WITH NCAA HONOR
Tech’s Fight On Spirit Evident
As you receive this issue of Tech Action magazine, the holiday
season is well underway. It is a time of year when we focus on
family and the joy of giving.
The spirit of giving swept the Arkansas Tech Family early this year,
as evidenced by the tremendous support that you gave to the
inaugural SignATUre Weekend of Giving during Homecoming 2015.
More than $30,000 was raised, the vast majority of which was
designated for the new Fight On Fund. This initiative is designed to
assist students who have experienced unforeseen changes in their
life circumstances and thus no longer have the resources necessary
to persist to graduation.
Gifts to the Fight On Fund will allow students to do just that —
Fight On — and maintain their pursuit of the life-changing benefits
of a college degree.
Examples of the “Fight On!” spirit at Arkansas Tech were all
around us this fall. Perhaps the best example was our Wonder
Boys football team, which overcame the tragic death of teammate
Zemaric Holt just before the start of fall practice to put together
Tech’s best season in six years.
The 2015 season reached its crescendo on Nov. 14 when the
Wonder Boys bounced back from a two-touchdown deficit in the
fourth quarter to defeat Harding University 27-24. With the win,
Arkansas Tech finished the regular
season 8-3 overall and earned an
invitation to a postseason bowl
game.
As we prepare to turn the calendar
to 2016, how will you Fight On?
Will you encourage a prospective
student in your hometown to take
a campus tour? Will you attend
a basketball doubleheader to
cheer on the Golden Suns and the
Wonder Boys? Will you make a gift
to the Arkansas Tech Foundation to benefit the next generation of
the Tech Family? Will you proudly wear the green and gold?
Thank you for your continued support of Arkansas Tech. Best
wishes to you and yours for a joyous holiday season and a happy
new year.

Abington/McCoy/Steuber Wins 2015 Homecoming Golf Classic
The three-man team of Chris Abington, Matt McCoy and Scott
Steuber fired a 13-under par round of 59 to win the championship
flight in the 2015 Arkansas Tech University Homecoming Golf
Classic at Chamberlyne Country Club on Friday, Oct. 9.
Abington, McCoy and Steuber won the title in a card-off, a process
of comparing hole-by-hole scores that is regularly used to break
ties in charity golf tournaments. As a result of the card-off, the
team of Toppy Owens, Tommy Papasan and Max Sherry finished in
second place with a score of 59.
Adam Anderson, Clay Anderson and Dusty Bonds took third place
in the championship flight with a round of 61.
First place in the senior championship flight went to the team of
Jim Gray, Tommy Hindsman and Bob Manry. They shot 57.
Bill Curtis won the closest to the line driving prize. Gregg Grant
won the closest to the hole competition.
A total of 26 three-person teams participated in the 2015
Homecoming Golf Classic. The annual event helps provide funds
for the Arkansas Tech Alumni Association Scholarship.
Proceeds from the Homecoming Golf Classic have helped the
Arkansas Tech Alumni Association fund more than $112,000 in
scholarships over the past five years. |

SignATUre Weekend
of Giving Tops $30,000
Members of the Arkansas Tech University community joined
together to provide emergency assistance funds for students
during the 2015 SignATUre Weekend of Giving Oct. 8-11.
In all, more than 260 individuals donated more than $30,000 to the
Arkansas Tech Foundation over the course of the event.
Of the funds raised, more than $28,000 was designated to help
Arkansas Tech establish the Fight On Fund. The new fund will
provide emergency assistance for students facing unforeseen
changes in their life circumstance that could prevent them from
reaching graduation.
The Arkansas Tech Foundation received a matching gift of $10,000
from an anonymous donor because members of the Tech family
were able to raise $10,000 during the four-day event.
“We are so appreciative to everyone that took part in our SignATUre
Weekend of Giving,” said Caroline Vining, coordinator of annual
giving programs. “Arkansas Tech is a family, and that is shown by
the willingness of members of the Tech community to join together
to help students facing difficulties. I know the students that receive
assistance from the Fight On Fund will know exactly what it means
to be part of the Tech family.”

Todd Receives Fall 2015 Third Floor Caraway Girls Scholarship
and they have returned to
Homecoming for a reunion
every year since.
The meaning and power of
the phrase “pay it forward”
was on full display during
an Arkansas Tech University
elementary education class
in Tomlinson Hall room 110
on Friday, Oct. 9.
A group of Arkansas Tech
alumnae from the late
1950s surprised current
Tech student Keri L. Todd of Ozark with a $2,050 scholarship to
aid in her pursuit of a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary
education.
“I am so surprised,” said Todd. “I want to express a heartfelt thank
you. I have two boys, and they are my greatest motivation to be an
elementary education major. This scholarship means the world.”
The story of the scholarship dates back more than a half-century
to a lifelong sisterhood that was developed by a group of women
in Caraway Residence Hall. Their friendships were rekindled in
2009 when they gathered for Homecoming at Arkansas Tech,
That group of Arkansas
Tech Class of 1959 alumnae
calls itself the Third Floor
Caraway Girls. Lou Nell
McCraw Davis, a retired
music teacher, spoke on their
behalf during the surprise
scholarship presentation.
“I want to offer you two pieces of advice,” said Davis in speaking
to the class. “Take your own personality into the classroom, and
always remember the challenges that your students face…both
those that you know of and those that you do not.”
Past recipients of the Third Floor Caraway Girls Scholarship have
included math education student Heather Gordon Neumeier of
Russellville, pre-medical biology student Linda Du of Baoding,
China and vocal music education major Michelle Einert of Ozone. |

