UAM Magazine Summer 2013 - UAM's 51st Distinguished Alumnus

From the Chancellor
For those of us in higher education, summer is a time
to reflect on the just completed academic year, recharge our batteries and look ahead
to the challenges and opportunities awaiting as we prepare to welcome a new group of
students to campus. The past year has had many points of pride for the institution. Our
jazz band performed at the renowned Elmhurst Jazz Festival in Chicago and has been
invited to play in China in 2014. Construction continues on the renovation of Bankston
Hall, which will both enlarge and modernize that facility while creating the suite-style
living experience demanded by today’s students. You can see photos
of the construction elsewhere in this magazine and we will post photos
regularly throughout the summer on the UAM News Facebook site.
We bid goodbye to three long-time faculty members – Dr. Richard
Corby, Charlotte Denton, and Dr. Gary Marshall – who retired in May
with a combined 73 years service to the University. We also enjoyed a
renaissance of the baseball team as the Boll Weevils won 32 games and
reached the championship game of the Great American Conference
tournament. May brought commencement and a record number of
students receiving degrees.
Much has been written and said about the just completed session of
the Arkansas General Assembly and I want to commend the members of the Southeast
Legislative Delegation – State Senator Eddie Cheatham of Crossett and State Representatives
Sheilla Lampkin of Monticello, Mike Holcomb of Pine Bluff, Mark McElroy of Tillar,
and Jeff Wardlaw of Warren – for their tireless efforts on behalf of this institution. Thanks
to their hard work, UAM will receive $1 million in general improvement funds for onetime
purchases of equipment and technology for classrooms and minor maintenance
and construction on facilities. We are also scheduled to receive $300,000 in general
improvement funds to be used for repair and renovation of one of our most cherished
landmarks, the Music Building. The funds are restricted for this use only and although it
will not allow for a total remodel, we will be able to address critical maintenance needs
that have made it impossible to use the Harris Recital Hall for the past year.
As we look ahead to the coming year, we are excited about the expansion of our
online degree offerings, including our new Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing and
our Master’s in Physical Education and Coaching.
If you get a chance, join us June 18 at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock to
watch the Arkansas Travelers and make plans to join fellow alumni on a once-in-lifetime
tour of Italy in November. Contact the alumni office for details.
As always, my door is open.

CCN Partnership
T
he University of Arkansas at
Monticello has entered into a
partnership with the College Central
Network to help current students and
alumni to better connect with potential
employers.
CCN allows UAM students and
alumni to register and create their own
online profiles while offering a number
of services, including assistance with
the creation of resumes and online
portfolios to showcase work samples
and achievements to potential employers.
CCN offers a “Job Search Agent”
that matches job opportunities with
interests. The network also provides
the ability to track resume submissions,
referrals and requests, and to access job
search and career development articles,
documents, podcasts and videos.
“College Central Network is a
powerful resource that will allow our
current students and graduates to access
job information and further their
careers,” said Laura Hughes, director of
counseling, testing and career services
at UAM. “ This partnership also benefits
the university by improving our relationships
with business and industry, providing
improved access and communication
with alumni, and by providing a stateof-the-art
job search resource that is
attractive to prospective students and
their parents.”
The partnership with CCN will allow
UAM’s Office of Career Services to
tweet announcements and events to job
seekers, contact an unlimited number of
students, alumni and employers by email
and the capability to download student,
alumni, and employer contact data.
According to Hughes, CCN offers
a number of benefits to employers, including
secure access to post unlimited
jobs at no cost, secure access to search
resumes and portfolios of target candidates,
the opportunity to recruit qualified
candidates easily and quickly at no
cost, and the ability to manage job postings
and re-posting of jobs. Prospective
employers may access these services by
logging on to www.collegecentral.com/
uamont.
“In today’s highly competitive job
market, our students and graduates
need every advantage available to them,”
said UAM Chancellor Jack Lassiter. “The
College Central Network is a wonderful
tool that should be of great benefit
to our students, our alumni, and to the
institution as well.”

