Today, FALL/WINTER 2004 3 24 Today Today,, FALL/WINTER FALL/WINTER 2004 2004 Alumni philanthropy reaches new high Contributions by Ozarks’ alumni continued to reach new heights during the 2003-2004 fiscal year as 20.6 percent of alumni households provided philanthropic support to their alma mater. The tenth of a percent increase over the previous year marked the fourth consecutive year that alumni giving has increased at the university. “When the alumni of an institution provide strong philanthropic support to that institution, it sends a tremendously positive signal to other prospective donors,” said Executive Vice President Steve Edmisten. “Over the last four years, Ozarks’ alumni have provided a resounding vote of confidence in Ozarks through their gifts to the Annual Scholarship Fund and for other University causes. This, in turn, motivated more non-alumni donors to give, further strengthening the University. When alumni make this happen through their gifts to Ozarks, not only does the quality of the University improve dramatically, so too does the value of their degrees from Ozarks.” Annual Alumni Giving Percentages (1997-2004) 25% 20% 17.2% 17.5% 20.5% 20.6% 15% 10% 11.6% 10.2% 9.25% 5% 0% 1997-1998 1998-1999 1999-2000 2000-2001 2001-2002 2002-2003 2003-2004 A total of 761 alumni households — which includes known households consisting of at least one alumnus — gave gifts ranging from $5 to $20,000 during the 2003-2004 year. Alumni donors made up 65 percent of those who gave to Ozarks in 2003-2004. “The university’s largest group of donors is its alumni, and we are pleased to see that this group is achieving more and more,” said Director of Alumni Relations Reba Pridgin. “Each year we see new donors from our alumni base and these are people who have developed a desire to show their pride in their school, to assist a new generation of Ozarks students, to develop a new affiliation with Ozarks through giving, or to share a little of their accomplishments because Ozarks gave them the opportunity to succeed in life. Alumni are encouraged to share and to share consistently!” One new incentive for alumni this year is the Alumni Association Giving Challenge, in which the organization will match gifts up to $100 given by first-time alumni donors. Your gift to the Annual Scholarship Fund supports students like Lindsey, a senior biology major from Benton, Ark. Lindsey, whose career goal is to become a pharmacist, epitomizes the type of students who thrive at a small, Christianaffiliated liberal arts college like Ozarks. She is not only a dedicated student who has been on the honor list every semester, but she also excels on the soccer field with the Lady Eagles, sings with the University Chorus and serves as the worship leader for the Baptist Collegiate Ministries. Your support of the Annual Scholarship Fund will help empower Ozarks students like Lindsey.

Today, FALL/WINTER 2004 5 Campus News Ozarks ranked in top tier for sixth year For the sixth consecutive year the University of the Ozarks has been ranked as a “top tier” university in the U.S. News & World Report’s annual late summer publication that examines institutions of higher education. In the 2005 edition of “America’s Best Colleges,” released on Aug. 20, Ozarks was ranked in a tie for ninth overall among 106 universities in the category of Comprehensive Colleges (Bachelor’s) in the South Region. The ninth-place ranking is the highest ever for U of O, which was ranked No. 12 in the South in 2004 and No. 14 in 2003. In the annual “America’s Best Colleges” edition, U.S. News & World Report ranked more than 1,400 accredited schools nationally, based on such criteria as academic reputation, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving. In the magazine’s “Great Schools, Great Prices” category, Ozarks ranked third overall among the South’s 106 Comprehensive Colleges (Bachelor’s). Ozarks has been ranked in the South Region’s top five “Best Values” by the magazine in each of the past six years. The value rankings evaluate the cost of attending a college or university relative to the quality of the institution, according to the magazine’s ranking system. “I am pleased that the University of the Ozarks is once again recognized by U.S. News & World Report as being a top tier campus in the South Region,” said U of O President Dr. Rick Niece. “At Ozarks we continue to dedicate ourselves to providing a high-quality, personalized education for our students, and it’s satisfying to have a national publication commend our excellence. Equally gratifying is our ranking as the third best value in the South. The annual ranking and our continued high status are a tribute to everyone connected with Ozarks.” Scaccia, Weiss join university Jeff Scaccia has joined the university’s administration as chief financial officer, and Dr. Jesse Weiss has been hired as a sociology professor. Scaccia, who earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Central Arkansas and his MBA from Arkansas-Little Rock, previously worked at Lake Hamilton Enterprises in Little Rock. He replaces John Jones, who left during the summer for a position at Columbia College. Weiss, a native of Northwest Arkansas, earned his Ph.D. from Utah State University. Weiss will teach sociolgy and environmental studies.