COMPETITIVENESS CAN TAKE A PERSON FAR IN LIFE...
It took Rebecka Surtevall 4,819 miles from
her home in Sweden to not only attend
Arkansas Tech University, but to excel in
the classroom and on the golf course as a
student-athlete.
“Growing up I was the only kid, and my
parents treated me like I was one of them,”
said Surtevall. “When my dad and I would
play tennis matches, he would never
let me win. I had to fight for it from the
beginning. That competitiveness runs in
my family. I like to compete and I like to
win. It just comes naturally.”
That innate drive to succeed made
Surtevall one of nine individuals chosen
as finalists for the 2015 NCAA Woman of
the Year award. She was selected from a
pool of more than 100,000 female studentathletes for one of the top honors in all of
intercollegiate athletics.
“It’s amazing,” said Surtevall. “I am truly,
truly honored. This award would not be
10

Feature Story
close to possible without the support
from teachers, coaches, students and
teammates at Arkansas Tech and family
and friends back in Sweden. It wouldn’t
have been possible if I hadn’t been in
this environment. I strongly believe that.
It doesn’t feel like my award. It feels like
the entire school has been backing me.
Everyone has a part of it.”
Surtevall’s journey in golf started at the
age of 6 when her mother put a club in
her hands for the first time. She was
also involved in soccer, swimming and
floorball (a sport much like field hockey,
but indoors), but eventually golf won her
undivided attention.
“I was not big into it at first,” said
Surtevall, “but around 13 years old I got
the hang of it and started enjoying it much
more.”
Surtevall and her parents worked with an
organization named KILROY to explore
opportunities to attend college and play
golf in the United States.
“I came for a visit with my mom about a
year before signing up for a school, and
Arkansas Tech was one of those schools,”
said Surtevall. “I immediately fell in love
with the campus, the coach and the team.
It sounds strange, but it kind of felt like
home right from the start.”
That comfortable environment allowed
Surtevall’s golf game to flourish under the
guidance of Golden Suns’ head golf coach
Amy Anderson.
“To be quite honest, before I came to the
United States I did not practice a lot,”
said Surtevall. “It was maybe two hours
per week, if not less. Being under Coach
Anderson and having that structure of
knowing when to go to practice and what
to do…it set me up for success, seeing
that someone was paying a lot of attention
and cared about me. It evolved from that.”
The renewed focus paid off immediately.
Surtevall was Great American Conference
women’s golf player of the year as a
freshman during the league’s inaugural
year in 2011-12.
She earned the honor again as a
sophomore in 2012-13…and again as a
junior in 2013-14…and again as a senior
in 2014-15, making her the only person to
hold a GAC women’s golf player of the year
award.
As a senior, Surtevall had a scoring
average of 75.19. She captured individual
titles at the Golfweek Fall Invitational,
Great American Conference Preview
and Holiday Inn Express Central Region
Invitational to complete her four-year
career with 13 collegiate tournament
victories.
Surtevall was named to the 2015 Women’s
Golf Coaches Association NCAA Division
II All-America first team and the 2015
WGCA NCAA Division II All-Central Region
first team. She was a four-time, first-team
All-GAC selection and a three-time AllAmerican. Surtevall was also named GAC
female athlete of the year in 2013-14 and
2014-15.
She qualified for the NCAA Division II
Women’s Golf Championship in 2013,
2014 and 2015. Her third-place finish in
2014 is the highest individual finish by an
Arkansas Tech student-athlete in NCAA
national competition.
Surtevall gives much of the credit for her
success back to Anderson.
“My coach, she can adapt based upon the
situation,” said Surtevall. “She can be your
best friend. She can be your sister. She can
be your mom. And she can be that coach
that you just don’t want to upset. She just
knows which role to fill in each situation.
I don’t know how she manages it. I am
amazed how she does that, and I’ve
learned new things about how to interact
with others from just watching her. She’s
the best. There’s no other way to put it.”
Team success was also a big part of
Surtevall’s career at Arkansas Tech. The
Golden Suns finished in the top 10 of
the team standings at the NCAA national
tournament in 2014 and 2015, and they
won the 2015 GAC championship by a
league record 50 strokes.
“Long van rides to places really helped
us get closer,” said Surtevall when asked
about the dynamics of the team. “We truly
care for each other. Like any other team
we had our ups and downs, but we knew
that we had great potential and if we put
everything together we could go really
far. In order to do so, we had to work as
a team and push each other in the right
direction. I’m so happy I have everyone
from my team. I would not have been able
to accomplish what I have done if it wasn’t
for them. They are a big part of it.”
Surtevall’s community service while
a student at Arkansas Tech included
volunteer work to benefit a local animal
shelter and a local elementary school. She
also participated in a community cleanup drive and gave of her time to benefit
Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
Balancing all of it — golf, school,
community service and life — wasn’t
always easy.
“I fell short a lot of times,” said Surtevall.
“It’s hard being on the road a lot and then
trying to catch up with school. One thing
that golf has taught me is that it’s about
having a plan and then executing it as well
as possible. You have to prioritize what is
important in this moment and what can I
put aside. I was not very good at that my
freshman and sophomore years. Having
(Anderson) by my side and knowing that
I wanted to do really well in school, she
helped me create tools that would allow
me to balance golf and academics. I’m still
struggling with time management to this
day, but I’m getting better at it. It’s always
a challenge.”
On May 9, 2015, Surtevall graduated
Summa Cum Laude from Arkansas Tech
with a Bachelor of Science in Business
Administration degree.
The next step for Surtevall is professional
golf. She is competing on the National
Women’s Golf Association Tour, a minitour for aspiring female professional
golfers. She earned her first taste of
professional success Oct. 5-7 by finishing
in eighth place among a field of 54 players
at DeBary Golf and Country Club in
Florida.
“I was hoping that I could be the CEO right
away, but you don’t get that position from
the start,” said Surtevall. “You have to work
your way up. It takes time and patience. I
was lacking in that during the first part of
the summer, but I’m starting to realize it
doesn’t have to go in super speed. It takes
a lot of hard work. As long as I am having
fun and doing what I love, hopefully in the
end it will go my way.” |

