Spring 2010 • Delta State Magazine • 1 President’s Message Dear Friends, If one works for several years in higher education, it is a certainty he or she will have experienced what I like to call the vicissitudes of funding. In other words, the amount of money available to open the doors, fill the seats, and operate is changeable, usually within a reasonable range of variability. During my 32 years in senior administration, funding has been pretty stable within such a range . until recently. Now budget cuts prompted by the sluggish national economy and the resultant shortfalls in state revenues remind me of the surf. As one retreating wave drags sand and shells into the ocean, the next wave rolls in steeper and crashes harder. We’ve cut millions because of four mid-term reductions this year alone, and almost surely there are more rollbacks on the way. Believe it or not, many higher education colleagues in other states are facing even worse situations. Though managing for stability and quality in a long and deep recession is difficult, it is unquestionably worth the time and energy everyone is giving. When you see students graduating and taking the first steps toward career success, you know the teaching, research, and service of the university deserve our best efforts. As you read the contents of this alumni magazine, you will enjoy a small sampling of the many accomplishments, events, and developments happening at your university. Every day I remind folks that despite the budget reductions, more than 90 percent of our funding resources are intact and our organization is strong. We are fortunate to have a history of sound operations and a resilient team of faculty and staff. We’re also fortunate to have generous alumni and friends. At the Delta State Foundation and the Delta State Alumni Association giving has never been better. Folks know it is time to help with scholarships and unrestricted gifts available for the areas of greatest need. We are very grateful to everyone whose heart and billfold open a little wider these days to help us meet our challenges. All the best to you for a pleasant and productive summer! Visit when you can. Sincerely, John M. Hilpert President 2 • Delta State Magazine • Spring 2010 Alumni Message Dear Alumni and Friends: Just the other day, a friend of mine asked me, “Why do you spend so much time with Delta State?” The answer to that question is very simple. Like most of you, I love our University, and I want it to continue to be the jewel in the Delta that we all know it to be. I loved my time at Delta State, and I want to see other students enjoy similar experiences. I simply feel that it is our duty to give back to the University who has given us so much. We have a very ambitious year planned for your Alumni Association. We have over twenty-five chapter meetings planned for the upcoming year, as well as our special events for Spring Sports Weekend in Cleveland, New York City, Atlanta, and Lake Tiak-O’khata. I have had the pleasure of meeting a great number of you when I have visited the local chapters, and the enthusiasm that everyone brings for our alma mater is refreshing. I am pleased to report that membership in the Alumni Association is at an all- time high, and that the Statesmen Nation is alive and well. I cannot say “thank you” enough to all of our many friends and volunteers who have helped our Alumni Association continue to grow and prosper. I am sure that a great number of you have heard or read about the great challenges that our University is facing in these tough economic times. However, I want to personally encourage each of you to remain positive about our University, and to continue to do your part to make it grow. While many of you lend important and significant specific support to the University throughout the year, please know that one of the greatest gifts you can give the University is your loyalty. I have said it at countless chapter meetings in the last fourteen months, but in my mind, the single greatest marketing tool this University possesses is each alumni’s individual support. When a friend or colleague inquires of you where you went to school, I want you to stick out your chest with pride and say, “Delta State University.” Please recommend a potential student to our recruiting office. Please continue to do your part to help further the legacy of our great university. Your continued good work “in the field” will only further our mission of being one of America’s greatest regional universities. It continues to be an honor to serve all of you as your National Alumni Association President. I look forward to seeing all of you in the year ahead. Go Statesmen! All my best, JoJohnohhn CC..

  • Replacing Russell Martin
    Replacing Russell Martin Russell Martin, the New York Yankees' catcher during the last two years, left the Yankees to sign as a free agent with the Pittsburgh Pirates. To the ears of most Yankee fans, this sounds incongruous. The Pirates are a team from whom the Yankees sign free agents, not a team that signs away valuable Yankee players. When people think of great Yankee traditions, they often think of centerfield, where three Hall of Famers, albeit one (Earle Combs) who is a borderline case, played that position for most of the years from the mid-1920s through the mid-1960s, and where another great player, Bernie Williams, played for much of the Yankees' latest run of greatness. However, the Yankee tradition at catcher has also been very strong. Hall of Famers Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra held that position down for most of the 30s-50s, while other great players like Elston Howard, Thurman Munson and Jorge Posada have been integral parts of many great Yankee teams. Martin obviously is not part of that tradition, but he is a useful player who will not be easy to replace. Martin is not a great all around player. He is a lifetime .260 hitter who has not even managed to hit that well since 2008. Martin draws most of his value from being able to do two things well, play defense and hit for power. During his two years with the Yankees he has hit 39 home runs, and did solid work behind the plate. He has also drew 103 walks during his two years in pinstripes, which has also bolstered his offensive contributions.