Ozarks’ Theatre Department performed the production of “Wilde Tales.” Campus News Humanities professors become authors A lifelong interest in Native Americans was the common inspiration for two new books written by professors in Ozarks’ Humanities and Fine Arts Division. Dr. Dave Daily, assistant professor of religion, and Dr. Steve Oatis, assistant professor of history, recently became first-time authors with the publication of their scholarly books. Daily’s book, published by the University of Arizona Press, is titled, Battle for the BIA: G.E.E. Lindquist and the Missionary Crusade Against John Collier. Oatis’ book, which is published by the University of Nebraska Press is titled, A Colonial Complex: South Carolina’s Frontiers in the Era of the Yamasee War, 1680-1730. Daily’s book is about an intensely personal and high-stakes battle for control over the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the direction of federal Indian policy. Pitting G.E.E. Lindquist, an influential Protestant missionary, against John Collier, Commissioner of Indian Affairs (1933-1945), this battle ultimately changed the shape of Protestant support for Indian assimilation, according to Daily. Daily said the inspiration for the book dated back to his childhood when he and his family took vacations to Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. “The scenery was great, but learning about the Navajos and Pueblos was also fun,” said Daily. “Then, during my first year in graduate school, I took a course on religious diversity and change in the American West. The course rekindled my interest in Native American history and missions to Native Americans.” Professors and first-time authors (from left) Dr. Dave Daily and Dr. Steve Oatis. The University of Arizona Press said Daily’s “survey of Lindquist’s career raises important issues regarding tribal rights and the place of Native peoples in American society. It offers new insights into the domestic colonialism practiced by the United States as it tells of one of the great untold battles in the history of Indian affairs.” Dr. Daily, who earned his Ph.D. from Duke University, has been at Ozarks since 2000. Oatis’ book is billed as one of the first detailed studies of the conflict between an upstart British Colony in South Carolina and its Indian neighbors, most notably the Yamasees, a group whose sovereignty had become increasingly threatened. The South Carolina militia retaliated repeatedly until, by 1717, the Yamasees were nearly annihilated, and their survivors fled to Spanish Florida. The war not only sent shock waves throughout South Carolina’s government, economy, and society, but also had a profound impact on colonial and Indian cultures from the Atlantic Coast to the Mississippi River. Drawing on a diverse range of colonial records, “A Colonial Complex” builds on recent developments in frontier history and depicts the Yamasee War as part of a colonial complex: A broad pattern of exchange that linked the Southeast’s Indian, African, and European cultures throughout the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Oatis said the book is based on a dissertation that he did in his Ph.D. work at Emory College. “I've always been interested in Native American history, from the time I was a kid, and when I got to graduate school I was intrigued by all the possibilities that were out there for studying the interaction between Indians and Europeans,” said Oatis, who has been at Ozarks since 1999. “I chose to study the Yamasee War and the early history of South Carolina partly because I was going to grad school at Emory that has a strong emphasis on Southern history and partly because the historical records were relatively close by. The more I got into the project, though, the more I learned just how much there was about the topic that hadn’t been explored or discussed yet.” Taddie attends conference Dr. Daniel Taddie, Ozarks’ vice president for academic affairs and dean of faculty, recently attended the Harvard Institute for Educational Management at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. Dr. Taddie was one of 94 higher education senior leaders to attend the two-week program. The program was taught by Harvard professors as well as administrators from throughout the country. Topics included internal and external leadership, developing and working with senior leadership teams, governance, finance, assessment, campus community, innovation and change in a changing environment, technology, transformational learning, planning, vision and values. Today, FALL/WINTER 2004 7 Campus News First couple displays Southern hospitality When Ozarks President Dr. Rick Niece and his wife Sherée were interviewing for the top position at the university in the spring of 1997, they met with several graduating seniors. One of the things that stood out in those discussions was that many of those seniors had never been to the President’s Home. “We were surprised that these students had been here four or five years and had never stepped foot in the President’s Home,” Dr. Niece said. “It just didn’t make any sense to us. I think it was at that point we decided if we were to get the opportunity to come to Ozarks, we would change that.” Change it