Enrollment Makes Tech History Again
Arkansas Tech University has established a new record for largest
overall enrollment in institution history for a 17th consecutive year
and the largest freshman enrollment in institution history.
Arkansas Tech reported an 11th day enrollment of 12,054 students
for the fall 2015 semester. Enrollment at Tech has increased by 184
percent since 1997.
“The continuous growth that Arkansas Tech has enjoyed for almost
two decades is a mark of distinction and point of pride for our
institution,” said Dr. Robin E. Bowen, president of Arkansas Tech.
“We live by the ethic that each student is a valued member of our
community, and we are honored to have the opportunity to serve
each and every one of our 12,054 students. On behalf of our Board
of Trustees, faculty, staff and alumni, we say thank you to our
students for choosing Arkansas Tech.”
The enrollment figures indicate that Arkansas Tech is the thirdlargest institution of higher learning in Arkansas for a second
consecutive year.
There are 1,722 first-time students on the Arkansas Tech campus
in Russellville for fall 2015. That figure represents a 2.26 percent
12
WINTER 2015
Today's Tech
increase over fall 2014 freshman enrollment at Arkansas Tech in
Russellville.
“The Arkansas Tech Class of 2019 has raised the bar for academic
excellence at our university,” said Bowen. “Our incoming freshmen
in Russellville have an average ACT score of 22.05 and a high
school grade point average of 3.26, both of which are increases
over last year. In addition, 24.98 percent of our incoming freshmen
represent minority populations. I am excited to observe how this
group of students grows and evolves over the next four years. The
members of this class have the potential to be change agents in
building a stronger Arkansas.”
By location, Arkansas Tech enrollment is 9,933 through the
Russellville campus and 2,121 through the Ozark campus.
The Chronicle of Higher Education has ranked Arkansas Tech as
one of the 10 fastest-growing master degree-granting universities
in the United States for three consecutive years.

Gov. Asa Hutchinson was the special guest speaker at the second annual Arkansas Tech Freshman Convocation on Tuesday, Aug. 25.
Gov. Hutchinson Addresses Arkansas Tech Class of 2019
While speaking to the second annual Arkansas Tech University
freshman convocation on Tuesday, Aug. 25, Gov. Asa Hutchinson
told incoming students that they should always be prepared for
leadership development.
“My leadership skills were developed as crew chief for the night
cleaning crew in my college gymnasium,” said Hutchinson. “It
was there that I learned about encouragement, supply chain
management, people and interacting with them…those are good
leadership skills. Take advantage of those opportunities.”
The members of the Arkansas Tech Class of 2019 were formally
inducted as Tech students during the event, which took place at
John E. Tucker Coliseum.
Hutchinson recognized two of the Arkansas Tech alumni who serve
on his staff: Michael Lamoureux, chief of staff; and J.R. Davis,
communications director. He pointed to Lamoureux and Davis
as examples of where an individual can go with an Arkansas Tech
education.
“The opportunities that await you are immense if you seize them,”
said Hutchinson. “In Arkansas, we do a great job of moving
our students from high school graduation into college, but the
graduation rate is not what we need. That reflects in terms of our
income, job opportunities and job creation ability. I’m pulling for
you, I challenge you and I’m hopeful that you will fulfill your desire
and your commitment to graduate on time with a degree from
Arkansas Tech University.
“We do have some challenges as a state, but I see these as great
opportunities,” continued Hutchinson. “One of the things that
I advocated as a candidate for governor and have fulfilled as
governor is that we would offer computer science or computer
coding in every high school in Arkansas. We have done that. A
dream became law and a reality. We want to lead. We have the
opportunity and the technology, and Arkansas Tech is leading the
way with the degree programs that it offers.”
Freshmen were inducted as Arkansas Tech students by the deans of
their respective colleges.
Also recognized during the convocation were members of the
Arkansas Tech Class of 1969, which began its journey to college
graduation 50 years ago this fall.
Dr. Robin E. Bowen, president of Arkansas Tech, began her remarks
by sharing a brief history of the university with the freshmen.
“Today, we inherit the 106-year tradition of Arkansas Tech,” said
Bowen, who is in her second academic year as Arkansas Tech
president. “It is a tradition built upon providing educational
opportunity. It is a tradition of professionalism and integrity.
Perhaps most of all, the story of Arkansas Tech is about having
the grit…the passion and perseverance…to overcome any and all
obstacles that stand between you as a student and your academic
goals.”
Bowen went on to speak of the rare opportunity that the Arkansas
Tech Class of 2019 has received by noting that 17 percent of the
world population cannot read or write, 15 percent of the world
population is undernourished, 48 percent of the world population
lives on less than $2 per day and less than 1 percent of the world
population has the chance to graduate from a public university in
the United States.
“So yes, you have an incredible opportunity, each and every one
of you,” said Bowen. “But with opportunity comes responsibility.
There are many issues that plague our world. Among them, as
noted earlier, are hunger, poverty, illiteracy, war, illness and
disability. I could go on and on.
“We need you,” continued Bowen. “We need your talents, your
skills and your creativity to address these issues. A college
education equips you to address these issues. Find your passion,
be it creating a new technology that multiplies food production
to feed the hungry, or educating children, or discovering the next
generation of energy source, whatever it may be. What will you do
to make this world a better place? Find that passion, your passion,
and make your mark. I challenge you to take this opportunity
to meet that responsibility, the one you choose based on your
passion.” |