Bankston Renovation
Hall Renovation
ankston Hall will have a whole new
look when students return to the Uni-
Bversity of Arkansas at Monticello campus
in August.
Constructed in 1968 as a men’s residence
hall in traditional dormitory style,
the new Bankston will be a coeducational
facility with suite-style bathrooms to meet
the expectations of the next generation of
students.
“This entire project is about what our
students want and need,” said Scott Kuttenkuler,
director of residence life. “The
days of traditional dormitories with community
bathrooms and showers are a thing
of the past.”
Constructions crews are currently
working to make both the substantive
and cosmetic changes to the structure
with much of the modular construction
being completed off site to speed up the
process and insure the building will be
ready to occupy at the beginning of the
fall semester, according to Kuttenkuler.

Brown are measuring the reaction of
comic book readers to comics featuring
racial and ethnic minorities to determine
whether the use of stereotypes
prevents identification with those characters
across racial lines. This is part of
Saulsberry’s ongoing research on the
depiction and impact of race and ethnicity
in mainstream media, and Brown’s
work applying theories of “otherization”
and dehumanization to various topics in
popular culture.
In addition to UAM faculty, undergraduate
students presented work to

which examines theories such as
“specieism,” “otherization,” and degradation
as being precursors to genocide
in the popular British science fiction
show, Doctor Who.
Elizabeth Borse, a senior art major
from Monticello, presented “We Kill

Distinguished Alumnus
John Lipton has dedicated much of his life to
making Arkansas a better place.
Public
Servant
J
ohn Lipton’s influence on public policy in Arkansas
can be seen and felt all over the state.
Elected to 12 consecutive terms in the Arkansas
House of Representatives, Lipton is a former Speaker
of the House and was once one of the most powerful
members of the General Assembly. He is a former
chairman of the Arkansas Highway Commission,
friend and confidante of governors, senators and a
President of the United States.
It was Lipton who brought the
Southeast Arkansas Community-
Based Education Center and the
Southeast Arkansas Human Development
Center to Warren. It was Lipton
who was instrumental in the construction
of a bridge over Moro Bay that
bears his name. It was Lipton who
helped secure federal highway designations
for U.S. 278 and U.S. 63 as well
as the continuation of Interstate 530
south to eventually serve as a connector
to Interstate 69.
And it was Lipton, along with
Rodney Slater, the late Jerry Bookout,
and then-Governor Bill Clinton, who
turned a four-hour meeting at the
Capitol Hotel in Little Rock into the
creation of the Arkansas Academic
Challenge Scholarship Program.
For his accomplishments in public
service, Lipton has been named the
51st Distinguished Alumnus of the
University of Arkansas at Monticello.
The award is the third bestowed on
Lipton by his alma mater and when
UAM Chancellor Jack Lassiter called
to tell him about the latest honor, Lipton
wondered if someone had made a
mistake. “I said, Jack, I’ve already got
two awards from UAM,” Lipton says.