they would. In the past seven years since they have become the first couple of Ozarks, the number of guests the Nieces have hosted in their home has surpassed a whopping 18,000, many of them students. Most of the students have entered the President’s Home as part of three new traditions the Nieces began in their first year at Ozarks: New Student Dinners, Senior Dinners and the Graduating Seniors Luncheon. The Nieces’ hospitality is such a novelty that the student dinners were featured in a large, front-page article in Arkansas’ state-wide newspaper, The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, in September. The president’s 3,300-square-foot, two-story house was built in 1969 through donations by the university’s Alumni Association. “The Alumni Association built the President’s House and we feel it’s important to share the house with our current and future alumni, as well as the rest of the campus community,” Dr. Niece said. The New Student Dinners, usually held early in the Fall Semester, have brought 2,266 incoming students to the President’s Home. The dinners are usually held in groups of about 25-30 and are held in what the Nieces call “the movie room,” which is adorned with posters of some of their favorite movies such as Amadeus, Casablanca and It’s a Wonderful Life. One example of a menu at a recent dinner was London broil with steamed green beans, fried potatoes and chocolate cake. “We started the New Student Dinners Freshmen prepare to be served dinner as a way to open our at the President’s Home. home to the 8 Today, FALL/WINTER 2004 Images from the Senior Dinners, held at the President’s Home in November. students,” said Sherée. “The dinners give us an opportunity to get to know the students, learn their names, and to hear something about each of them. At the same time, they learn about us in a more personal, interactive and relaxed setting.” Students are often surprised to see the university’s president going from table to table refilling glasses of tea or offering coffee to the guests. “By opening our home to the students and to the Ozarks’ community, we are able to model our strong sense of service to others,” said Sherée. “We want students to understand that serving others is a privilege.” Senior Dinners, held in November each academic year, are a time for the Nieces to thank the seniors for sharing their college years with them. “We enjoy watching students grow and develop interests as they pursue their studies,” Sherée said. “We also even remember where many of the seniors sat during their New Student Dinners. In many ways, they have become our children during their stay at Ozarks. By having them in our home near the completion of their education, we learn about their hopes and dreams for the future.” The Alumni Office uses the Senior Dinners and the Graduating Senior Luncheon in the spring to inform the seniors about their new status as U of O alumni and to welcome them as the newest chapter in Ozarks’ history. “Seniors typically find these dinners as an opportunity to reminisce about the times we all shared at Ozarks,” Dr. Niece said. “Many feel sad at the thought of leaving Ozarks upon graduation.” Campus News Campus stages own debate in midst of political season Linda Grace Carcamo 1978-2003 As the nation’s presidential election heated up in the fall, the campus community got into the spirit of the political season by staging its own presidential debate. On Oct. 6, a student presidential debate was held on campus in front of a large and spirited group of students. The program consisted of a formal debate, followed by a question-and-answer stage from the audience. The moderator was political science professor Dr. Stewart Dippel. The debate panelists were divided as liberal and conservative, instead of Democrat and Republican. “Over one-third of the country is independent or undecided for this year’s election, and even after the election is over this country will still face the same issues,” Dippel told the crowd. The panelists for the liberal side were Adam Ivy, a junior political science major from Mountain View, Ark., and Robert Hines, a junior political science and international economics major from Little Rock. The panelists for the conservative side were Elizabeth Drye and David Ray. Drye is a senior political science major from Sheridan, Ark., and Ray is a freshman political science major from Brighton, Tenn. During the formal debate, each side was allowed three minutes to respond to the question and to the opposing side’s response. Some of the issues touched on included the War on Terror, a free Iraq, the possibility of the draft being reinstated, the country’s debt, homeland security, environmental issues, the Patriot Act and social security. The panelists also stated what they envision for America over the next 20 years. Some of the issues raised by the audience were homosexual marriages, outsourcing jobs and farming. There were not enough chairs in the house for the number of students during 52 Students who took part in the political debate included (from left) Elizabeth Drye, David Ray, Robert Hines and Adam Ivy. the event. The students took the debate very seriously, showing up with stickers and signs to show their support. “The