NO. 2:65-CV-31-DMB BOLIVAR COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, et al. DEFENDANTS OPINION AND ORDER On May 17, 1954, the United States Supreme Court issued the landmark decision of Brown v. Board of Education, holding that “in the field of public education the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place.” 347 U.S. 483, 495 (1954) (“Brown I”). A year later, on May 31, 1955, the Supreme Court issued a second order directing compliance with Brown I “with all deliberate speed.” Brown v. Bd. of Educ., 349 U.S. 294, 301 (1955) (“Brown II”). Ten years after Brown II, residents of Bolivar County, Mississippi, filed this now fifty-year-old action seeking the desegregation of their school system. After decades of litigation, this case is currently before the Court for the determination of an appropriate desegregation remedy for the high schools and middle schools in the Cleveland School District (“District”) in Bolivar County. Case: 2:65-cv-00031-DMB-JMV Doc #: 215 Filed: 05/13/16 2 of 96 PageID #: 4393 Upon consideration of the parties’ proposed desegregation plans, the Court concludes that, in order to achieve constitutionally-required desegregation, the District must consolidate its high schools and must consolidate its middle schools.

  • Billy Parker a Country Music Mainstay with 20+ Charted Singles, but Most Influencial In His Roll As Radio Disc Jockey.
    Billy Parker A country music mainstay with 20+ charted singles, but most influencial in his roll as radio disc jockey. Chapter 01 – 1:40 Introduction Announcer: While Billy Parker was a mainstay on country radio, his claim to fame was as an influential disc jockey, not as a performer. Ionically, for all of the Top 40 Country Hits he spun over the course of his decades on the air, not one of them was his own. Born July 19, 1939, in Tuskegee, OK, he began playing guitar as a child and by the age of 14 had made his professional debut on the Tulsa radio program Big Red Jamboree. A few years later, he began performing in clubs and in 1959 landed his first DJ work. By 1963, Billy was the regular daytime disc jockey on KFDI in Wichita, Kansas and also hosted a Tulsa television program. In the same year, he cut his first single, and was named “Mr. DJ U.S.A.” in a nationwide poll, which helped land him at Nashville, Tennessee’s WSM. After his 1966 release “I’m Drinking All the Time”, Parker began playing with Ernest Tubb’s Troubadours in 1968, staying with the group for three years, when he joined Tulsa’s KVOO. Billy was named Disc Jockey of the Year by the Academy of Country & Western Music in 1975 and he won the award again in 1977, 1978, and 1984. In 1976, he scored his first chart hit with “It’s Bad When You’re Caught (With the Goods),” from the album Average Man.

  • SF Giants Press Clips Monday, August 27, 2018
    SF Giants Press Clips Monday, August 27, 2018 San Francisco Chronicle Giants’ Bochy: Rookie Aramis Garcia ‘ready to catch here’ Henry Schulman The Giants’ tradition of shifting coaches and executives to new responsibilities rather than firing them does pay dividends. One example is former first-base coach Bill Hayes, whom they retained as a minor-league catching instructor. Hayes worked extensively with Aramis Garcia this season, helping the 25-year-old improve his defense, the weaker part of his game early in his development. That helped Garcia get to the majors for the first time Sunday to take Buster Posey’s roster spot. “I credit a lot of the defense to Bill Hayes,” Garcia said. “Defensively, this is the best I’ve caught in my career, and that gives me a lot of confidence.” Manager Bruce Bochy said Giants evaluators have reported improvement in Garcia’s ball blocking, receiving and throwing. “He’s ready to catch here,” Bochy said. “His hitting is a work in progress.” Garcia, the club’s second-round draft pick in 2014, batted .233 with 11 homers in 80 games for Double-A Richmond, Va., where he spent most of the season. In 10 Triple-A games, he hit .237 with one extra-base hit in 38 at-bats. Do not expect to see much of Garcia on the field in the short term. His matriculation to the majors will involve a lot of discussions with new starter Nick Hundley and lessons on how the catchers, pitchers and coaches go over hitters before a game. Bochy will have Garcia sit alongside bullpen catcher Eli Whiteside during games to analyze what they are seeing.
