Spring/Summer 2010 - University of Arkansas at Monticello

Transcription

From the Chancellor
Another
academic year has drawn to a close. This
was a special year that saw UAM celebrate its 100th birthday. Now, instead of
looking back, I am excited to look forward as we begin our second century. We
are closer to our goal of expanding the forestry complex, and we are remodeling
the first floor of Bankston Hall. We plan to make all first floor rooms single occupancy to respond to the needs and desires of our students. With on-campus
housing at, or near, full occupancy, I have appointed a committee
to research possibilities for new housing opportunities for the
campus.
We are also moving forward with plans to determine the feasibility of creating a campus-based retirement community. This
was envisioned as part of our original campus master plan in
2005. This will allow individuals to continue their relationship
with the university and participate in the many activities that
happen on a busy college campus. This retirement community
will also present a unique and desirable housing option not available in many communities in our region.
We continue working to improve our graduation and retention rates while
remaining true to our mission as an institution that provides educational opportunities to those who might not attend college otherwise. Those opportunities
are even greater now, thanks to the Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship
funded by the state lottery, which will provide thousands of dollars in scholarship revenue to Arkansas students.
As you look through the pages of this magazine, you’ll read about the success
of individual alumni as well as the remarkable tale of one of the university’s
greatest success stories, our pre-medicine program. We give you a profile of current first-year medical students Stephen Cagle and Amy Hoang.
You will also read the amazing story of Shaye Smith. We knew her as Charlotte Smith when she was shooting baskets for the Cotton Blossoms, but now
she is an award-winning country music songwriter.
We were pleased to recognize Martin “Marty” Brutscher as our 48th distinguished alumnus during our commencement exercises on May 14. You will see
photographs of our graduation ceremonies which represent an ending for us
but a new beginning for our graduates. We wish them well as they begin a new
chapter in their lives and invite them to join YOU as proud alumni of UAM.
Best Wishes,
Jack Lassiter

UAM’s graduating class of 2010 faces both challenges
and opportunities.

On CAMPUS
New Record
U
AM set a new spring semester
enrollment record with 3,474 students currently enrolled on its three
campuses in Monticello, Crossett and
McGehee, according to preliminary
figures released by the university’s
registrar.
The total represents a 7.45 percent
increase over last spring’s enrollment
of 3,233, which at the time was also a
record for the spring semester.
UAM’s spring enrollment dropped
by just nine students from the all-time
record enrollment of 3,483 students
reported in the 2009 fall semester, a
dramatic break from past enrollment
trends which saw student populations
decrease from fall to spring by an
average of 5.3 percent over the last
decade.
UAM’s spring enrollment has
increased 19.9 percent in the last
six years – from 2,696 in 2004 to the
3,233 in 2010.
“These numbers are both en-
National Leader
D
r. Laura Evans, an assistant professor of nursing at UAM, has been appointed to serve as
a National League for Nursing Ambassador by the
NLN.
As an NLN Ambassador, Evans will serve as a
liaison between the national organization and the
UAM School of Nursing, informing the faculty and
administration about NLN initiatives, grant opportunities, conferences, publications, workshops, and
other benefits available to NLN members.
Evans joined the UAM faculty in 2008. She
holds a bachelor of science in nursing degree
from St. Joseph’s College, a master’s degree
from the University of Texas Southwestern
Medical School, and a Ph.D. from the
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
She is a women’s health nurse practitioner
and practiced with the Arkansas Department
of Health in prenatal and gynecologic clinics
for a number of years. Evans has conducted
research in the areas of health promotion and disease prevention, women’s health, and
nursing education.
couraging and a little surprising,”
said R. David Ray, provost and vice
chancellor for academic affairs. “It
goes against enrollment trends from
the past, and not only at UAM, but at
most colleges and universities across
the country. In the past, we could
count on a pretty significant drop
from the fall to the spring semester,
but students are staying in school. I
think it’s a reflection of the opportunities we’re offering and efforts of our
faculty and staff to retain students
as well as the tough economic times
we’re experiencing.”
UAM Chancellor Jack Lassiter
praised the efforts of Mary Whiting, director of admissions, and her
recruitment staff for the record enrollment. “Mrs. Whiting and her staff work
long hours in what has become a very
competitive job to attract students to
our three campuses,” Lassiter said.
“As the available population of high
school graduates in our area shrinks,
the competition for students becomes
even more intense. Our recruitment
staff and faculty are to be commended for their tireless work on behalf of
the institution.”
A large percentage of UAM students receive some form of financial
assistance, which according to Susan
Brewer, director of financial aid, is an
inducement to attend the university.
“Many of our students would be unable to attend college without receiving financial aid in some form,” said
Brewer. “Our office is dedicated to
insuring that any student who wants
to attend will be able to, regardless of
his or her financial situation.”
Speaking Of
T
he UAM debate and forensics
team brought home 14 awards
from the International Public Debate
Association (IPDA) national tournament and convention in March.
As a team, UAM placed fourth in
the season-long IPDA debate competition. Individually, McGehee senior
Josh Smith placed fifth for the season
in varsity debate while Tiffany Reed, a
sophomore from Cabot, placed ninth.
The IPDA individual public debate
competition featured novice, varsity
and professional divisions.
In the novice division, Yvonne Hinshaw, of Monticello, Brittany Booker,
of Hermitage, and Melissa Rodgers,
of Star City, finished in the top 16.
In the varsity debate division, Chris
Brown of Siloam Springs finished in
the top 16 nationally and won the
seventh place speaker award. Josh
Smith and Tiffany Reed also finished
in the top 16.
In the professional division, Keith
Milstead, UAM’s assistant director
of forensics, finished as a national
quarter finalist and won the fifth place
speaker award. “For such a young
team they did extremely well,” said
Jim Evans, director of debate and
forensics. “We were in it until the very
end against some really tough competition.”
Conclave Champs . . . Again!
U
AM forestry students continued
their dominance of the Asso-
ciation of Southern Forestry Clubs
Conclave competition in March, winning the event for the 30th time in its
53-year history.
Hosting the event at the Drew
County Fairgrounds, UAM students
won the competition for the second year in a row, finishing first in
the physical events and third in the
technical events to edge arch rival
Stephen F. Austin State University
for the overall Conclave championship. Students from the University of
Georgia finished third.
Conclave is a competition of both
technical and physical forestry skills
among forestry students from 15
universities. This year’s event brought
together competitors from UAM,
Stephen F. Austin, Alabama A&M,
Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana State, Louisiana
Tech, Mississippi State, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Texas A&M,
and Virginia Tech.
UAM students placed in the top
six in five different technical events
and dominated the physical events
competition, finishing first or second
in eight different events.
“The students deserve all the
credit,” said Dr. Lynne Thompson,
faculty advisor to the forestry club.
“They did all the work and made sure
everything went smoothly. I’m proud
of their efforts.”