Distinguished Alumnus
“He said, you don’t have
this one.”
The walls of both
Lipton’s home and office in
Warren are covered with
awards and plaques, a testament
to more than 40 years
of public service. Lipton has
spent his entire life in the
small Bradley County town
known for producing what
locals insist are the world’s
best-tasting tomatoes and
outstanding high school
football teams.
Lipton was a part of the
Warren Lumberjack football
legacy playing alongside
future UAM stars Charley
Fred Dearman and John
Wayne Gibson. He graduated
from Warren High in
1954 and initially attended
Arkansas Tech, hoping to
play basketball for the Wonder
Boys. But his primary interest was
having a good time.
“I was a party boy and it caught up
with me,” Lipton admits, smiling at
the memory. Lipton was injured early
in his first semester at Tech, and when
Dearman, his high school buddy,
decided to leave Russellville and head
to Arkansas A&M, Lipton wanted to
follow. His father wouldn’t let him.
“I called Dad and told him Charley
Fred was transferring to A&M and I
said I think I’d like to come back too,”
Lipton says. “I’ll never forget what he
said. He asked me, ‘What did you tell
those folks’ I said I told them I would
stay for the rest of the year and he said
that’s what you’re going to do. I didn’t
argue with my Dad.”
Lipton got a reprieve at the end of
his freshman year, but not without
another object lesson from his father,
who made him work six months on
the night shift at a local sawmill. “He
got my attention,” Lipton remembers.
“He said you get your act together
and I’ll help you go back to college.”
Lipton eventually enrolled at what
was then Arkansas A&M and graduated
in 1959 with a degree in business
after what he calls a less than
stellar academic career. Along the
way he met his future wife, JeNelle,
at a Warren skating rink and the two
were married on September 27, 1957.
When asked if it was love at first sight,
Lipton smiles and says “pretty close.”
Lipton worked briefly for International
Paper but had always wanted
to be his own boss so he returned to
A&M with plans to become a doctor,
enrolling in a heavy course load of biology
and chemistry classes.
His primary instructor was
Dr. Wilburn C. Hobgood,
who had been at the school
since 1931 and was regarded
as one of the toughest professors
on campus.
“A lot of people thought
I was crazy,” says Lipton.
“They were scared of him,
but my transcript under him
was a lot better than it was
before.”
Lipton’s plans got
sidetracked when his family
began to grow and he realized
he couldn’t support a
wife and children for the
time it would take to complete
medical school. He
considered teaching but was
discouraged by the earning
potential and, after another
short stint at International
Paper, followed his dream to
go into business for himself.
With the help and encouragement
of his father-in-law, J. J. Neal, Lipton
started an LP gas company, then
added a wholesale oil distributorship,
both highly successful.
In 1966, Lipton worked for David
Pryor’s first successful congressional
campaign and after Pryor was elected,
he encouraged Lipton to consider
running for the Arkansas House of
Representatives.
Lipton won a three-man Democratic
primary in 1968 without a
run-off, at the time tantamount to a
general election, and was sworn in to
office in January 1969. Over the next
24 years, Lipton served the House as
chair of the Joint Legislative Auditing
Committee, co-chair of the Joint
Performance Review Committee,

the Arkansas Science and Technology
Authority, the largest highway program
in the state’s history, and massive
education reform. That session is
immortalized at the Capitol with a
bronze plaque calling it “The Education
Session.”
A passionate advocate for vocational-technical
education, Lipton
was appointed to a three-year term
on the 21-member National Advisory
Council in Vocational Education by
President Carter in 1979.
By early January 1993, Bill Clinton
was President-elect and Lipton was
starting his final year in the legislature.
“I was burned out,” he says. “I
wasn’t term-limited. I could still go
back if I wanted to, but I don’t,” he
quickly adds.
When Clinton met with Lipton
“. . . I think the good Lord will call me home when He’s
ready for me. Until He does, and I’m able, I’m going to be
out there, hopefully making some form of contribution.”
shortly before going to Washington,
he had already named Lipton
and Bookout as the co-chairs of the
Democratic Leadership Conference,
a conservative to moderate alternative
to the liberal Democratic National
Conference. “President Clinton asked
me what I wanted to do once my
term in the House was over,” Lipton
remembers. “I said I didn’t want to
leave Arkansas and I thought the best
way to help my part of the state would
be on the highway commission. There
was a position coming open and he
said if you want it, it’s yours.”
Lipton was officially appointed to
the commission by Clinton’s successor
as Governor, Jim Guy Tucker, in 1993.
He served 10 years, including two as
chair.
At 77 with three children and five
grandchildren, Lipton still maintains a
schedule that might exhaust someone
20 years younger. He is the current
chair of the Southeast Arkansas
Regional Intermodal Authority and
a member of the Southeast Arkansas
Cornerstone Coalition. Through the
years, he has served on more boards
and commissions than he can keep
track of and is still actively involved
in shaping public policy, serving as a
liaison between the Governor’s office
and the legislature at the just-completed
session. He was at the Capitol by
6 a.m., grading bills at 7:00, then off
to committee meetings and by 1:30,
was sitting at his designated seat at the
back of the Senate chamber.
The thought of slowing down never
seems to occur to him. “It’s just not
in my nature,” Lipton says. “I don’t
think it was meant to be that way. I
think the good Lord will call me home
when He’s ready for me. Until he
does, and I’m able, I’m going to be out
there, hopefully making some form of
contribution.”
Whatever that contribution is,
Arkansas will be better for it.

