SPRING 2001 19 PiKA From Central Arkansas Stars In Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association

Over the years, the Shield & Diamond has covered athletes from well-known sports like football and basketball to semi-obscure sports like collegiate or professional skiing, fencing and race car driving. Well, with this issue, one more sport is being officially added to the list. Jeremy Sparks (Centra/Arkansas, Epsilon Phi '96) is a professional bullfighter, that's right, a bullfighter. One of the PRCA's rising stars, Sparks recently qualified for the International Finals Rodeo freestyle bullfight. In the 2000 season alone, Sparks performed over I 00 times in 25 states. United States bullfighting is different from traditional Spanish bu ll ­ fighting - the bullfighters don 't kill or stab the bull. In each event, the fighter spends 70 seconds in an arena with a bull that is generally smaller, quicker and more agile than those used in bull-riding events. Judges award points to both the fighter for action control and risk­ taking, and the bull for aggressiveness. As Sparks says, "The bulls compete for years, and like their human counterparts, learn from their mi stakes and improve with experience!" Not a common chosen profession, bullfighting was first exposed to Sparks because his uncle owned an amateur rodeo company, and he 's never regretted his choice of making it a career. Staring down, duping and dodging a bull for over one minute more than 100 times annually takes a different type of person, and Sparks is just that. "I've straight-faced! For more information on the man that is certainly Pi had my tibia broken and have been punctured in my upper thigh near Kappa Alpha 's # I ranked bullfig hter, please visit http:// the groin area, but I've managed to avoid major injury," said Sparks communities.msn.com/JeremySparks.

Alpha Om ega '97) pitched 14 games for Charl eston of the South Atlantic League.

In Olympic sports, Javelin thrower Breaux Greer (Lo uisiana-Monroe, Eta Omicron '95) ORIGINALS had his best year ever by qualifying for the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Greer not only was the best javelin thrower in the United States, but he advanced to the javelin finals at the Olympics placing him in the top 12 in the world.

SPRING 2001 31 UCATIONAL FOUNDATION Trusting In Pi Kappa Alpha's Future

en Simonds (East Tennessee State, Epsilon Zeta '55) simply wants Kto be remembered as a leader who "gave a damn," and Brother Simonds knows about leadership firsthand. His journey through the corporate world and as an entrepreneur has included stints at IBM, Amdahl Corporation, and Teradata Corporation with titles like Director of Data Processing Services, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, Chairman and CEO. Twice during that time he guided start up companies from no revenue to hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. He also helped take one firm public and later sold it to AT&T. Given all of these accomplishments it probably won't surprise anyone to learn that Brother Simonds enhanced his early development as a leader while serving Epsilon Zeta Chapter as president.

Brother Simonds has chosen to "give back" to Pi Kappa Alpha by supporting the Educational Foundation's scholarship and leadership programs through a planned gift. Through the use of a Charitable Remainder Unitrust, he has named the Educational Foundation a beneficiary of the trust. By notifying the Educational Foundation of his estate plans, Brother Simonds is helping the Foundation to plan for the ultimate use of his gift, while also allowing the Foundation to properly recognize him for his foresight and generosity through membership in the Oak Trust planned giving society. Types of Charitable Remainder Trusts

While there are many ways to arrange planned gifts, one of the most Charitable remainder trusts can be structured in different ways to flexible and increasingly popular ways is through a Charitable meet individual financial and philanthropic goals.

It's hard for the Omega Alumni Association to characterize the Pikes that chartered Omega Chapter June 5, 190 I. What kind of back­ ground did they have? How did they come to­ gether?

How­ ever, as a re ult of the foresight of these men, we will celebrate the Omega IOOth Anniver- ary April 6, 200 I in Lexington, Kentucky.

Pike Alumni Making Headlines Beta Gamma Alumnus Builds New Minor League Baseball Stadiums

In the last few baseball seasons, new minor league stadiums have been opening up at record pace. Leading the resurgence of"family baseball" is the Kansas City architectural firm HNTB and it director of minor league base­ ball, Associate Vice Pre ident Martin DiNitto (Kansas, Beta Gamma '81). Under DiNitto's leadership, HNTB has produced an impressive li st of new ballpark : Loui ville Slugger Field in Louisville, Kentucky; Raley Field in Sacramento, California; and Mud Hens Stadium in Toledo, Ohio among oth­ ers. HNTB relied on DiNitto from the beginning of their targeted movement to become the industty leader in the exploding business of minor league baseball. DiNitto, who remains up to date on happenings at Beta Gamma, takes great pride in his projects since most involve a major revitalization of a rundown section of town, so the entire community benefits. As for the parks themselves, Di itto says, "The stadiums embody the va lues in design that are reflected in the context of their surroundings. They embrace the client' vision, accom­ modate modem baseball and serve as a family entettairunent venue."

Alpha Nu Alumnus Writes Feature Film: Wakin, Up In Reno

Hollywood talent Mark Fauser (Missouri, Alpha Nu '80) has written the soon to be released Miramax movie "Wakin' Up ln Reno" .

Recalling hi s days at Mizzou, Fauser is hoping for a great first weekend turnout, with many viewers being Pikes! "When I was in the chapter, ifl'd written a play or wa acting in one, the brothers always came out on opening night to support me." It was at Alpha Nu where Fauser started to write and perform, building on the chapter's annual success in Homecoming and Greek Week competitions. · Since then, Fauser has written for television's "Evening Shade" and co-wrote the movie "The Right To Remain Silent" that won a prestigious ACE award, and he has another movie in development with Miramax called "Hillbilly Heist". As an actor, Fauser has appeared on shows including "Jag", "Coach", "Quantum Leap" and had a recurring role on "Seaquest". He also recently finished a movie called "Madison".

Spring Rush Tip: Pledge Athletes!

When considering athleti cs, both va r ity and intramurals, reputati on comes to mind. To pledge varsity athletes, there are two approache . If your chapter already has ath letes, uti lize th ose brothers in rush to ensure that they wi ll help pledge others li ke them. Gather recommendations from the current athl etes, and then invo lve them in th e recruiting process. It's easier to pl edge MORE ath letes than SOME athletes. If your chapter doesn' t yet have athletes, though, set up a meeting with coaches to ex plain the benefits ofhaving hi s members in Pi Kappa Alpha. Present · at th e meeting should be the chapter president, rush chairman and definitely the chapter advisor. Then work, work , and work. As for intramural athl etics, one of the mo t important ways a fraternity measures itself again st the competition, e tablish a tradition of dominance. If you're already winning championships, use the current athl etes to help rush incoming high school stars or winners in th e independent leagues. If you're hoping to establish an intramural tradition, put what athl etes you already have on the ru h committee and cha ll enge them to recruit ath­ letes better than themselves. In athleti cs, there are clear winners, and rush is no di fferent. Good luck!