“Children with autism spectrum
disorders (ASD) are increasingly being educated in inclusive general education classrooms,” explained Debbie
Givhan, instructor, grant recipient and
leader of the UAM Autism Project.
“For these students to be successful,
teachers and parents need to know
as much as possible about autism
and the teaching methods that work
best for these students.”
The UAM Autism Project provides
training and on-site mentoring for
teachers, paraprofessionals and parents to prepare them to help children
with autism be successfully integrated
into general education classrooms.
The project will provide 15 clock
hours of training for both general education and special education teachers
as well as paraprofessionals and parents of autistic children from southeast Arkansas elementary schools.
The training will include learning the
characteristics of autism and developing individual teaching techniques to
meet the specific individual needs of
autistic students.
An on-line forum will be developed
to exchange information and share
resources and each participating
classroom will receive a minimum of
two on-site mentoring visits from a
professional with experience in teaching autistic students. In addition, an
ASD resource library will be created
in the UAM School of Education to
provide supplementary resources and
materials to be used to help students
with ASD.
The Voice
U
AM’s campus newspaper, The
Voice, and the Boll Weevil centennial yearbook received recognition
at the 2010 Arkansas College Media
Association’s conference and awards
luncheon held recently in Fayetteville.
The Voice took both second and
third place in the newspaper category
for the Best Web Edition, with the
University of Arkansas’ Traveler taking
first overall. “I am happy The Voice
won second and third place,” said
Editor-in-Chief Linna Jones of Gould.
“I congratulate the staff members for
their achievements.”
In the yearbook category, the Boll
Weevil staff took second in academics
writing, third in organization layout for
the staff spread, and third in sports
layout.
Literary Winner
U
AM History Professor William L.
Shea has received two prestigious awards for his latest book,
Fields of Blood: The Prairie Grove
Campaign.
The Civil War Round Table of New
York announced recently that Shea is
the winner of the Fletcher Pratt Literary Award for the best book published
on the American Civil War in 2009.
Shea will receive the award at a dinner at the National Republican Club in
Manhattan in May. Previous winners
include Bruce Catton, Shelby Foote,
and James McPherson. Shea is the
first Arkansan to be so honored.
Shea is also the recipient of the
J. G. Ragsdale Book Award of the
Arkansas Historical Association.
The award is given annually to the
author of the best book published on
Arkansas. Shea was presented with
a plaque and a $1,000 check at the
annual meeting of the association last
week in Jonesboro.
“I commend Dr. Shea for these
awards and for his commitment to
scholarly research,” said UAM Chan-
cellor Jack Lassiter. “These are prestigious honors that reflect positively on
both Dr. Shea and the university.”
Fields of Blood is the story of the
final Confederate attempt to regain
control of Missouri in the Civil War.
The campaign culminated in a pitched
battle at Prairie Grove, Arkansas, in
December 1862 in which the Confederates were turned back. The book is
the result of 12 years of research in
archives in 20 states. It was published
by the University of North Carolina
Press and has received glowing
reviews in both scholarly journals and
public forums such as Amazon. It is
a selection of the History Book Club
and Military Book Club.
Shea has published three other
books on the Civil War in Arkansas
and surrounding states: Pea Ridge:
Civil War Campaign in the West
(1992), Vicksburg Is the Key: The
Struggle for the Mississippi River
(2003); and Wilson’s Creek, Pea
Ridge, and Prairie Grove: A Battlefield
Guide (2006). Shea has been a Rockefeller Scholar at Colonial Williamsburg, a Fulbright Professor in China,
and a consultant for the National Park
Service.