MFA in Creative Writing
Cliff Gibson loves his cattle and fishing on his
400-acre spread north of Monticello, but he’s also a
successful attorney and the newest member of the
University of Arkansas Board of Trustees.
More Than
Just A Small
Town Lawyer

UAM MAGAZINE

UA Board of Trustees
ut for severe allergies, Charles Clifford Gibson, III
might be a gentleman farmer rather than a successful
attorney. Gibson, “Cliff” to his friends, is
the newest member of the University of Arkansas
Board of Trustees. He was appointed in March to Ba 10-year term on the board by Governor Mike Beebe.
A member of one of southeast
Arkansas’ most prominent families,
Gibson has practiced law in Monticello
since 1981 and is the senior partner
of the Gibson & Keith Law Firm. But
farming, and the rural life, have always
been his first loves.
“I had a chance to join a pretty
prestigious Little Rock law firm when I
finished law school, but I just couldn’t
live in Little Rock and told them so,”
Gibson says. “I love southeast Arkansas.
I love the people, the pace, the
lifestyle and the rural quality of the
area. This is where I wanted to be.”
Gibson’s roots are in the delta,
where his father, Charles Gibson,
Jr., owned a large farming operation
in Drew and Chicot Counties. Cliff
came to the University of Arkansas at
Monticello to study agribusiness, but
after two years at UAM, he decided
to leave school to begin his career as a
farmer on the family farm near Jerome.
“I guess you could also say I had gotten
a little too involved in campus life and
was having way too much fun to focus
on study,” he says.
Gibson’s parents convinced him to
go back to school, this time at Mississippi
State, where he completed his
undergraduate degree.
After graduating from Mississippi
State, Gibson returned to the family
farm, but his allergies to cotton dust
and the dust created by the harvesting
of rice and soybeans finally caught
up with him. “I was taking medicine
for my allergies, but one day I just
collapsed,” he remembers. “They
carried me to the hospital and Dr. T.
C. Wilson gave me a shot of straight
adrenaline. That’s when I realized that
the doctors were right about me not
being able to have a career in row-crop
farming.”
Seeking advice, Gibson turned to
his uncle, long-time Arkansas legislator
John Frank “Mutt” Gibson. “I asked
Uncle Mutt what he thought of me
going to law school,” Gibson says. “He’s
the one who encouraged me to study
law.”
Gibson was accepted to law school
at the University of Arkansas at Little
Rock where he was selected to serve
on the editorial board of the UALR
Law Journal. After receiving his Juris
Doctorate degree and passing the bar
examination in 1981, Gibson opened a
private law practice at 119 South Main
Street in Monticello where he continues
to practice today.
Gibson sometimes refers to himself
as “just a small-town lawyer,” but in
more than 30 years of practice, he has
amassed an impressive list of honors
and accomplishments too lengthy to
name them all. Among the highlights
are four gubernatorial appointments
to serve as a Special Justice of the
Arkansas Supreme Court. He presently
serves as the County Attorney of Drew
County and is a former Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney for the 10th Judicial
District. He also taught business law
at UAM and is admitted to practice
before the U.S. Supreme Court, the
U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals,
the U.S. Courts for both the Eastern
and Western Districts of Arkansas, the
Arkansas Supreme Court, Arkansas
Court of Appeals, and all Circuit and
lower Courts of Arkansas.
Active in community affairs, Gibson
is a former director and president of the
Monticello-Drew County Chamber of
Commerce and the Monticello Economic
Development Commission. He
donated his legal services to help create
the Economic Development Fund of
Monticello (also known as Twenty for
the Future), the Drew County Community
Council, the Drew County War On
Drugs Core Group, the Drew County
Veteran’s Association, and the Drew
County Peace Officers Association.
Gibson may be a small town lawyer,
but his heart has never left the farm.
He leases a farm operation in Chicot
County and he and his wife, Lisa, live
on 400 acres north of Monticello, surrounded
by lush pasture and timberland.
Cattle graze around a farm pond
and the Gibsons’ house is fronted by a
pond stocked with bream, crappie and
bass. Gibson goes there after a stressful
day at the office to fish and unwind.
Gibson sees his appointment to
the UA Board of Trustees as a way to
“promote a better future for the young
people of our state. And that future begins
with education. That’s why UAM
is so important to southeast Arkansas.
It’s a doorway to obtain the benefits
of a higher education. If it wasn’t for
UAM, I suspect that many in this region
would never have a chance to have
the better and more prosperous life that
higher education brings.”

