Poultry Science Center, addi¬ tions to Mullins Library, the renovation of Old Main and the planned intermodal transit facility. Under his leader¬ ship the University also became a well-respected research institution. I think what I will miss most about Chancellor Ferritor will be his caring and kind demeanor. He kept an open door and an open mind to the concerns of students, Associated Student Government President Adria Wilson said. But, I ' m glad he isn ' t going too far. Ferritor served as a professor of sociology, as depart¬ ment chairman in sociology and as the vice chancellor for academic affairs before becoming chancellor. Following a sabbatical leave during which he will spend time studying in Ireland, Ferritor planned to return to a University class¬ room. In the 1993 Razorback, Ferritor said he would rather teach sociology to a class full of freshmen and sopho¬ mores than just about anything else in the world. The leadership provided by Chancellor Ferritor has produced a solid foundation for us, newly appointed chancellor, Dr. John White, said. He had a remarkable tenure as chancellor. White, an Arkansas alumnus, left Georgia Tech, where he was the dean of the college of engineering, to assume his new role at the University. A Harrison native, Dr. White graduated in 1962. Thirty-six years ago I was a student at the University of Arkansas. Now, I have an opportunity to lead it into the next millennium, White said. Very few are afforded that opportunity — what an awesome responsibility it is. - Razorback Staff 18

MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY I ' ve been wanting to get into volunteer work, and this gave me the chance. We built shelves in a storehouse that was really bad off at Youth Bridge. I liked helping someone. - Olivia Norwood Once a year, USA Weekend sponsors Make A Difference Day. All across the country, individuals dedicate one Saturday to lending a hand in their neighborhoods. Students and staff from the University volunteered at several different places, including the Sang Senior Center, Habitat for Humanity and Carlson Terrace. The group effort was headed up by the Campus Activities Center, and each project was guided by a project leader. 1 wanted to be a project leader to get more leadership experience and because volunteering is important. It gave me a chance to do two things that are really important to me, junior Tara Austin said. 1 wanted to help out at the senior center because I think the elderly have a lot to contribute. Make A Difference Day gave many students who do not usually have time to volunteer an opportunity to help out for one day. Make A Difference Day was convenient. It made it easy to give up one Saturday to help out at the Project for Victims of Family Violence, sophomore Felissa Dotson said. The women there couldn ' t believe someone would give up their Saturday to be with them, and they knew we understood them and didn ' t blame them for being there. The kids were really excited that we were there to play with them, too. Some volunteers saw Make A Difference Day as a door¬ way to the community. I ' ve been wanting to get into volunteer work, and this gave me the chance. We built shelves in a storehouse that was really bad off at Youth Bridge. I liked helping some¬ one, freshman Olivia Norwood said. Some agencies canceled, but volunteers were quickly rerouted to organizations they were interested in. I originally picked one of the animal shelters, but they canceled. I ended up with the Habitat for Humanity group. It didn ' t really matter, though, because 1 just want¬ ed to help out anywhere, sophomore Michael Wadsworth said. I learned a lot about the organization and who they help. It was great work experience. Although Make A Difference Day came around only once a year, its message was heard by the many that tried to make their communities a little better. - Jennifer Cannon 20