signs were fabulous,” said Hines. “The debate was fun, and it encouraged and persuaded students to vote at this election.” “The signs were awesome,” said Drye. “I was surprised and pleased with the size of the crowd. It proved the students do care and are politically active. We are a generation that is active and do care about this country.” Ray shared the same pride. “It’s great that such a large number of students are interested in the issues that affect our country,” he said. “I think the debate went extremely well,” Ivy said. “The turnout was the best thing about the debate. We had over 150 people at the debate.” Ivy believes that the debate helped individuals become more involved in politics and the election. “It is up to us to decide the nation’s future,” Ivy said. “We cannot just sit on the sidelines.” Dippel said he was impressed with how prepared the panelists were. “The American people could learn just as much about the issues by watching our student debate as they could if they’d watched the presidential debate,” Dippel said. “The quality of the student debate was high and the substance was on the same level.” Percent of majors completed at Ozarks since 2003 that were from the Division of Business, Communications and Government, followed by the divisions of Math and Science (20%), Humanities and Fine Arts (11%), Education (10%) and General Studies (7%). 62,000 Estimated number of visitors to the university’s Robson Library during the 2003-04 academic year.

Today, FALL/WINTER 2004 9 Campus News Campus community lends helping hand When the Clarksville Housing Authority (CHA) lost one of its main suppliers of donated foods for its tenants last summer, the university community stepped in to fill the void. CHA, which serves almost 100 households in the area, was notified last spring that its main supplier of nonperishable food items, ARVAC, would no longer be able to supply certain items, including soups, canned meat, fruit and cereal. Ozarks’ Critical Inquiry (CI) program — which includes a required first-semester class for new students to help them get acclimated to college life — came to the rescue of the CHA food pantry by sponsoring a semester-long food drive that yielded numerous bags of food and other items. The genesis of the efforts in helping CHA came about from Dr. Sharon Gorman’s CI class. Gorman, professor of music and university organist, also serves as the campus coordinator for the CI program. Gorman’s CI course syllabus states that the class mission is to “look closely at how we, as individuals and as a group, can make a difference in the world.” “When we heard that there was a Dr. Sharon Gorman (right) and her Critical Inquiry class display some of the bags of food they helped gather for the Clarksville Housing Authority. 10 Today, FALL/WINTER 2004 U of O students perform karaoke to entertain the tenants during the CHA Fall Harvest Social. (Photos courtesy of CHA). need, the students in my class agreed to sponsor a food drive on campus,” said Gorman. “A big part of the CI class is learning the importance of becoming involved in community service activities, and this is exactly the type of effort that can help make a difference. We felt like it was a good way to get the entire campus involved in the effort.” Lucia Gomez, a sophomore from Nicaragua, was one of the students who helped coordinate the food drive. “We heard that oftentimes the elderly have to choose between medicine and food and that really touched us,” Gomez said. “We put up posters and signs around campus and sent out e-mails to get food. Everyone on campus really supported and helped out in the project. It’s been a memorable experience.” The campus community donated food items such as pasta, cereal, rice, canned soups and fruits and peanut butter, as well as other items like shampoo, toothpaste and lotion. In addition, CI classes volunteered their time to CHA in other areas, including decorating and preparing food trays for tenant functions, sweeping and cleaning porch areas at elderly/handicapped units, weeding flower beds, raking leaves and trimming hedges. Ozarks students even provided entertainment at some of the CHA functions. “The Clarksville Housing Authority has been very fortunate to have received help from Ozarks students this fall,” said CHA Executive Director Metta Holman. “We were named the Arkansas National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials’ 2004 Agency of the Year in September. This award was obtained largely due to our community outreach activities and food bank. “We appreciate the continued support of our program and its goals by University of the Ozarks’ faculty, staff and students.” Campus News Eagles & Lady Eagles 2004-05 Basketball Schedule U of O basketball players and brothers Brent and Brad Johnson have grown accustomed to playing basketball together for years, but this season is different. It is their final opportunity to compete together, and both want to make the most of it. “We definitely want to go to the conference post-season tournament,” said Brent, the older of the two. “I would like to finish my senior season winning the tournament, and we’d like to have the chance to do that together.” The Johnsons, who are expected to be