places this cohort in a special and unique
category,” said Freeman. “These students
are very aware that they will forever hold
a special designation as the first doctoral
graduates in the history of the university.
While that prospect helps to motivate
them to complete the degree, it also
places some pressure on the students
and the program as a whole, because
the success of the program lies in their
success.”
Freeman, who has 19 years of experience
working with doctoral students, said that
a desire to learn, an ability to balance

the program and become advocates for
the quality of the program and recruiters
for our future cohorts,” said Freeman.
“All of us who are working directly with
these students are excited to get to know
them and to work with them in an effort
to help them achieve their personal
and professional goals. This is a cohort
that the entire ATU community will be

Arkansas Tech Receives Federal Funds For Student Support Services
Arkansas Tech University has received a grant from the U.S.
Department of Education that will allow the institution to continue
offering extra support to students who need a helping hand in
persisting to graduation.
The Student Support Services (SSS) grant is for $220,000 per year
for five years. The SSS program falls under the umbrella of TRIO,
an initiative established by the federal government in 1964 to
overcome class, social and cultural barriers to higher education.
The funds will allow Arkansas Tech to continue providing
specialized services to current students who are first-generation
college students from low-income families and current students
who have disabilities evidencing academic need.
Arkansas Tech has offered the SSS program on its campus since
receiving an initial five-year grant in 2010.
“We have a responsibility to make higher education accessible
and attainable,” said Dr. Robin E. Bowen, Arkansas Tech president.
“Programs such as Student Support Services help students achieve
their academic goals by connecting them with critical resources.
Arkansas Tech expresses its appreciation to the members of our
congressional delegation for their assistance in securing these
funds.”
Three alumnae of Arkansas Tech administer the program on
campus. Lori Wineland serves as director of student support
services, while Lindsey Riedmueller and Nichole Christensen are
student support services advisors.
They are responsible for ensuring that the 140 Tech students
selected for the program each year have access to academic
tutoring and advising, financial aid information, personal
counseling, information about applying for graduate and
professional schools and career services.
Program participants are also exposed to field trips and other
cultural experiences that they might not otherwise have access to.
Dr. David Underwood, associate vice president for academic affairs
at Arkansas Tech, was responsible for developing the SSS grant on
behalf of the university.
Current Arkansas Tech students who are interested
in gaining more information about applying for
the program may visit www.atu.edu/sss. |