heritage with a new marketing
and advertising campaign, using the
tag line “Have you got what it takes
to be a Boll Weevil?”
The tag line is being used in
television commercials on two
Little Rock stations – KLRT Fox 16
and The CW – and will appear in
print and outdoor advertising as
well.
The star of the campaign is
UAM’s boll weevil mascot, who
gained national notoriety for beating up an aardvark mascot in a
series of national television commercials for the wireless phone
application KGB KGB, which
answers questions sent via cell
phone.
As part of the campaign,

Prepared
for Success
S
urviving medical school can be a dawnto-exhaustion test of mind, body and
will. It takes intelligence, preparation,
hard work, and the ability to manage
time to make it.
Oh, and one more thing. “A lot of caffeine,” says first-year medical student Amy Hoang.
Hoang and Stephen Cagle are in their first year at the University
of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock. Both completed the
pre-medicine program at the University of Arkansas at Monticello.
Hoang, a Monticello native, and Cagle, who hails from Ratcliff,
graduated from UAM last spring and represent the latest success
stories for a pre-med program that has created a legacy of excellence.
“If a student can make it through our premed program with a
decent grade point average, they’re probably getting into medical
school,” says Dr. Morris Bramlett, dean of UAM’s School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences. “And they’ll do well once they get
there.”
Over the past three decades, UAM’s pre-medicine graduates have
had one of the state’s highest acceptance rates to medical school.
The competition is fierce, with more than twice as many applicants
as available spots.
Hoang’s decision to go into medicine was a natural one for the
youngest member of a family of overachievers. Amy’s oldest sister,
Cynthia, is a UAM graduate and now a pharmacist living in Houston. Another sister, Kimmy, also a UAM graduate, is a second-year