the starting backcourt for the Eagles this season, grew up in Ozark, Ark., and were known as hard-nosed, competitive players on the court at Ozark High School. That competitive spirit has continued with them in college. Sister Lacey was an honorable-mention allconference player for Ozarks in 2001. “We are all very competitive,” said Brad. “It was always a battle between us when we were kids. We’ve played basketball ever since we were big enough to shoot a ball towards the hoop. Playing games against each other in the backyard are some of the most memorable times I’ve had with Brent.” Following all-state high school careers, the Johnsons have found success in college as well. Brent, a 6-2 shooting guard, missed all of the 2002-2003 season with a knee injury but bounced back last year to be named an American Southwest Conference All-East Division first-team member. A solid outside shooter who also likes to drive hard to the basket, Brent averaged a team-high 15.4 points a game last year and led the team in three-pointers with 48. He is closing in on 1,000 career points. He is also one of the team's top defenders as evidenced by his team-high 45 steals last year. Brad, a quick 5-10 junior point guard, has been a floor-leader and defensive standout, ranking among the top assists and steal leaders in the ASC the past two seasons. He averaged 3.2 points last season and has 136 assists the past two years. “They really help set the tone of our team,” said head coach Matt O’Connor. “They work hard in practice every day and their toughness and competitiveness are seen by the entire team. They are close, and they support each other in everything they do. You can tell there’s a real bond there.” Hard work is something the brothers take tremendous pride in. “Nothing comes easy and that’s what we’ve been taught all of our life,” said Brent, a physical education major who would like to go into coaching when he graduates. “We knew nothing would ever be given to us, so we’ve had to work for it. Learning to work hard at a young age has really helped us.” Led by the Johnsons and a bevy of returning guards such as Caleb Hilton, Josh Joyner, Jacob Sibley and Scott McCall, the Eagles are expected to use a fast-paced, uptempo style to improve on last year’s record of 11-14 overall and 86 in the ASC. In the preseason coaches’ poll, Ozarks was picked to finish fourth in the eight-team ASC East Division.

Stutz, who came to Ozarks after a four-year stint as an assistant coach at Ashland University in Ohio, replaces Jack Jones, who stepped down last spring after 25 seasons at the college. The Lady Eagles do not return a starter from last season and have just one senior. They do, however, return five quality lettermen. Guard play should be the strength of the squad with experienced shooters in Lori Moon, Lindsey Nietert, Erica Newell, Becky Kimball and DeAnna Miller. Freshman guards Karen Garcia and Erica Eneks should also contribute. The Lady Eagles’ inside strength will depend on the play of returner Jeanne Randall and freshman Olivia Fisher. Today, FALL/WINTER 2004 11 Sixty years ago the Ozarks campus moved off College Hill and into the First Presbyterian Church in Clarksville after the U.S. Navy took over the college for a training program M argaret (Wright) French Biazo remembers how exciting it was to watch a new class of U.S. Navy men get off the train in downtown Clarksville and march up College Hill to a campus that had been transformed from a place of higher education to a naval training facility. “We knew exactly when they would arrive each week and we’d make sure to be out there,” said French. “It was just not the sort of thing we were used to seeing in Clarksville.” It was sixty years ago that the U.S. Navy took over what was then The College of the Ozarks for a program called elementary electricity and radio materiel electronics (EE & RM School) training. In actuality, it was early radar training. The entire college, which then had about 150 students, was moved down the hill to the Presbyterian Church. During the height of World War II, the Ozarks campus played a significant role in helping the country’s war efforts by giving the U.S. Navy full control of the university’s facilities to run its training program. The Navy occupied the Ozarks campus from January 1944 to April of 1945. Biazo ended up meeting a young Navy recruit from Kingsville, Texas, Robert French, at a Sunday afternoon social in 1945. They were married six months later and were together for 52 years before he passed away in 1997. “We became acquainted with the Navy men when they would come to visit us,” said Biazo, who remarried in 2003 and is living in Springdale, Ark. “Friendships were made, in which many cases led to lasting relationships.” Professor and historian Dr. Raymond Watson of Huntsville, Ala., has done extensive research on the Navy program, 12 Today, FALL/WINTER 2004 which was officially called Radio Materiel Training School. According to Watson, “radio” was a cover for “radar,” which was still secret and in its early stages at the time. Initiated in January 1942, immediately after Pearl Harbor, EE & RM School was considered the most difficult training program for enlisted personnel offered during the war. “It