At the time that this issue of the Ouachita Circle goes to press--just before the beginning of the fall term -- it appears that we are on the verge of receiving one of the largest classes of new students in our history. Of a projected 824 applicants, we will admit and enroll approximately 500 new Ouachitonians. The five-year history of our application count is illus­ trated in this chart.

This new class will include 15 Arkansas Governor's Scholars (making Ouachita second only to the University of Arkansas in the preference of Governor's Scholars), and a record number of National Merit Finalists.

I've often characterized Ouachita as one of the best-kept secrets in higher education. From the appearance of these dramatic figures during an era of declining enrollments at many colleges across the country, the days of Ouachita's relative obscurity would seem to be in the past.

Telling secrets isn't always bad. Thanks for your help in telling the secret of Ouachita to these entering students and their parents.

Sincerely,

The renovation ofCone- Bot­ toms Hall into an administration building was assured inJuly when Ouachita claimed a $500,000 matching grant from the Mabee Foundation of Tulsa, Okla. Andy Westmoreland, vice president for development, an­ nounced that the Cone-Bottoms renovationgoalof$2,325,750had been surpassed. Including the Mabee Grant, gifts and pledges for Cone-Bottoms reached $2,329,988 by Aug. 1. "We are particularly pleased that so many alumni and friends participated in the Cone-Bottoms project," said Westmoreland. "Gifts and pledges were received from more than 450 alumni and friends, representing virtually ev­ ery graduating class from 1912 to 1993." A groundbreaking ceremony for the project will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 13 as part ofOuachita's homecoming activi­ ties. Construction will begin in late fall. The 70-year old building served as a women's dormitory until the mid-1980s.

By Stephanie Turnage

When I was born. I had a dog who was not only a pet but also a babysitter. Her name was Shadow, and she was a full-blooded Gennan Shepherd. Shadow was born in Gennany and trained as an anny dog. Her owners brought her to the United States with them but were later reassigned to another country and were unable to take Shadow with them. Through a friend, my parents were able to buy Shadow. She was an excellent guard dog, and my dad felt better about leaving my mom alone when he ha~ to work at night with Shadow there. My dad owned a drug store, and many times when he had to work late, he would take Shadow with bim. I remember my dad telling me about a time when Shadow caught a burglar at the drug store. My dad was leaving the store, about to lock up, when Shadow began barking and trying to break loose from her rope. She was looking up at the ceiling, having a fit. It turned out that there was a burglar on the ceiling, trying to come through the roof. Shadow kept him trapped in the ceiling until the police arrived. Another story about Shadow occurred one night while my dad was working late. Shadow was at the drug store that night, too. A woman carne in and requested some type of medicine, and my dad was helping her locate it. She reached for the medicine on a high shelf, and when Shadow saw this, she began barking and raring up on her hind legs. My dad was standing next to the woman, and Shadow thought the woman was going to hit my dad on the head or hann him. Shadow had been trained to attack anything that was foreign to her. Anytime my mom buys something new, she has to take it to Shadow and let her smell of it so she will learn the new scent and not attack. One time, my mom bought a new trash can, and forgot to show it to Shadow. The next day, my mom found the trash can ripped to pieces. She tried to remember from then on to be sure to show her everything that was new. When my mom was buying the furniture for my nursery, she had to remember this important rule so Shadow would not tear It all up. I asked_m_y-mom if she had to show m-e to Shadow-when I was born! She said that Shadow was so protective of me, that she would never do anything to hann me. After I was born, she would sleep beside my baby bed every night to make sure nothing happened to me. Whenever people that she did not know carne to see me, my parents had to be sure to tell Shadow that it was alright for them to hold me. If they forgot to do this, she would have a fit and begin to attack whoever was holding me. The house that we lived in until I was two years old had a long porch with a big drop off to the ground. When I began walking and attempting to escape from Mom to go outside, Shadow would always go with me and walk along beside me, making sure I did not fall off the porch. Many times, if I escaped into the yard, she would follow me and hold onto my clothes to keep me near the house. She could keep a better eye on me than any babysitter could. The best memories I have of Shadow are of our watching television together, with me lying on her stomach as if it were a pillow. We spent hours together watching television. I also rode her around my house like a horse. I remember that instead of playing with a stick as most dogs do, she had a log that she carried around with her. I know more about Shadow from stories and pictures than memory since I was so young when we had her. She died when I was four years old. It was a big loss, and our family was not the same without her. Shadow was my childhood companion, and I loved her as much as a little girl could. She took such good care of me that she was not easily replaced. We have had several dogs since then, but none of them could ever replace her. I consider her my first best friend because I never went anywhere for a long period of time without her. She provided me with many hours of entertainment, and we all know how difficult it is to keep a child entertained for any length of time. Shadow was more than just a pet to my family; she was our protector, friend, companion, and playmate.