optometry student at
Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale,
Fla. Her oldest brother,
Bryan, is a UAM graduate
and a first-year resident
physician at Jefferson
Regional Hospital in Pine
Bluff. Another brother,
Austin, is the fifth member of the Hoang family
with a UAM degree. He
is set to graduate from the
University of TennesseeMemphis Dental School
in May. Allen Hoang,
who Amy refers to as the
oddball of the family, is a
Hendrix graduate and a
third-year medical student
at UAMS.
Cagle, who grew up in
a military family, thought
about dentistry as a career,
but with encouragement
from his family and his
own interest in microbiology, decided to pursue
medicine. Cagle’s wife,
Megan, is a first-year pharmacy student at UAMS.
They met as undergraduates at UAM.
Both Hoang and Cagle
are immersed in a daily
schedule that includes
eight hours in the classroom and laboratory, then
more study once class is
over. “You have to force yourself
to study,” says Cagle. “It takes a
certain amount of self-discipline.”
The toughest adjustment for
both has been the speed at which
material is covered in the classroom
and the overall intensity of the
program. “The hours are longer
UAM MAGAZINE
Hoang and Cagle will spend the
next three years at UAMS.
and it’s more intense,” says Hoang.
“And the integration of all the
courses into one exam is a really
tough thing. Every subject, there’s
team-based learning so one professor tackles one subject, another
tackles another, and so on. Then
each writes their own questions so
you have to get used to each professor’s style of testing because it’s
always changing.”
“As an undergraduate, you probably get two to three lectures in a
subject a week,” adds Cagle. “Here,
you’re getting two to three lectures
in a subject in a day and you’re ex-
pected to test over 20 or 30 lectures
in two weeks.”
Both Hoang and Cagle say
UAM prepared them to succeed in
a highly competitive environment.
“I feel like UAM prepared me
academically,” Cagle says. “I haven’t
seen anything that was a shock yet.
We’d already been introduced to
everything we’ve seen here.”
“I think we were given more opportunities at UAM,” says Hoang.
“The faculty really helped us. My
biggest struggle was chemistry. Dr.
Bramlett really helped with that.
He was very encouraging and I got
through it.”
Bramlett says UAM’s small
classes are a key to the success of its
pre-med graduates. “Our students
get a lot of one-on-one time, or
small group time with faculty,” he
explains. “That’s very important.”
Hoang and Cagle must complete four years of medical school
followed by an internship and
residency. After that, it’s four years
practicing in the military, Cagle
in the Air Force and Hoang in the
Navy. Both joined the military to
finance their medical education.
“They pay for all of our school,”
says Cagle, “Books, supplies, equipment, tuition and fees. They give
you a $20,000 bonus and while
you’re in school, you get $2,000
a month to live on. When you’re
done with your residency, you owe
them four years.”
Cagle is considering trauma
surgery as a specialty which could
lead to a career as a field surgeon
in the military. He and his wife
will consider their options before
he chooses a military career. “That
will be a family decision,” he says.
“I’ve got a military background in
my family. I’ve got two brothers
in and my dad’s in. It will depend
on if Megan’s interested in moving
around or if she’s ready to settle
down, or if I’m ready to settle
down.”
Hoang is leaning toward becoming an OB-GYN. Both she and
Cagle must declare their specialties
in their third year. In the mean
time, they will continue their studies, thankful for the preparation
they received at UAM. In fact, both
were so well prepared that medical
school isn’t quite the challenge they
expected.
“It’s not that hard,” says Hoang.
“It just takes a little bit more effort
and a little bit more time.”
“They hype it up to make it
seem it’s almost impossible,” adds
Cagle. “But if it was, we wouldn’t
have any doctors.”
“That really doesn’t surprise
me,” says Bramlett. “Our program
is very rigorous. It’s hard, but it’s
supposed to be.”
Recently, Bramlett received an
e-mail from Cagle. “It said, ‘Just
wanted to let you know I am very
well prepared. I know a lot of
things other students don’t.’ That
pretty much says it all.”

Move
M
arty Brutscher followed a familiar path to the
University of Arkansas at Monticello.

UAM MAGAZINE
The son of blue collar parents
in Louisville, Kentucky, Brutscher
needed help to pay for college. He
had gone to Cumberland University on a track scholarship, but
Cumberland wasn’t a good fit and
his scholarship didn’t pay enough
to offset the cost of tuition at the
private school.
Thanks to a chance meeting
at a track meet, Brutscher heard
about UAM and eventually came
to Monticello, where he was a triple
jumper on the track team, joined
Phi Lambda Chi fraternity and
became part of David Ray’s awardwinning debate program.
Brutscher parlayed the communication skills he learned as a
debater with the drive of a competitive athlete to forge a successful career in the medical billing
industry. Brutscher is the executive
vice president and principal of
Baltimore-based McBee Associates,
one of the nation’s largest medical billing firms. For his success in
business, Brutscher is UAM’s 48th
Distinguished Alumnus.
“This is a tremendous honor
and completely unexpected,” said
Brutscher. “I had such great times
there and learned so much about
what it takes to be successful.”
Chancellor Jack Lassiter called
Brutscher a “classic UAM success story. He represents what this
institution has always been about,”
Lassiter said. “Like so many of our
students, Marty came to UAM
searching for an opportunity. He
had the drive and the determination to be successful; he just needed
a chance.”
Brutscher got his chance after
meeting Richard Smith, a former
UAM shot putter, at a track meet
in the spring of 1975. Brutscher
was looking for a school that
needed a triple jumper and Smith
called Boll Weevil track coach
Harry Denson, who arranged for
Brutscher to visit the campus in
late July. During his visit, Denson
asked Brutscher what he wanted to
study.
“I mentioned that I might want
to be a lawyer,” Brutscher remembered. “Coach Denson said, ‘Well,
you’ll need public speaking skills.’
So he arranged for me to have
breakfast with David Ray. David
told me he could get me more
money if I participated in debate,
so that money, combined with my
work-study job in track, seemed
like a good deal.”
Brutscher’s first experience with
the debate team was forgettable.
“The first day of debate practice,
David said he was going to videotape our presentations,” Brutscher
said. “I froze . . . completely!”
Despite his initial setback,
debate helped Brutscher develop
polished communication skills
and learn some important lessons
about life outside the boundaries of
a small college campus. “The trips
with the debate team exposed me
to the rest of the world,” he said. “I
discovered that there was another
level of people out there. I found
out that I might have been smart,
but there were a lot of people out
there smarter than me. If I was
going to be successful, I knew I had
to work hard.”
Brutscher’s work ethic and his
communication skills became an
important part of his professional
success, but he also learned some
important lessons as a member of
the UAM track team. Brutscher
was an All-Arkansas Intercollegiate
Conference triple jumper for the
Boll Weevils and set a school record
of 48 feet 9 inches, a mark that will
stand in perpetuity unless UAM reinstates its track and field program.
But it was the interaction with his
teammates that had the biggest
impact.
“You have to remember, this was
the ‘70’s and things were different
then,” Brutscher explained. “Being
on the track team, I got to travel
with a diverse group of guys and
I learned a lot about dealing with
people from different backgrounds.
I was very lucky to be involved in
both an academic and athletic setting at UAM.”
Brutscher drifted a little after
college before being introduced to
health care billing after taking a job
at Ingram and Associates in Nashville. From there, he was offered a
job managing the financial operation of a Baltimore hospital. He
was 29 and younger than all but
two of the 100 people he supervised.
“The hospital billing process is
very complicated and I didn’t know
that much about it,” Brutscher
said. “My job was more about
managing people, getting the best
out of them. The communication
skills I learned in college helped me
tremendously.”
Brutscher joined McBee and
Associates in 1992 as a manager
supervising a staff of 25. In 1994,
he became a senior manager and
in ‘95 became a partner. He is now
the executive vice president and
second in command of a company
with nearly 400 employees.
He and his wife, Erma, who he
met 15 years ago at a health care
conference, live in the Baltimore
suburb of Monkton and spend
their spare time at Oriole Park at
Camden Yards cheering for the
Baltimore Orioles.
“Erma didn’t go to school there,
but we’ve managed to get back a
few times and she loves it as much
as I do,” said Brutscher. “I had
some really great times there.”
AT HOME Erma
Brutscher didn’t
attend UAM, but
according to Marty,
“she loves it as
much as I do.”