was said that the average IQ of successful students in the program exceeded that of graduates from Harvard, MIT and similar schools,” said Watson. Entrance to the program was through the Eddy Test, which had about a 25 percent pass record. Those passing the Eddy Test first attended a one-month pre-radio school (offered at several junior colleges in Chicago) that had about a 50 percent passing rate. From there, they went to one of eight Primary Schools located around the country. The Primary Schools consisted of a three-month training period and had a pass rate of about 70 percent. The training program at Ozarks was originally at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., but transferred to Ozarks in Margaret (Wright) January 1944, according to Watson. French Biazo met In addition to Ozarks, Primary late husband Robert Schools were located at Oklahoma French while he A&M; University of Houston; Grove was stationed at City College in Pennsylvania; Bliss Ozarks. Electrical School in Maryland; Utah State; Dearborn, Mich.; and Monterey, Calif. Those making it through Primary School then went to Secondary School, a six-month activity at one of four locations — three for ship equipment and one for aircraft systems. Attendees at the EE & RM schools were Navy, Marine and Coast Guard enlisted men. The instructors were mainly Navy and Marine personnel, usually with civilian teaching experience. One of the instructors at Ozarks was a Marine named Frank Genochio, who later served in the South Pacific where he was instrumental in establishing the “Navaho Code Talkers,” made famous in the 2002 film Windtalkers. Weekday classes ran nine hours, with a required study period in the evenings. Saturday mornings were for examinations. John Westkaemper of Austin, Texas, a retired engineering professor, was part of the training program’s last class at Ozarks. He recalls the classes covering such topics as electrical theory, principles of vacuum tubes and the operation of various circuits using those tubes. “Navy life picked up dramatically when I arrived in Clarksville,” Westkaemper said. “The location was attractive, the duties weren’t onerous, the people were pleasant and the weather was nice. We were given liberty on weekends, and because Clarksville was small and didn’t have any beer joints, we soon learned that Russellville was more exciting. We spent a lot of weekends in Russellville.” College officials learned that the Navy would take over the campus in early December of 1943. In a span of about three weeks, the college set up shop at the Presbyterian Church, complete with administrative offices, library, labs and classrooms. In a 1944 article for School and Society journal, Richard Armour wrote about the Ozarks’ frantic efforts to move the campus: In January of 1945, the entire university moved down the hill to the First Presbyterian Church. Instructors in the U.S. Navy Radio Materiel Training School pose for a photo in front of Munger Chapel in 1945. “There was work to be done. Partitions and plastering had to be thrown up to subdivide the two large Sundayschool departments into eight reasonably soundproof classrooms. College cafeteria equipment had to be transferred to the church kitchen. All the educational paraphernalia, including laboratory equipment and 15,000 books, had to be brought down the hill to the church. … President, dean, faculty members and students went to work with a zest and energy that amazed even themselves … The decision to move was made on December 9. On January 5, college classes began in the new location … The months went by. The naval school grew to 1,000, graduating a class of 100 each week. The college settled down to its routine. Students accepted their new surroundings and cheerfully went to church every day. “When the war is over,” they said quietly, “we shall go back up on the hill.” While classes were held in the various rooms, including the sanctuary, of the First Presbyterian Church, many of the college’s female students were housed in the church’s adjoining Manse, a house of 12 to 14 rooms. “There were probably 40 or 50 of us crowded into that house; four or six to a room” said Helen McElree, a 1947 Ozarks graduate who lives in Fayetteville, Ark. “It sure made it difficult to find time to get a shower with that many girls living in the house.” Watson estimates that a total of about 30,000 men went through the entire EE & RM program, of which about 3,000 (or 10 percent) were stationed at the Ozarks campus at one time. If, as some historians say, radar helped win world World War II, then Ozarks played a small role. “This (radar) training, its creative originators, and the students involved deserve recognition in modern history,” Watson said. The college’s only profit from the U.S. Navy during the period was in the rental of the facilities, which totaled $1,100 a month. But even that did not cover the inconvenience and cost the college incurred in setting up temporary accommodations. However, as the college Board of Trustees minutes from June 1, 1945 so succinctly record, the true benefit was the college’s “satisfaction in serving the country.” Today, FALL/WINTER 2004 13 alumni news Cole, Rowe, Ehren tabbed for honors Alumnus Dr. Frank M.

