The batons are carried by members of the faculty who are serving as marshals. Marshals’ Gowns The gowns worn by the marshals are of the traditional University color, cardinal red. Honor Stoles White or cardinal stoles denote students who are candidates for University Honors. Cardinal represents Honors (cum laude) and white represents High Honors (magna cum laude). White stoles with cardinal and white cords represent Highest Honors (summa cum laude). The University Song In 1909 a prize of fifty dollars was offered for the best poem relating to the University of Arkansas that should be capable of being set to music and used as a college song. Out of many entries, that of Mr. Brodie Payne, ’1906, of Hot Springs won the prize. The words were set to music by Professor H. D. Tovey, Director of the Conservatory of Music and Art at the University. Academic Regalia The styles of gowns differentiate degree level. Trim of doctoral gowns indicates nature of degree (black or royal blue — Ph.D.; light blue — Ed.D.). Certain members of the faculty wear distinctive gowns and hoods authorized by their doctoral institutions. The lining of the hood denotes the

The challenges presented by the pandemic have further accelerated what we already knew to be true: the world our students enter upon graduation requires a different level of preparation than what we have traditionally provided to them. I am reminded of the parent who once stopped me at a store to share his frustrations about his daughter’s inability to find a job after successfully graduating from one of our CTE programs.

    Bellator MMA Signs the Unmistakable Kimbo Slice to a Multi-Fight Contract

    He’s Back! Bellator MMA signs the unmistakable Kimbo Slice to a multi-fight contract SANTA MONICA – (January 16, 2015) The legend of Kimbo is back on Spike. One of MMA’s most recognizable names, the wildly popular former internet sensation Kimbo Slice has signed an exclusive, multi-fight deal with Bellator MMA and will make his promotional debut later this year. Bellator officially announced the signing moments ago on Spike TV during the “Bellator: Pitbull vs. Straus” event when Bellator’s Jimmy Smith caught up with the Miami slugger via Skype (#technology). “I’ve been trying to keep busy as much as possible,” said Slice. “Been boxing over the past couple of years. My current record [as a boxer] is 7-0. Bellator is up there in the tops and they’re giving me the opportunity to fight on primetime and Spike TV. You know you can’t resist Spike TV. “You gotta think, I’m still hungry out there. I haven’t got my fill yet. Whoever steps up to the plate, they got to bring it. I’m comin to get it.” “Anyone who has been to a Kimbo Slice fight has felt a thick, electric, tension in the air,” said Bellator President Scott Coker. “The man has a proven knack for evoking excitement every time he steps inside a cage, and that fits perfectly with the kind of fights we aim to put together.” Born in the Bahamas and raised in Florida, Slice started his combat sports career on the streets of Miami, where he competed in unsanctioned prize fights on camera.

Alabama and Mississippi emerged as pioneers in the founding of state archives in 1901 and 1902 respectively, representing a growing awareness of the importance of pre­ serving historical records. American historians trained in Ger­ many had recently introduced the United States to the applica­ tion of scientific method to history.