From basketball player to songwriter,
Charlotte Smith and Nashville fit like
a comfortable pair of jeans.
Her Story
An unexpected thing happened to Charlotte Smith on
her way to becoming a college basketball coach. She
fell in love with country music.
14
UAM MAGAZINE
T
hat love led her to a successful career as a country
music songwriter with six
number one hits and more
than 500 songs to her
credit. Now writing under the name
Shaye Smith, she is one of Nashville’s
preeminent songwriters but her
journey has taken as many twists as a
good country song.
When Smith graduated from the
University of Arkansas at Monticello
in the spring of 1989, she briefly
tried her hand as a management
trainee for Roadway Express but
quickly realized the business world
was not for her.
Next came an offer from Leon
Barmore, the legendary women’s
basketball coach at Louisiana Tech,
to join his staff that fall as a graduate
assistant. Smith had been an AllAmerican basketball player at UAM
and agreed to go to Tech in August.
In the mean time there were bills
to pay and Smith needed a job.
She found one at KDEW radio in
DeWitt, her hometown, as a country
music disc jockey, an ironic note
since Smith didn’t like country music. “I was a rock fan,” she says now.
“I was really into Journey, Michael
Jackson, Air Supply.”
It wasn’t long before Smith’s music tastes changed. Forced to listen
to music she thought she didn’t like,
Smith became a fan. “I thought,
‘Every one of these stories are like
my life story,’” she says.
Smith liked country music so
much she began writing her own
songs even though she couldn’t play
an instrument. When her summer
job at KDEW came to an end, she
enrolled in graduate school at Louisiana Tech but never took the coaching job. Instead, she found work at
a Ruston radio station. It was there
that Charlotte became Shaye.
“They told me Charlotte wasn’t a
radio name,” she says. “So I played
around with the first few letters of
my name and came up with Shaye.
I discovered that once you change
your name, you can’t be two people.”
In 1991, Smith took a job as a
DJ at KMAG radio in Fort Smith,
Arkansas, then bought a guitar and
taught herself to play. Before she
could play, she wrote songs with the
melody in her head and would sing
them to friends who would play the
chords on piano or guitar.
By 1993, Smith was ready to take
a giant leap. She had made contacts
in the music business, so she headed
to Nashville with $350 in her
pocket. “Looking back, it was crazy,”
she says, “but when you’re young
and don’t have a lot of bills and responsibilities, you can do things like
that. I decided I was either going to
do something I love, or be miserable
my whole life.”
Almost two years to the day after
her arrival in Nashville, Smith hit
the big time for good. Her song
“One Boy, One Girl,” co-written
with Mark Alan Springer and
recorded by Collin Raye, climbed to
number one on the Billboard country music charts.
More hits followed – “That’s Why
I’m Here,” co-written with Springer
for Kenny Chesney; “Single White
Female,” co-written with Carolyn
Dawn Johnson and performed
by Chely Wright; and the debut
number one “There Is No Arizona,”
co-written with Lisa Drew and Jamie
O’Neal, and performed by O’Neal,
all which earned BMI Country
Awards.
Smith also wrote a number one
hit in Sweden with “I Should Be
Sleeping” and followed that with
“Complicated,” co-written with
Johnson, which became number one
in Canada and was named the Canadian Country Music Association
Song of the Year.
Smith’s songs have reached as far
as New Zealand, where “They Can’t
Take That Away” spent seven weeks
at number one, became the country’s
all-time biggest single, and went four
times platinum for the winner of
New Zealand Idol.
She has also written for Martina
McBride, Faith Hill, Trace Adkins
and recently had a song called “Pink
Guitar” selected by Reba McIntire
for her new album. Smith’s “Songs
About Me” reached number two
for Jewel and forged a friendship
between writer and performer. Jewel
invited Smith to her working ranch
in Stephenville, Texas, where she met
Jewel’s husband, seven-time World
All-Around Cowboy Champion and
Dancing With The Stars contestant
Ty Murray. “Some of the perks of
the business,” says Smith with a
chuckle.
All in all, not a bad resume for
a girl from DeWitt with no musical background. “I never sang in
church choir or the high school
choir,” Smith says. “But I always
loved music. I’m still not a very good
singer, but I’ve been able to hone my
craft over time and I do all right on
writer’s nights at clubs. But I don’t
have a great voice.”
Smith is signed to a publisher,
who markets and plays her music to
people in search of new songs. She
can write a song tonight, record it
tomorrow, turn it in to the publisher
and the next day have it pitched to
an artist. Her inspiration comes from
everyday life. “You have to be careful
what you say around a songwriter,”
she says.
“I guess the coolest thing about
what I do is I know everyone on the
face of the earth loves music in some
form or fashion,” she adds. “Music
can make you laugh or cry. It makes
me feel my job has meaning to it.”

