The Methodist student body comes from 48 states and 37 countries. Students are encouraged to get involved and achieve academic success through day, evening and on-line courses, more than 70 student clubs and organizations, and 19 NCAA Division III intercollegiate athletic teams.

With six nationally-accredited academic programs and seven pre-professional programs, the college offers majors in seven disciplines – business and economics, education and physical education, fine arts, humanities, medical science, science and math- ematics and social science. The Fine Arts Division, with degrees ranging from several tracks in music to theatre to art and fine arts management, is a prime example of the successful blend of character prepa- ration and the liberal arts core that has become a trademark of Methodist College.

35 METHODIST MONARCH FOOTBALL 2004 MethodistMethodist AdministrationAdministration Dr. Elton Hendricks - President In his 20 years as the President of Methodist College, Dr. Elton Hendricks has matured the growth of the small, private school in Fayetteville, N.C., into one of the premier small private colleges in the Southeast. Under his guidance, en- rollment has more than doubled, new curriculum and sports have been added and 11 new buildings and facilities have been built on campus. Through Dr. Hendricks’ efforts, Methodist has become one of the fastest-growing private colleges in North Carolina.

Prior to assuming the Presidency at Methodist in September of 1983, Dr. Hen- dricks served six years as Academic Dean at Randolph-Macon College in Ash- land, Va. He also taught physics for four years – three at his alma mater, Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C., and one year at Eisenhower College in Seneca Falls, N.Y., and served two years as Director of Admissions at Wofford. From 1957-1961, Dr. Hendricks was a naval flight officer in the United States Navy.

Dr. Hendricks holds four degrees. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Wofford, his Master of Divinity degree from Duke University, his Ph.D in physics from the University of South Carolina and an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree from Wofford. Dr. Hendricks is an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church and preaches frequently throughout North Carolina. He and his wife, Jerry, have three grown children: Joyce Lynn, Leslie Patricia and George Elton. They also have three grandchildren.

Bob McEvoy - Athletic Director In August, 1998, Bob McEvoy assumed the duties of Athletic Director at Methodist College. As Athletic Director, McEvoy is responsible for the overall management of Methodist’s 19 varsity athletic teams. During his tenure, the Monarchs have finished in the Top 15 percent of the NCAA Division III Sears Director’s Cup All- Sports Trophy for the last six years. McEvoy also serves as Vice President of the USA South Athletic Conference, and is on the National Committee for the NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Championships.

In addition to being Methodist’s Assistant Athletic Director from 1995-1998, McE- voy also served seven seasons as the men’s head basketball coach from 1992 to 1999. During that period, the Monarchs rose from a struggling program to a championship-caliber program in the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

McEvoy’s 1996-97 Methodist squad had the best season in program history, capturing the DIAC regular season and tournament championships and advanc- ing to the “Elite Eight” of the NCAA Division III National Tournament with a 22-8 record.

Prior to his arrival at Methodist, McEvoy was boy’s head basketball at Cape Fear High School in Fayetteville following a seven-year stint as men’s head basketball coach UNC-Greensboro. McEvoy was part of the Spar- tans’ rise from NCAA Division III to NCAA Division I status, and he led UNC-Greensboro to back-to-back DIAC championships in 1987 and 1988. He is the winningest head coach in UNC-Greensboro men’s basketball history.

Other coaching stops for McEvoy include two years as Athletic Director and men’s head basketball coach at Mount Olive, two years as assistant men’s basketball coach at UNC-Pembroke, four years as boy’s head bas- ketball coach at Douglas Byrd High School in Fayetteville, one season as boy’s head basketball coach at Cape Fear High School in Fayetteville, and one season as a graduate assistant at East Carolina.

McEvoy earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Kent State in 1973, where he lettered three seasons in basketball for the Golden Flash. McEvoy was team captain as a senior and was selected once as honorable mention All-Mid-American Athletic Conference. He received his master’s degree in education from East Caro- lina in 1976. Bob and his wife, Pam, have two children – Mike and Lindsey. Mike is a junior basketball player at Methodist, while Lindsey is a freshman at Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C.

36 METHODIST MONARCH FOOTBALL 2004 USAUSA SouthSouth AthleticAthletic ConferenceConference The USA South might be the newest name in Division III athletics, but that doesn’t mean the eight-team league is new on the scene. One of the oldest Division III leagues in the nation, the USA South was born as the Dixie Conference in 1963 when six schools with similar philosophies of academics and athletics joined as founding members. Those colleges were: Charlotte College (now UNC Charlotte), College of Charleston (S.C.), Methodist College, North Carolina Wesleyan College, and St. Andrews Presbyterian College. The basis for the new athletic conference was that participation would be strictly amateur, and thus no athletically awarded financial aid or athletic scholarships would be awarded.That philosophy still exists today.

In January 2003, it was announced that the Dixie would change its name to the USA South, a name that is more inclusive to the student-athletes that compete under its banner. The name change was made official on June 18, 2003 and the first USA South championships will be awarded this fall.

The conference was originally affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), and remained with that affiliation until 1975. At that time the NCAA formed the Division III concept, which allowed membership for nonathletic scholarship schools only. The Dixie joined this new arrangement, and in so doing became one of the first conferences accepted into Division III. Since the inception of the Division III concept, the USA South Conference has been a leader in many areas, and has gained an outstanding regional and national reputation in a number of sports.

The league sponsored athletic programs for men’s sports only until 1983. In that year, the NCAA expanded its sponsorship to include women’s sports, and the Dixie followed that lead by including women’s sports. Many of the members’ teams have gained excellent recognition in this area also. The league had one national cham- pion (Averett golf) and one runner-up (Christopher Newport baseball) in 2002-03.

Each year the conference not only recognizes the participants for outstanding athletic achievements, but outstanding academic ones as well. Those student athletes who maintain academic averages of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale are named to the conference All-Academic team. This group annually averages well over 100 students.

Each year, a President’s Cup is awarded to the school that accumulates the most points throughout the academic year in sports that are sponsored by the USA South. Points are awarded on a graduated system, based on the number of teams that sponsor that particular sport. The President’s Cup winner for the 2003- 04 school year was Christopher Newport University. They are one of just four schools to have ever won the President’s Cup.

Presently, the conference features eight schools, four in Virginia and four in North Carolina. Peace College, an all women’s institution located in Raleigh, N.C., is the latest addition and they will be competing for cham- pionships for the first time this fall. Methodist and North Carolina esleyanW remain from the original six, while , Christopher Newport University, Ferrum College, and have all joined in the interim.

In the fall of 2005, Maryville (Tenn.) College joins the conference as a football-only member.