AGATE Teacher of the Year
A passion for
Teaching
A
manda Abbott Ware is passionate about her work.
Good teachers usually are.
Amanda (Mandy to her long-time
friends) is the gifted and talented facilitator
for grades K-5 at Indian Hills
Elementary School in North Little
Rock. She is also the Association of
Gifted and Talented Education’s 2013
Educator of the Year.
A 1984 UAM graduate, Ware has
been a teacher for 27 years, 24 at Indian
Hills. From 8:30 to 2:30 five days
a week, she directs a pull-out program
for children identified as gifted and
talented. Ware tests every student at
Indian Hills to determine who qualifies
for the program and those students
are pulled out of their regular classes
for additional learning opportunities.
She sees as few as seven and
as many as 25 children at a time,
depending on their grade, teaching
them to solve problems, work together,
and be leaders. The whole process is a
labor of love. “It’s my job to push these
kids to think at a higher level,” Ware
explains, “to take risks, to try things
they’re not comfortable with. This is
what I was meant to do.”
She didn’t always feel that way.
When Ware left Pine Bluff High
School for the University of Arkansas
at Fayetteville, her career goal was to
be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. “I
was majoring in cheerleading,” says
Ware, whose blonde hair, easy smile
and infectious laugh still fit the role. “I
had pledged a sorority and was having
a blast.”
That lasted for a semester before she
ended up back in Pine Bluff. Her father,
Bob Abbott, had always encouraged
his daughter to get a degree but
didn’t think that was going to happen
at Fayetteville. He suggested she attend
UAM, a school Amanda didn’t
know existed. “He said ‘You gotta go
somewhere’ and suggested UAM,” she
says. “Here I was from Pine Bluff and
I had no idea there was a university
down there.”
Ware and her father went to
Monticello to visit the campus with
the idea that she would attend for one
semester, then return to Fayetteville.
But Ware found the small campus to
her liking and plunged headlong into
campus life. She became a Boll Weevil
cheerleader and in 1982 was named
Homecoming Queen. “I fell in love
wth UAM,” she remembers, “with
the people, the environment. It was
everything I wanted and needed. I felt
like I was home.”
Still unable to decide on a career,
Ware thought about special education
and began working at Sesame School
while attending class. She eventually
earned an education degree in 1984.
Along the way, she met and married
another UAM student, Johnny
Ware, and took her first teaching job
at Wilks Academy, a small private
school in Sherwood. Her sixth grade
class had seven girls and one boy. A
year later, she took a job as a sixth
grade teacher at Pike View Elementary
School in North Little Rock and in
1989, she was hired at Indian Hills as
a gifted and talented facilitator after
earning a master’s degree in school
administration from the University of
Central Arkansas.
In her early years at Indian Hills,
Ware often traveled to as many
as three schools a week in central
Arkansas to assist with their gifted
and talented programs but now works
exclusively at Indian Hills.
Her students learn mathematics
at a high level, train for Quiz Bowl
competitions and develop their own
learning programs. Ware recently
organized a leadership symposium
and invited North Little Rock Police