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON Allen Sharpe, who used to
serve as a ballboy for his father, Gary, at UAM basketball games, is the new Boll Weevil basketball coach
Coming Home
A
llen Sharpe is the new men’s
basketball coach at the University of Arkansas at Monticello.
Sharpe was introduced at press
conferences in Monticello and Little
Rock recently by Athletics Director
Chris Ratcliff. Sharpe is the son of
Gary Sharpe, who coached the Boll
Weevils from 1985-91.
“UAM is excited to have Allen
Sharpe,” said Ratcliff. “He has a
strong connection to UAM and has
a great vision to where the program
needs to be.”
Sharpe, 33, spent the last five seasons (2005-10) as the head coach at
Wallace State Community College in
Hanceville, Ala., where he compiled a
record of 136-30. In the last four seasons, he led his teams to an average
of 30 wins per year (120-15) and took
his team to the top of the National
Junior College Athletic Association
(NJCAA) Top 25 poll.
Last season, Sharpe led Wallace
State to a record of 32-5, a fifth place
finish at the NJCAA National Tournament, the school’s first Alabama
Community College Conference
(ACCC) championship, the first NJCAA Region 22 title and a final No. 8
ranking.
Sharpe was named 2010 ACCC
North Division and District 12 Coach
of the Year. Additionally, he earned
ACCC North Division Coach of the
Year honors in 2007 and 2008, and
was named Birmingham Tip-Off Club
Coach of the Year in 2008.
Sharpe led his 2006-07 squad to
a 28-4 record and a No. 5 ranking in
the NJCAA Top 25 poll. In 2007-08,
he guided his team to the first undefeated regular season in the history
of the ACCC and broke the school’s
record for wins with a 32-1 mark and
Three TV Games In 2010

team finished the season with a 28-5
record and No. 21 ranking.
Prior to Wallace State, Sharpe
spent three seasons (2002-05) as the
head coach at Truett-McConnell College in Cleveland, Ga., where he led
the program to a three-year record of
70-25. He began his coaching career
with a two-year stint (2000-02) as an
assistant coach at Piedmont College
in Demorest, Ga.
Sharpe ranks 19th on the all-time
scorers list at Lipscomb University,
where he played for legendary coach
Don Meyer. He totaled 1,431 career
points from 1996-2000.
Allen Sharpe’s father, Gary, was
one of the most successful coaches
in UAM history. Gary Sharpe guided
UAM to the most memorable season
in school history, taking the 1985-86
squad to a runner-up finish at the
NAIA National Tournament while
posting a 26-10 record, still the
school mark for wins in a season.
Gary Sharpe is tied for third in the
UAM coaching records after totaling
a six-year record of 103-82.
Allen Sharpe earned a bachelor
of science degree from Lipscomb
University in 2000 and a master of
arts degree from Piedmont College in
2002.
Allen and his wife, Susan, have
three children – Garrison (6), Ally (3)