More Arkansans Study STEM at
Arkansas Tech According to ADHE
Data released by the Arkansas Department
of Higher Education on Friday, July 31,
indicates that Arkansas Tech University is
the statewide leader in attracting incoming
students from Arkansas who wish to major
in the science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) fields.
The ADHE data shows that over the
past five years, 1,541 first-time entering
students at Arkansas Tech who were
natives of Arkansas chose to major in one
of the STEM fields.
That figure represents 20.3 percent of all
STEM students from the State of Arkansas
at Arkansas colleges and universities since
2010, and it ranks Arkansas Tech ahead of
the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville
(1,239 students), Arkansas State University
(1,213 students), the University of Central
Arkansas (1,055 students) and the
University of Arkansas at Fort Smith (660
students) in attracting Arkansans to study
in the STEM fields over the past five years.
“Producing high-caliber graduates in the
STEM fields will play a major role in the
growth and development of the Arkansas
economy,” said Dr. Robin E. Bowen,
Arkansas Tech president. “Students choose
to study STEM at Arkansas Tech because
of the excellence of our faculty, our
modern facilities and our commitment to
student success. It is our strength in those
fundamentals that has allowed Arkansas
Tech to take on this leadership position
for STEM education and economic
development in Arkansas.”
ADHE data shows that Arkansas is making
strides in its effort to increase the number
of students pursuing the STEM fields in
higher education. The number of STEM
majors from Arkansas at the state’s
colleges and universities increased by 24
percent from fall 2010 to fall 2014, going
from 1,613 students in 2010 to 2,001
students in fall 2014.
The information was released as part
of the Arkansas Higher Education
Coordinating Board regular quarterly
meeting, which took place at the ADHE
offices in Little Rock. |
Arkansas Tech Leads State in Social Mobility for Students
CollegeNET has ranked Arkansas Tech University No. 1 in its state
and among the top 10 percent of institutions in the United States
in terms of providing its students with an opportunity to improve
their economic standing.
The 2015 CollegeNET Social Mobility Index (SMI) looks at the
economic background of a university’s student body and compares
it to the institution’s tuition rate, graduation rate and endowment
as well as the early career salary for its young alumni.
Based upon those criteria, the study found that Arkansas Tech
provides the greatest opportunity for socioeconomic advancement
to its students of any college or university in Arkansas.

Arkansas Tech ranks No. 90 nationally in the survey. No other
university in the state made the top 250.
“The new SMI rankings show that through wise policy-making,
colleges and universities can be part of improving both economic
opportunity and social stability in our country,” wrote CollegeNET
in its explanation of the rankings. “Let’s recast the chase for
‘prestige’ to include lowering tuition, recruiting more economically
disadvantaged students and ensuring that enrolled students
graduate into good paying jobs.”

Arkansas Tech Remembers Captain Cartwright
Jane Cartwright Bristow and Betty
Cartwright Lancaster sat front and
center at the Pope County Fairgrounds
on Thursday, Aug. 27, as Arkansas Tech
University remembered their brother, Capt.
Jimmy Cartwright.
A 1960 graduate of Arkansas Tech, Capt.
Cartwright died on June 23, 1964, when
his plane was shot down by hostile fire in
Vietnam. He was the first of 588 Arkansans
to die in Vietnam, and he was the only
graduate of the Arkansas Tech ROTC
program to die in combat during that
conflict.
The ceremony was held in conjunction
with an appearance in Russellville by
the American Veterans Traveling Tribute
Vietnam Memorial Wall replica.
“Jim was a quiet, studious, honest, decent
individual,” said Bristow. “He was a loving
brother, a loving son and I wish I had
gotten to know him when he became the
man that he could have been. That’s what
I miss…not knowing who he became and
what his life would have been like. I’m very
proud, and I owe him and all of them a
great deal of gratitude for our country.”
Cartwright was a native of Mountainburg.
He was a three-year class president,
vice president of the Future Farmers of
America and four-year letterman in both
basketball and baseball at Mountainburg
High School.
18
WINTER 2015
Today's Tech
Following his graduation from Arkansas
Tech in 1960, Cartwright became a U.S.
Army aviator qualified in fixed wing
aircraft. He volunteered and was deployed
to the 73rd Aviation Company in Vietnam
in 1964. He was six days beyond his 28th
birthday when he lost his life.
“Arkansas Tech students and faculty have
always answered the call of service to
defend this great nation…from World
War I to the current day,” said Arkansas
Tech President Dr. Robin E. Bowen
during the ceremony on August 27. “In
World War II, Tech was featured in Life
magazine as a majority of our students
put their studies on hold and marched
off to war. Last semester, we had over 340
veterans of the current conflicts enrolled
on campus…men and women who have
served their country with honor and
are now continuing their education at
Arkansas Tech so they may continue to
make significant contributions in a variety
of fields.”
As part of the ceremony, a framed tribute
to Cartwright was unveiled. The tribute
was designed by Felisha Weaver, Arkansas
Tech alumna and director of publications
and creative services in the Arkansas Tech
Office of University Relations.
“It is with great pride that I accept this
remembrance of Captain Cartwright’s
service and sacrifice,” said Bowen. “This
will be placed in a location of honor
at Arkansas Tech University as a visual
reminder to our students, faculty and staff
of the dedication of those who studied at
this great university before them.”
Bristow and Lancaster, along with
their husbands Harold Bristow and Jim
Lancaster, were able to take an etching of
Capt. Cartwright’s name on the memorial
wall during the event.
“I’m sorry my mother can’t be here to
remember it, and all of his brothers are
gone now,” said Bristow. “We were so
proud of him, and we miss him to this day
of course. I think it’s wonderful that Tech
has done this. It means a great deal to us
that there will be something permanent
there for Jim.”
At its 50th anniversary reunion in 2010,
the Arkansas Tech Class of 1960 made a
collective gift to the Jim Cartwright Fund
of the Arkansas Tech Foundation. Gifts to
the fund provide interest-free bridge loans
to veterans enrolled at Arkansas Tech
to cover their expenses from the time of
enrollment until they begin receiving their
G.I. Bill funds.
Those wishing to make a donation to
the Jim Cartwright Fund for the benefit
of Arkansas Tech students may do so by