Officer Tommy Norman to be the

students about volunteering to make
their community a better place.
“We talked about volunteering for
two weeks and the kids really took
it to heart and developed their own
projects,” says Ware. “When the power
went out at Christmas, one little boy
took firewood to the elderly who were
without electricity.”
One project hit close to home and
brought Ware to tears. “One of our
students built a stand and sold lemonade
on warm days and hot chocolate
on cold days,” she says. “He sent $76
to the Alzheimer’s Association because
he knew my Mom has Alzheimer’s.”
Ware was recently honored by
the North Little Rock Chamber of
Commerce and Mayor Joe Smith, who
designated April 8 as Amanda Abbott
Ware Day in North Little Rock. The
honor was for one day only, but Ware
plans to make it an annual event.
“From now on, my girlfriends and I
are taking April 8 off and celebrating
Amanda Ware Day.”

Tommy Barnes
Remembering a great coach,
mentor and friend
16
UAM MAGAZINE

(Former UAM football coach Tommy Barnes lost a hard-fought battle with Parkinson’s Disease on March 7. UAM Magazine
Editor Jim Brewer remembers a dear friend and fishing buddy, the Boll Weevils’ winningest coach.)
ommy Barnes
introduced me to
duck hunting the
hard way.
TGrowing up in northwest Arkansas,
I had hunted squirrels, rabbits and
deer with my father, but duck hunting
was a new experience. Tommy fixed
me up with a pair of borrowed waders,
picked me up at 4:30 in the morning
and carried me to a flooded field in the
delta.
We rode four-wheelers to the edge
of the field, then slogged for what
seemed like a half mile through kneedeep
water and gumbo that threatened
to pull the waders off my feet and
yank me face-first into the muck with
every labored step. Not wanting to
fall and embarrass myself on my first
duck hunt, I struggled mightily to stay
upright, using the butt end of my shot
gun as a walking stick.
Tommy would turn occasionally,
grinning, just to make sure I was still
there. When we reached the blind, I
was perspiring heavily despite the cold
when I noticed the rest of our hunting
party unloading their four-wheelers
parked on a levee no more than 20
yards behind the blind.
I looked at Tommy, who was already
starting to double over in laughter.
“I just wanted to see how bad you
wanted to duck hunt,” he explained.
I wanted to kill him, but ended up
laughing along with him. Tommy
Barnes had that effect on people.
I met Tommy in 1980 when he
joined the University of Arkansas at
Monticello football staff as defensive
line coach. He became the head coach
in 1985 and for the next 12 seasons
won more games than any coach in
UAM history. And he did it with
fewer scholarships, a smaller staff and
facilities that lagged far behind his
competition.
The competition noticed.
“I had the utmost respect for
Tommy Barnes as a football coach
and what he accomplished at UAM,”
says Harold Horton, former Central
Arkansas coach whose teams dominated
the AIC in the 1980s. “Tommy
was a competitor and that’s the way
his teams played. They were hard to
beat. He didn’t have the resources that
a lot of schools had at that time, but
he made the most of what he had.”
Tommy came from Fordyce, a
town blessed with coaching royalty,
including Paul “Bear” Bryant, Convoy
Leslie, Larry Lacewell and Red Parker.
It was said of the Bear that he didn’t
coach football so much as he coached
people. Tommy Barnes coached
people. Oh, he knew X’s and O’s as
well as anyone, but it was the relationships
he formed with his players that
made him successful.
“We all have defining moments in
our lives and there are usually a variety
of people associated with them,” says
Dr. Sean Rochelle, who quarterbacked
the Boll Weevils to a 10-2 record in
1988 and is now executive director of
the Razorback Foundation. “Other
than my mother, I can think of no
one who was part of more of those
moments for me than Coach Barnes.
He provided me with a scholarship so
I could attend school, offered me my
first full-time job when be brought
me back to UAM to join his staff, and
was always in my corner as I moved
forward in my life. He was an amazing
father, a devoted husband, a wise
mentor, a dedicated Christian. I don’t
know if anyone realizes how many
lives he impacted and how much better
everyone is whose life he touched.
I loved Coach Barnes.”
Through the years Tommy and I
forged a friendship based on mutual
respect and trust. As sports information
director, I was charged with
promoting the football program in a
positive manner and Tommy knew he
could trust me to do my job. And I
knew I could trust Tommy to never
mislead me or give me bad information.
Away from football, I was fortunate
to spend many wonderful hours fishing
and hunting with Tommy. It was
Tommy who showed me you didn’t
need a concrete boat ramp – or a boat
ramp of any kind – to launch your
boat. It was Tommy who showed me
it was possible to survive an electrical
storm while riding in an aluminum
boat in the middle of the Arkansas
River; and it was Tommy who took
me on a full throttle ride through a
stump-infested backwater lake along
the White River at 2 o’clock in the
morning to check our yo-yo’s.
No one got a bigger kick out of
catching a fish, and our fishing trips
usually turned into a competition that
I invariably lost.
As I look back on the hours I spent
in a bass boat with Tommy, the thing
I remember most is the laughter. No
one enjoyed life more, or lived it better
than he did.
I’ll miss you, coach!

