  • Hank Huckaby As Chancellor Links 4-11
    HANK HUCKABY AS CHANCELLOR LINKS 4-11 Regents expected to tap Huckaby as chancellor –ABH- 4.22.11 http://onlineathens.com/stories/042211/new_818448029.shtml ……..Huckaby, a graduate of Young Harris College and Georgia State University, served as state budget director under Gov. Zell Miller and vice president for finance and administration at the University of Georgia. He was elected to the state House of Representatives in November in the district that includes Oconee and parts of Clarke, Oglethorpe and Morgan counties. If he is made chancellor, Huckaby will have to resign his House seat because state employees cannot serve in the legislature. A special election could be held June 21 or Sept. 20 to fill the vacancy. Several political observers said that Oconee County Commission Chairman Melvin Davis would have the inside track if he chooses to run for Huckaby's House seat. "I hope Melvin Davis seriously considers it," Oglethorpe County Commission Chairman Billy Pittard said. "I think he'd win. He'd be good for Oglethorpe County as well as Oconee County." Davis said he is "giving it serious consideration at this time." Former state Rep. Bob Smith, who retired from the seat last year to focus on his real estate business, also is rumored to be considering running again, but did not return a telephone call seeking comment. Smith, the former chairman of the House Appropriations Higher Education Subcommittee, also sought the chancellor's job. Kirk Shook , a North Oconee High School teacher and chairman of the Oglethorpe County Republicans, said he is considering running for the seat again.

  • Murder on the Appalachian Trail Paul David Crews In
    Murder on the Appalachian Trail Paul David Crews In September of 1990, a young couple, Geoffrey Hood (26) and Molly LaRue (25), set out to hike Appalachian Trail. Hood was from Shaker Heights, Ohio, and LaRue was from Signal Mountain, Tennessee.1 They both worked for an organization that took troubled kids on “wilderness” trips to “challenge them and counsel them”, but they had left their jobs to hike the Appalachian Trail .2 About halfway through their hike, Hood and LaRue crossed paths with Paul David Crews. Crews was a wanted criminal in the state of Florida for a murder he committed in 1986. Crews brutally murdered Hood and LaRue at a trailside shelter near the Susquehanna River. Crews shot Hood three times, and “bound, tortured and raped” LaRue before stabbing her eight times in the throat and back until she died.3 Another hiker, Brian Bowen, and his wife found the bodies on September 13, 1990. Bowen said LaRue’s body was “lying amid scattered camping equipment, naked, hands tied behind her back, head bloodied”, and he immediately notified the police of the murder.4 The West Virginia Police found Crews eight days later with Hood’s backpack and the murder weapons, a”.22 caliber revolver and a knife.”5 In New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, the Perry County courthouse convicted Crews of two accounts of first­degree murder, and Crews received the death sentence. However, in 2006, Crews’ sentence was replaced with two consecutive life sentences without the ability to have parole.6 1 Nussbaum, Paul. “Backpacker Tells Of Finding Hikers’ Bodies.” Philly.com.

  • The Classicists of Ohio Wesleyan University: 1844-2014 © Donald Lateiner 2014
    The Classicists of Ohio Wesleyan University: 1844-2014 © Donald Lateiner 2014 When Ohio Wesleyan could hire only four professors to teach in Elliott Hall (and there was yet no other building), one of the four professors taught Latin and another taught Ancient Greek. This I was told in 1979, when I arrived at Sturges Hall to teach the Classics. True or not,1 the story reflects the place of Greek and Latin in the curriculum of the mid-1800s. Our first graduate, William Godman, followed the brutally demanding “classical course.” The percentage of faculty teaching Greek and Latin steadily declined in the Nineteenth and most of the Twentieth century. New subjects and new demands attracted Wesleyan students. Currently we descry another Renaissance of antiquity at Ohio Wesleyan in Classical Studies. Sturges Hall itself was opened in 1855, its original function, as you see in the photo on the left, to serve the campus as library with alcoves divided by subject. Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams studied and revered Greek and Roman writers, their demanding languages, and their culture. Ben Franklin was not interested. For many decades, mere admission to Harvard College required a solid knowledge of Greek and Latin. One of Ohio’s sons who became President of the United States, James A. Garfield, was both a student and a teacher of Greek and Latin. Legend holds that he could write Greek with one hand, Latin with the other--at the same time. I doubt it, but Thucydides tells us humans usually doubt that others can achieve what they know they cannot.

    EchoF Aes L L 2 0 0 8 FROMTHEPRESIDENT Dear YHC Family and Friends: ummer was anything but a vacation here at YHC! It was great to have hundreds of alumni, friends and families S back on campus for homecoming, and especially meaningful to combine this annual gathering with my formal inauguration as your 21st president. I wanted the weekend to be a celebration of YHC’s rich history and exciting future. I think we accomplished that! My sincere thanks to all who participated in the inauguration and homecoming programs and to all on campus who planned the events and worked so hard to make sure everything flowed smoothly. I also wanted the weekend to benefit YHC, so we combined a great alumni evening with a benefit dinner to raise funds for enhancing the beauty of the campus and planting trees—21 native specimens that will honor the 21 presidents of the college.We raised more than $10,000 in our Gala for Green and will start planting three groves of beautiful, large trees in the spring. If you missed homecoming weekend, you also missed a great opportunity to reflect on our past, present and future. We honored the decades of service by Dr. and Mrs. Harry Hill by naming our newest residence hall for them, we recognized the achievements of many alumni at our Gala for Green, we paid tribute to more than 40 years of dedicated service by the Mullins family, and we looked ahead by breaking ground on a 200-bed residence hall. It was a great weekend of celebration.