Development at (479) 968-0400. |
Baswell Attends 70th Anniversary of World War II
Arkansas Tech University alumnus Carl
Baswell was sitting at a German train
station when he received word that World
War II was over and his side had prevailed.
Seventy years later, as he sat in the
Arkansas State Capitol Rotunda on
Friday, Aug. 14, 2015, during an event
commemorating the 70th anniversary of
the end of World War II, he was able to
sum up how he felt on Aug. 14, 1945, with
one word.
“Relief,” said Baswell, 93, as he recalled
that moment at the German train station.
“In the yard there was a tanker of French
red wine, and we all got loaded.”
Baswell was among approximately 70
World War II veterans from Arkansas in
attendance at the 70th anniversary event,
which was sponsored by the Arkansas
Secretary of State’s office and the Arkansas
Department of Veterans Affairs.
Verlon Abram, who like Baswell is a Heber
Springs product, Arkansas Tech alumnus
and retired serviceman, joined Baswell
at the State Capitol. Abram is serving
as commander of the American Legion
Department of Arkansas for 2015-16.
“Strength, goodwill, honor, dignity…
these are the enduring characteristics of
the World War II generation that all of us
should emulate,” said Abram.
Baswell was born on May 18, 1922, in
Heber Springs to Ross and Ruby Baswell.
He graduated from Heber Springs High
School in 1940 and enrolled at Arkansas
Tech. Baswell participated in intramural
sports and was the scorekeeper at
Wonder Boys’ basketball games in the
armory, now known as the Stroupe
Building. He studied engineering at Tech.
Baswell graduated in 1942, just a few
months after the event that determined
the course of his life and the lives of
many young men from that era — the
bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Baswell entered the United States
Army as a volunteer soldier on Sept.
13, 1942. He took basic training at Camp
Callan, Calif., and was sent to Camp
Davis, Wilmington, N.C., to attend Officer
Candidates School.
On April 21, 1943, Baswell was
commissioned as a second lieutenant
in the United States Army Air Defense
Artillery. The following weeks and months
saw him serve on active duty in Panama.
He returned to the United States in the fall
of 1943 and was given a branch transfer to
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers based
on his education at Arkansas Tech.
Baswell was assigned to the 9th Armored
Engineer Battalion, 9th Armored Division,
Fort Polk, La. With World War II entering
its critical final stages in the European
theater, the division was sent to England
and made an administrative landing at
Normandy, France, in September 1944.
Three months later, Baswell was wounded
during the largest land battle that the
Verlon Abram and Carl Baswell
United States participated in during
World War II, the Battle of the Bulge.
Approximately 119,000 men, including
19,000 Americans, perished at the Battle
of the Bulge.
After more than a quarter-century of
service, Baswell achieved his career goal
when he was promoted to Colonel in 1969.
He retired in June 1974 after 32 years of
active duty.
Baswell entered the private sector after
his retirement from the U.S. Armed
Services. He was director of international
operations for KLEE KG, a German
international construction and service
firm, from 1974-92. He remained an active
business and engineering consultant long
after his retirement from full-time work.
Today, Baswell is among the most
generous benefactors of Arkansas Tech.
Two buildings on campus — Baswell
Residence Hall and Baswell Techionery —
are named in his honor. |
Seventh Alumnus Promoted to General Officer
Gary W. Johnston has become the seventh graduate of the Arkansas
Tech University U.S. Army ROTC program to attain the rank of
General officer in the U.S. Army.
Johnston, a product of Russellville and 1987 graduate of Arkansas
Tech, was promoted to Brigadier General during a ceremony at Fort
Belvoir, Va., on Monday, Sept. 14.
Johnston serves as Deputy Commander for U.S. Army Intelligence
and Security Command at Fort Belvoir.
He previously served as senior intelligence officer (G-2) with the
XVIII Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg, N.C.
Johnston joins Major General Ronald S. Chastain, Major General
Harley C. Davis, Brigadier General Gracus K. Dunn, Major General
William E. Harmon, Brigadier General Larry Newman and Major
General William Wofford as the only graduates of the Arkansas
Tech ROTC program to earn the rank of General officer in the U.S.
Army.
Other honored ROTC graduates of Tech include Congressman
Steve A. Womack and two Department of Defense civilian Generalofficer-equivalent: Senior Executive Service Dalton R. Jones and
Defense Intelligence Senior Level William H. Speer (Colonel, U.S.
Army Retired). |