Blossoms Enjoy Record-Setting Season
A
s this issue of UAM Magazine went to press, the most successful athletic
program at the university over the last decade was enjoying an unprecedented
season of accomplishments. The Cotton Blossoms softball team completed the
regular season by winning a school-record 48 games while capturing the Gulf South
Conference western division for the seventh time in the last 11 years. UAM then
went on to win the NCAA South Regional to advance to the Super Regional at
Valdosta, Georgia, where they lost two of three to Valdosta State to end the season.
Head coach Alvy Early picked up his 500th career win on April 18, an 8-0 decision over Henderson State that clinched the GSC West title. In that game, sophomore pitcher Kayla Jackson (pictured right) threw a perfect game.
A native of Hallsville, Texas, Jackson has been a pitching and hitting star for the
Blossoms in 2010. Jackson closed the regular season with a .400 batting average
to go with nine home runs and 45 runs batted in. In the pitcher’s circle, she compiled a 25-5 record with a 1.38 earned run average and 158 strikeouts.
Jackson isn’t the only star for the ‘10 Blossoms. Senior catcher/outfielder
Becca Tipton of Monticello was batting a team-high .480 with 13 home runs and
a team-high 65 RBI. Newcomers Sarah Hayslip, a junior transfer outfielder from
Houston, was batting .380 with 58 RBI while Bentonville freshman Faith Lund
was batting .333 with 43 RBI as the designated hitter. Hayslip and Lund were
tied for the team lead in home runs with 14 each.
“We’ve had an outstanding year,” said Early, who finished the season with a
career record of 505-256-2 in 14 seasons. Early is one of three coaches in GSC history to record at least 500 wins. “What success I’ve had is a result of having good
players,” he said. “We’ve been fortunate at UAM to have been able to attract good
players who are also good students and quality individuals.”

As part of the university’s 100th birthday celebration. UAM is seeking pledges of $10,000 each to be used to create a $1 million unrestricted endowment for the UAM Foundation Fund. Earnings from this endowment will be used
on an annual basis to meet priority needs of the university. These priorities will be determined by a joint committee of
administration, faculty, and students. None of the endowment earnings will be used to augment salaries. Members of
The Centennial Circle have their names, or the names of whomever they designate, inscribed on the Centennial Clock

