However, there are a growing number of nontraditional Wundergraduate students who have delayed their college education to pursue job opportunities, raise families, or serve in the military. This issue highlights several such individuals. In this issue, we also highlight faculty members Mary Holcomb and Mike Ehrhardt and donor couples Larry and Jane Martin and Gene and Libby Seymour. We are pleased to showcase their respective excellence in this setting. Their stories are both touching and inspiring. This issue also provides an update on cross-campus entrepreneurial activities supported by the Anderson Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation; presents faculty, staff, and students honored this year by the college and the university; and lists the members of our 2013 Advisory Council to the Dean. Finally, the issue includes a few of my thoughts on the college and management education. I am honored to serve as dean of UT’s College of Business Administration. In doing so, I appreciate and admire the legacy of prior deans, Warren Neel and Jan Williams being the most recent. Through their leadership and the efforts of numerous faculty and staff, the college is well-positioned to serve the needs of organizations and their leadership teams through the thought leadership of our faculty and the value-producing capabilities of our graduates. Thank you for your continuing engagement in the college and its activities. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 865-974-5061. Stephen L.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Brought to You by Emporia Main Street and the Freedom Fest Committee
    Veterans Downtown Banner Project Brought to you by Emporia Main Street and The Freedom Fest Committee. Kenneth L Ace: Drafted into the US Army in August 1943, four months after his son was born. His basic train- ing was in Fort Knox, Kentucky. He became a member of the 1st Calvary Division, which was a tank division. They spent their tour of duty in the Philippine Islands and New Guinea. While enlisted he achieved the rank of Staff Sergeant. He left the Pacific area on November 11,1945 and was reunited with his wife and his son on Christ- mas eve 1945. He said often that he owed his life to President Truman for ordering the bombs to be dropped on Japan. Banner sponsored by Dr. Gary Ace. Zoe B Albers: Zoe B. Albers joined the United States Navy like his father before him. He was attending - what was then the Kansas State Teachers College - here in Emporia when the Vietnam War became a reality for him as it did for many young people. He reported to boot camp in December of 1972 and by July 1973 he was aboard the USS Sterrett in the Gulf of Tonkin, Vietnam. He was a Gunners Mate; servicing all the 3"50, 5”54 gun mounts and small arm maintenance. He cleaned them, assisted with them and fired them when needed. At night he could see the firing happening on the mainland and when all was quiet he could find his thoughts drifting to thoughts of home; to what his everyday life use to be.

  • 1942 Hickory Rebels ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com They Saved the Worst for Last
    TEAM SNAPSHOT: 1942 Hickory Rebels ©DiamondsintheDusk.com They saved the worst for last. August 29, 1942 Hickory Rebels at Thomasville Tommies What begins as a research project on the 1942 North Carolina State League turned into a short Finch Field, Thomasville, N.C. research project on the hapless Hickory Rebels and their season-ending 26-game losing streak accented (with an exclamation mark) by a 23-0 loss to Thomasville on the season’s final day. Managed by the popular (at least at the start of the season) 42-year-old veteran pitcher Charles “Bud” Shaney, the hapless Rebels finish the season with the worst record in organized baseball that season (18-80) and a distant 47 games behind the first-place Concord Weavers. What makes their record even more amazing is that Hickory actu- ally starts the season out fairly well, standing at 7-7 on May 27. But due to an already thin talent pool made even more thin by various players reporting for military duty, the Rebels will win only 11 times over their last 84 games for a .130 winning percentage. A total of 55 players will suit up for Hickory that summer, includ- Bud Shaney ing one player, locally-grown catcher Pat Burris, making it as the “Struttin’ Bud” Shaney is named the major leagues. Rebels’ manager on April 6, a full month later than any other North Carolina State League manager. A 223-game winner in Back in the ranks of professional baseball following a one-year 21 minor league seasons, Shaney’s eight hiatus, and for only the third time in the town’s history, Hickory’s Hickory saves the worst for last, losing 23-0 wins account for 44 percent of the team’s admittance into the six-year-old North Carolina State League to the Thomasville Tommies on the final 18 wins on the season.