Jerry’s Journal
Every day is a good day to be Jerry
the Bulldog, but I’ll be the first to
admit that some are even better than
others.
Without any question, Oct. 23 of
each year is one of my favorite days.
It’s the anniversary of the unanimous
vote cast by the Arkansas Tech
Student Government Association in
2013 to restore the Tech tradition of Jerry the Bulldog after a 76year absence and establish the campus ambassador program.
My people celebrate that anniversary with an event entitled,
appropriately enough, Jerry Day. For 2015, Jerry Day included free
commemorative cups for the first 250 students who came to see
me and get their photograph taken with me. You can see several
examples of those photos on this page.
They say there are two types in this world — those who run to the
camera, and those who run away from it. Generally speaking, I am
a run to the camera kind of guy…particularly if the photographer
or his/her assistant is promising me a treat.
In addition to Jerry Day, I kept myself busy this fall entertaining a
variety of current and future students.
On Oct. 10, we welcomed 950 individuals to the 19th annual Tech
Open House, an event that provides interested parties with an
opportunity to visit with representatives from each academic
discipline on campus and learn more about our university.
A month later, I greeted 800 ninth graders from the Cabot School
District. They were at Arkansas Tech to get an idea of what college
is all about. I hope to see many of them back here as Tech students
in three-and-a-half years.
I’d also love to see you back on campus. Come find me at a
basketball game. We’ll take a photo together and then cheer on
the Golden Suns and Wonder Boys. If basketball season is as much
fun as the fall sports were, it’s going to be a great winter at Tucker
Coliseum.
Remember to check out www.atu.edu/jerry for my story and lots of
photos. Until I see you again, Fight On!
Sincerely,

Jones Takes On New Role, Hundley Serves as Interim V.P.
Arkansas Tech University President
Dr. Robin E. Bowen announced
that Jayne Jones would take on a
new role as coordinator of special
projects for the university on Oct.
1, 2015.
Jones has served on the Arkansas
Tech staff since 1976, including the
last 14 years as vice president for
development.
“Throughout her tenure, Jayne has
been integrally involved in the
university community, playing vital roles in several departments,”
said Bowen. “She has brought her talents to the areas of news
bureau, admissions, finance and administration, alumni and
development as well as the Arkansas Tech Foundation.
“In her new role, Jayne will spearhead efforts to increase operating
efficiencies for Arkansas Tech across campus, in partnership with
peer institutions and in higher education overall,” continued
Bowen. “In doing so, she will continue to develop relationships
in Russellville and across the state in order to optimize the
productivity of the university across a wide breadth of initiatives.”
Patrick Hundley was selected to serve as interim vice president for
development.
Hundley has overseen development and alumni operations at
Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, where he was vice
chancellor for university relations from 2008-14; Minnesota State
University-Moorhead, where he was executive vice president from
2004-08; and the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, where he was
assistant chancellor for university advancement from 1995-2004.
Susie Nicholson, vice president for student services and university
relations, is serving as chair for the search committee charged
with identifying an individual to lead Arkansas Tech’s development
efforts on a permanent basis.
“I would like to thank Jayne for her leadership with the
development of our important relationships with alumni and
key supporters in advancing the mission of Arkansas Tech,” said
Bowen. “We look forward to the contributions she will certainly
make in her next endeavor. Our university is facing a time of great
opportunity. Our growth and accomplishments over the past few
years have been nothing short of amazing, and I know we have an
even greater future ahead of us. I am excited about our people,
I am constantly energized by our ability to embrace change and
growth, and I look forward to the many successes that lie ahead.” |

Exciting Time at Tech as
Vision for Future Explored
Jon Madonna, longtime CEO of KPMG, one of the Big Four financial
firms in the world, always believed that vision is the number one
ingredient necessary for success. He said that “Nothing stops
an organization faster than people who believe that the way you
worked yesterday is the best way to work tomorrow.” As alumni and
supporters, we all should therefore feel really great about Arkansas
Tech because we are most certainly NOT doing things the way they
were done yesterday.
Under the leadership of President Robin Bowen, our current
strategic planning exercise is allowing us to explore all aspects of
the university and seek out a vision for where we want Arkansas
Tech to be in the next few years, indeed in the next few decades.
We are attempting to envision what our students will want and
need and then what we must do to make this happen. Add to
this our constant review of our physical plant, and we all can
be assured that Arkansas Tech will not only be here for our next
generations, but it will be an organic institution that adjusts to
meet the needs of the future. This is a very, very exciting time in
this outstanding university’s history.
But we are not able to move forward without your help. The list of
donors in this issue of Tech Action says volumes about the support
that we receive from our friends and alumni. Your gifts are a great
part of our ability to take Arkansas Tech University to the next level.
So we thank you so much! But
you must continue to support
us with your gifts as we move
toward implementation of the
strategic plan. Your annual gifts
are very important, and we have
larger projects – equipment,
renovation, activities – that need major gifts as we make Arkansas
Tech everything that it has to be for the next generation. And
don’t forget Arkansas Tech as you make your estate plans. Having
Arkansas Tech as a part of your final gift is the ultimate statement
of pride and love for your alma mater.
Please come back to campus soon and see all of the visionary
things that are the future Arkansas Tech. We know that we can
count on you, and we want you to be a special part of this great
time in Tech’s history.