FOUNDATION NEWS
Hornaday Gift To Honor Faculty
D
an and Charlotte Hornaday have
always believed in the biblical adage “to whom much is given, much will
be required.”
After retiring from successful
careers as executives with Exxon
Corporation, the Hornadays began giving back to the school that helped give
them their start in life. The Hornadays
made their first gift to the University
of Arkansas at Monticello in 1992 and
since then have created eight separate
endowments.
Their ninth and latest gift to the
university establishes an endowment
which will create the Hornaday Outstanding Faculty Award. The annual
award, which includes a monetary
prize, will honor UAM’s outstanding faculty member for excellence in
teaching, research, scholarship, and
public service.
“Dan and Charlotte Hornaday
exemplify what UAM is all about,” said
Chancellor Jack Lassiter. “They came
from humble beginnings, worked hard
to build successful lives, but never
forgot their roots. Their generosity
has created a lasting legacy.”
The Hornadays met on the
Arkansas A&M campus in the
late 1940’s. Dan came to A&M
from Fordyce while Charlotte
Cruce had grown up on
campus. Her parents
owned Cruce Grocery,
a campus landmark
located on the current
site of the Red Barn.
The Hornadays
were married in
1952 and Dan
began a career in
the oil industry
while Charlotte
became a school
teacher.
NINTH GIFT Dan and
Charlotte Hornaday have
created a new endowment,
their ninth.
24
UAM MAGAZINE
Dan Hornaday climbed the corporate ladder at Exxon Corporation and
when the couple moved to Houston in
1977, Charlotte joined her husband at
Exxon.
Dan admits with a laugh that the
couple’s first gift to UAM in 1992 was
made to “get them off our backs. We
thought, this is going to cost us a little
money, but if we give it, maybe they’ll
leave us alone.”
Then came a phone call that
changed their lives.
A woman who identified herself as
the single mother of a UAM student
was calling to thank the Hornadays for
the scholarship her son had received.
“She thanked us and told us her
son could not have gone to UAM without our help,” said Dan. “That’s when
it dawned on us that we could make
a difference in the lives of a lot of
students at UAM. That lady’s call really
made an impression on us. Charlotte
and I decided, that with our company’s
matching funds, it would be a sin if
we didn’t do it.”
In the past year, 26 current
UAM students received financial help from endowments
created by the Hornadays.
“What Dan and Charlotte
have done is create real
opportunities for future
generations,” said
Lassiter. “We owe
them much.”
Hall Scholarship
A
scholarship to honor the memory
of the late Annette Hall has been
established by her husband, long-time
Monticello educator Barry Hall.
The Annette K. Hall Graduate
Studies in Education Scholarship will
be presented annually to a student
enrolled in UAM’s master of arts in
teaching program with first preference
given to students in music education.
Second preference will go to students
contracted to teach in a Drew County
school.
“This is a wonderful gift and a fitting tribute to Mrs. Hall,” said Chancellor Jack Lassiter. “She dedicated
so much of her life to helping students
succeed academically and in life. We
are grateful to Barry Hall for this most
generous donation.”
Mrs. Hall spent nearly 30 years on
the UAM faculty after coming to the
campus in 1972. She was an associate professor of music who headed
the university’s music program. She
was associate dean of the School of
Arts and Humanities at the time of her
retirement.
Mrs. Hall held a bachelor’s degree
from UAM and a master’s degree
from UA-Fayetteville.
UAM TECHNOLOGY
Hot Prospects
S
ome of the hottest programs at the UAM College of Technology-Crossett are also the programs that are producing graduates who are in the highest demand. Those programs include
electromechanical instrumentation technology, electromechanical
technology, and computer repair and networking.
Entry level salaries in these areas may run as high as $40 an
hour, according to Linda Rushing, vice chancellor for the Crossett campus. “Students in these programs are finding that their
skills are in high demand and the beginning salaries are very
good.”
The electromechanical instrumentation technology program
trains professionals in advanced industrial, electrical, mechanical, and instrumentation skills to be used in an industrial
environment. Students in the program may choose to continue
their studies and earn an associate of applied science in
industrial technology degree.
The computer repair and networking program, which
results in a certificate of proficiency, trains students for entrylevel jobs in the computer repair and networking field.
SERVER REOAUR A student at the UAM College of Technology-Crossett repairs a

It’s Hospitality
T
he Dumas Chamber of Commerce recently got a taste –
literally – of the hospitality program
being offered by the UAM College of
Technology-McGehee. Students from
the McGehee campus prepared a
meal for the Dumas Chamber as part
of their on-the-job training.
The hospitality program includes
two options – hospitality services,
which results in a technical certificate,
and hospitality skills, which culminates with a certificate of proficiency.
The technical certificate program
requires 35 hours of course work and
includes supervised internships and
work-related experiences to simulate
a real world environment.
Students who complete the program find jobs in a variety of positions
in the hospitality industry, including
restaurant, hotel and motel management.
The certificate of proficiency
program requires 15 hours of course
work and prepares students for entrylevel positions in food service and
lodging businesses.
“This has been a wonderful addition to our curriculum,” said Bob
Ware, vice chancellor of the McGehee
campus. “We have received a lot of
interest since instituting the program.
It’s just one more way to demonstrate
our commitment to providing our constituents with a variety of academic
and career opportunities.”
Persons interested in either of
the hospitality programs may call the
UAM College of Technology-McGehee at (870) 222-5360.

Reunited On Facebook
W.L. Brantley and Julie Hollar met
in 1971 in Livingston, Montana but
it took 38 years for them to finally
get together. Shortly after graduating from UAM with a degree in
music, Brantley went on tour with
Collegiate Crusade for Christ.
While on tour, he met Julie Fink,
a recent high school graduate from
Livingston. Brantley was smitten,
but when the group finished touring, Fink flew back to Montana and
she and Brantley lost touch.
Fast-forward to July 2009. Brantley’s longtime friend, Eva Austin
(UAM ‘71) encouraged Brantley
to join Facebook as a way to get in
touch with old friends. At the same
time, Julie Fink Hollar, by that time
a widow with five children, also
joined Facebook and decided to see
if she could find the members of
the Collegiate Crusade. She found
most of them, including Brantley.
Two weeks later, after a 38-year
separation as mere acquaintances
and hours burning the phone lines
across the states, Brantley proposed
and Hollar accepted. They were
married November 21, 2009, in
Crossett.