Continued on Page 14 Dr. Charles Liston has proven that a career as a research aquatic scientist can be an exciting and fulfilling profession. Liston, a 1965 Ozarks graduate, retired in November after a 15-year career with the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation, an agency whose mission is to manage, develop and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public. Working out of an office in Denver as well as a home office in Kentucky, Liston directed, coordinated and applied fisheries research and technology development for numerous water projects throughout the Western United States. Over the past 20 years he has been considered one of the country’s leading experts on how water development projects such as dams and hydropower plants affect the environment, especially fish. “It really has been a rewarding and enjoyable career,” said Liston, who served as student government president at Ozarks in 1965. “I’ve had the opportunity to raft the Grand Canyon and other rivers in the West, hike all over Wyoming, Montana, Arizona and help make a difference for the environment. It’s been wonderful.” Liston, an Illinois native who came to Ozarks through a connection with the Presbyterian Church, said an early interest in science and the outdoors blossomed at Ozarks. “Professors like Ruby Reynolds made the subject matter very interesting, and the location of the university made it easy to go hiking or fishing all the time,” he said. After earning graduate degrees from the University of Arkansas and the University of Louisville, Liston Dr. Charles Liston as student government president at Ozarks in 1965 (left) and at his recent retirement party (below) from the Bureau of Reclamation. went on to an 18-year stint as a professor in Michigan State University’s Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. While at MSU, he began research on hydropower effects on Lake Michigan’s fish, an expertise that would lead the U.S. Government to come courting him in the late 1980s. Despite what seems like a very focused and specialized career, Liston believes his liberal arts training at Ozarks has helped make his life more balanced. “I really treasure the education I received at Ozarks because it was broad, and it allowed me to dabble in a lot of different areas,” he said. “I think a lot of colleges are getting too focused in subject matter. I have an interest in a lot of different subjects and love to read different books. I got a lot of that from Ozarks.” Liston, who has been married to his wife Elizabeth for more than 30 years, will continue to do advisory work within the profession as well as community volunteering.

Alaska community honors Ward ’48 Doris Owen Ward has always had a sense of adventure about her, so it’s little surprise that she has ended up making a difference in a small community in Alaska. Ward, a 1948 Ozarks graduate, has lived in Haines, Alaska, since 1965, moving there to teach high school English almost 40 years ago. Haines is a picturesque community of about 2,000 people situated on the upper end of the Inside Passage in southeast Alaska. The community, in an area known as the Valley of the Eagles, is surrounded by snowcapped mountains, lush meadows and dense forests. “When I got off the ferry, I think my mouth was agape for the first couple of days,” said Ward, who grew up in Beebe, Ark. “The funny thing is that I didn’t really care for the cold. But, needless to say, I got used to it.” Retired since the mid-1970s, Ward has turned her energies in the last quarter of a century toward community service in Haines, volunteering her time and resources in such areas as the library, museum, Presbyterian Church and the schools. She has made such an impact on the small community that she was honored on June 13 with a surprise reception declaring it as Doris Owen Ward Appreciation Day. The celebration, held in an impressive new community library, was attended by numerous people in the community, including the mayor. The highlight of the event was the announcement that the library’s community room would be named the Doris Owen Ward Community Room. “I was completely bowled over by all of it,” said Ward. “It was a big surprise and a great honor, especially the naming of the community room. I just couldn’t get over it.” Ward said growing up in rural Arkansas, she always had an urge “to Lloyd Goodwin, Guard (1932-35) Doris Owen Ward see what was out there in the world.” The Clarksville native was a standout lineman Alaska, helped with high school captain for Mountaineer teams of She caught a Greyhound Bus with a and team 1934 and 1935 that went a combined 12-4-2 alumni events and volunteered at the friend right after high school to visit and outscored theirChurch. opponents 357-102.