The Centennial Circle
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
Tower.
If you would like to be part of The Centennial Circle, we encourage you to contact the UAM Office of Advancement,
at (800) 467-8148 or (870) 460-1028.

FOUNDATION
Resusci Anne
he National Automobile Dealers
T Charitable Foundation and the
Arkansas Automobile Dealers Association
recently donated a Resusci Anne
training unit consisting of four CPR
mannequins and one automated external
defibrillator to the UAM School of
Nursing for use in the school’s nursing
skills laboratory.
The School of Nursing plans to use
the mannequins and defibrillator to train
at least 30 people annually on what to
do when a person has a heart attack. “If
the right kind of treatment can be given
a heart attack victim within seconds
after he or she is stricken, the chances
are good that the life can be saved,”
said Bennie Ryburn, III, chief executive
office of the Ryburn Automotive Group
of Monticello. “CPR training teaches a
person how to keep the heart beating
while professional help is coming.”
DONATION HELPS NURSING Pictured from left are Christine Felts, associate professor of nursing,
Dr. Laura Evans, dean of the School of Nursing, Brandy Haley, assistant professor of nursing, Bennie
Ryburn, III, and UAM Chancellor Jack Lassiter.
Clearwater Gift
T
he Clearwater Paper Corporation’s
Cypress Bend Mill recently
made an $11,000 donation to the UAM
College of Technology-McGehee to purchase
air conditioning for a classroom
which is used for classes offered to the
Clearwater workforce.
Making the presentation was Lynn
Bliss of the Clearwater Paper Corporation.
“This is a very generous donation
that will be beneficial to both UAM-
CTM and Clearwater,” said Bob Ware,
vice chancellor of the McGehee campus.
“With this gift we will have adequate
space to place existing Clearwater
employees for the essential training the
company needs for its employees. It
also allows us to provide cutting-edge
training to Clearwater’s employees.”
In recent years, UAM’s McGehee
campus has provided millwright classes
as well as classes in electronics and
instrumentation for Clearwater employees.
The success of the classes forced
UAM-CTM to move those classes into