John Tucker’s Playbook on Display at Tech Museum
One of
the most
significant
artifacts
related to
Arkansas Tech
University
athletics ever
discovered is
now available
for public
viewing.
The personal playbook of John E. Tucker, the
Original Wonder Boy, from his days as head
football coach at Arkansas Tech is part of a
new exhibit in the Arkansas Tech Museum.
The museum, located in the Techionery at
1502 North El Paso Ave., is open 8 a.m.-5
p.m. weekdays. Admission is free and open
to the public.
The playbook is in Tucker’s handwriting
on the back of a 1937-38 school activities
calendar. Paul Smith, director of athletic
communications at Arkansas Tech, found the
playbook during the spring 2015 semester. It
was rolled up in a mailing tube and hidden
behind a portrait of Tucker inside the trophy
case at Tucker Coliseum.
Smith passed the item along to the Arkansas
Tech Museum, where director Judith StewartAbernathy and her staff took the appropriate
steps to verify its relationship to Tucker,
preserve it and prepare it for display.
Tucker played football at Arkansas Tech
from 1919-24 and accumulated an
insurmountable school-record total of 443
career points scored. No other Tech player
has ever scored more than 259 career points.
All-America running back Eddie Meador
amassed that figure from 1955-58.
From 1920-24, Tucker led the Wonder Boys
to a cumulative record of 31-3-5. Their only
three losses during that span were to the
University of Tulsa (1922), Army (1923) and
Texas A&M (1924).
Henry Loesch, sports editor for the Arkansas
Gazette, wrote the following in describing
Tucker’s performance in a 14-7 win over
Little Rock College on Nov. 5, 1920.
“Now for the rest of the story that
Russellville asked for; for the introduction
of a super player and for the details of his
performance,” wrote Loesch. “Russellville

progress.
“The husky captain, he weighs a neat 180,

equal to the role of individual star, but this
Tucker is so good that he makes the rest of
them look bad,” continued Loesch. “He’s so
good that it is hard to see any one else on
the entire field.”
It proved to be one of Tech’s final games
under the Aggies moniker. Little more than
a week later, the Arkansas Gazette used
Wonder Boys as a proper noun for the first
time following a 13-0 win over what is now
Henderson State University. The nickname
has been part of Arkansas Tech lore ever
since.
The end of Tucker’s playing career was
merely the beginning of his service to
Arkansas Tech. He went on to work at the
school in a variety of roles — including
coach, teacher, athletic director and director
of student affairs — between 1925 and 1972.
Tucker took a brief sabbatical from Tech to
attend the University of Alabama, where
he played on the Crimson Tide team that
defeated Washington State 24-0 in the 1931
Rose Bowl.
He came back to serve as head coach for the
Wonder Boys football team from 1933-41
and again from 1945-47. He won 77 games
and five Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference
championships as Tech head football coach.
His .791 winning percentage still stands as
the best of any head football coach in school
history.
Today, two buildings on the Arkansas Tech
campus — Tucker Hall and Tucker Coliseum
— are named in his honor. He entered the
Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1962 and he
was part of the first class inducted into the
Arkansas Tech Hall of Distinction in 1965.
The new exhibit at the Arkansas Tech
Museum includes Tucker’s plaques from
the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame and the
Arkansas Tech Hall of Distinction. Other
items include his diploma from the Second
District Agricultural School (the original
name of Arkansas Tech University) and
his Master of Science degree from the
University of Alabama, as well as a number
of photographs and a timeline of his life.

Predictions Favorable for Arkansas Tech University Basketball Teams
Basketball season is underway at Arkansas Tech University, and both
the Wonder Boys and Golden Suns are aiming for a return trip to the
NCAA Division II Tournament in 2016.
The Golden Suns are under the direction of ninth-year head coach
Dave Wilbers. Chad Kline is in his second season as the Wonder Boys’
head coach.
Arkansas Tech was the preseason favorite to win the 2015-16 Great
American Conference women’s basketball championship, while league
coaches predicted that Tech would finish in the top four of the 2015-16
GAC men’s basketball standings.
Visit www.arkansastechsports.com to view the Arkansas Tech
basketball schedules. The 2016 GAC Tournament is scheduled for
March 3-6 in Bartlesville, Okla. The men’s and women’s champions of
that event will earn automatic berths in the NCAA Tournament. |

Rosie Silva Finds Success in Professional Basketball
Arkansas Tech University alumna Rosie Silva has taken her
basketball talents to the world stage.
Silva represented her native Venezuela in the 2015 Pan Am
Games, which were played in July in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
She averaged 21.5 points, four rebounds and 3.5 steals per
game in four contests during the tournament. Silva scored 31
points and made five steals during Venezuela’s final contest at
the Pan Am Games, a 72-56 win over the Dominican Republic.
Her performance caught the eye of international basketball
scouts, and she signed a professional contract to play for
Azkoitia in Spain.
Silva has made an immediate impact in Europe. As of midNovember, she ranked No. 2 in Liga Femenina de Baloncesto
(translation: Basketball Women’s League) in scoring (17.8 points
per game) and she led the league in steals (5.3 per game).
None of it is surprising to those who watched Silva play at
Arkansas Tech.
She was a two-year letter winner for the Arkansas Tech women’s
basketball program. As a senior in 2012-13, she averaged 15.4
points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 5.1 steals per game.
A product of Caracas, Venezuela, Silva was named third team
All-America by Division II Bulletin, All-NCAA Division II Central
Region, Great American Conference female athlete of the year,
GAC women’s basketball player of the year, GAC women’s
basketball defensive player of the year and first team All-GAC in
recognition of her play in 2012-13.
Silva earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Arkansas Tech in
2014. |
Silva established new Arkansas Tech school records for steals in
a single season (154 in 2012-13) and steals in a career (280).
