SCHREINER UNIVERSITY THEATRE DEPT. TO PERFORM "OUR TOWN"

The Schreiner University Theatre Department will present the play, "Our Town," at 7:30 p.m. April 10­12 in the Hanszen Fine Arts Center on the Schreiner campus. The public is invited, admission is free and seating is first-come, first-served.

SCHREINER UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCES 2003 ATHLETIC HALL OF HONOR INDUCTEES

Schreiner University has announced its 2003 Athletic Hall of Honor inductees. They are Raymond Berry '51, Roland Ingram '62, Dr. Charles Johnson '58, the late H.N. "Jack" Stevens '24 and Bill Thompson '51.

Schreiner will honor the inductees, along with two Distinguished Alumni, during a recognition banquet at 6 p.m. April 3 at the Floyd A. and Kathleen C. Cailloux Campus Activity Center. The public is invited to attend. Cost is $40 per person call 830/792-7201 by April 1.

Schreiner created the Athletic Hall of Honor this year to celebrate former students' athletic achievements during their years at Schreiner and afterward.

Berry played football at Schreiner Institute in 1950, helping the team finish its most successful season in 10 years with a record of 7­3. He then played football at Southern Methodist University, before being drafted into the NFL by the Baltimore Colts in 1955. During his 13 years as wide receiver for the Colts, he was a member of two world championship teams.

When he retired, he had caught more passes- a then-record 631 than any other player in pro football history. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame five years after he retired.

Berry coached in the NFL for 19 years, including six seasons as head coach of the New England Patriots. He led the team to five playoff games, an AFC East Division title, an AFC championship and a Super Bowl. In 1985, he was selected NFL coach of the year by The Vince Lombardi Committee.

Ingram attended Schreiner Institute for one year but during that time he left his mark as one of Schreiner's tennis legends. He helped lead the 1962 SI team to the 1962 National Junior College Team Championship, where the team captured the title. Ingram was both the singles and doubles champion at the tournament.

After leaving Schreiner Institute, attended North Texas State University, where he earned his bachelor's and master's degrees. He coached at Amarillo High School from 1966 to 1973; coached at Midland College from 1973 to 1974; was the tennis pro at Amarillo Town Club from 1974 to 1975; and was the tennis pro at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth from 1976 to 1983.

In 1983, Ingram was hired as the head women's tennis coach at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. While coaching at TCU, he was named Southwest Conference Coach of the Year in 1986 and 1991; Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 2000 and 2001; Southwest Regional Coach of the Year in 2001; and Conference USA Coach of the Year in 2002. He was inducted into the Texas Tennis Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1995. Under his leadership, the TCU women's tennis team was named conference champions in 1991, 2000, 2001 and 2002. Ingram retired in 2002, after 19 years at TCU.

"Schreiner was very special. It was the right school at the right time for me. I don't think I would have finished college if I had gone to any other school," said Ingram, who lives in Fort Worth. "I would not have met: Dr. Edington who had the faith in me to admit me as the first ex-serviceman to school, Mr. Hammond whose wisdom and patience allowed me to pass physics, Mr. Wilbourn who taught me that history was filled with real people who had something to teach to future generations, Mr. Ainsworth who made me fall in love with literature and drama, and especially Mr. Becker who taught me more by example than any other person in my life."

Johnson played football, basketball and golf at Schreiner Institute from 1956 to 1958. He then attended New Mexico State University, where he was quarterback of the football team. His college career included two consecutive Sun Bowl victories and an undefeated 11-0 record in 1960. The team recorded 23 wins and only nine losses during Johnson's three years. His jersey number33 is the only number ever retired in more than 105 years of New Mexico State football.

While at NMSU, Johnson continued his military training that began at Schreiner and was the Army ROTC Cadet Commander one semester. He was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant after graduating with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering.

Johnson then played 15 years as an NFL quarterback in St. Louis, Houston and Denver. He was selected for the NFL Pro Bowl in 1963 and was named AFC All Conference in 1973. He started in more than 110 games, winning 65 of those. During his pro career, Johnson continued his education and received his master's and doctoral degrees from Washington University in St. Louis. He also served two years on active duty assigned to NASA in Virginia. He was honorably discharged as a Captain, USAR.

After 30 years of working in private business in Houston, Johnson returned to New Mexico State in January 2000 as professor and head of the department of engineering. He has been inducted into the Big Spring High Hall of Fame, NMSU Hall of Fame, Sun Bowl Legends and the Denver Bronco Ring of Fame.
" I have said for years that Schreiner had a huge impact on my life and education," said Johnson, who lives in Mesilla, N.M. "At Schreiner, I learned to discipline myself to study as was necessary in a tight, military-based schedule. And, I learned how to study from a very demanding, but caring and supportive faculty."

Stevens was quarterback and captain of Schreiner Institute's first football team, scoring the team's first touchdown during a Sept. 28, 1923, game against Junction.

On Feb. 13, 1924, Stevens married Dorothy Doyle of Kerrville, left Schreiner and began his 40-year career working at the Fawcett Furniture Company. He was active in the Kiwanis Club, Chamber of Commerce and Appliance Dealers Association of Kerrville.

"The letter I received from (then Schreiner Institute president) Dr. J.J. Delaney in the spring of 1923 probably did more to change my life than any other one thing," Stevens was quoted as saying in a 1980 SCENE magazine article.  Stevens died on Dec. 5, 1983, at the age of 79.
 
Thompson was quarterback at Schreiner Institute from 1949 to 1951. He helped his 1950 team finish with a 6-2 season. After leaving SI, Thompson attended Sam Houston State College, where he led his team to two championships and two bowl games. Thompson graduated from Sam Houston with bachelor's and master's degrees.

After graduation, Thompson coached football at high schools in Hallettsville, Livingston and Vidor. In 1962, Thompson and his family moved to Baytown, where he coached at Horace Mann Junior School. In 1968, he became the defensive coordinator at Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown.

In 1969, he helped lead the Lee Ganders to their first district title in a decade. The Ganders went to the regional finals in 1970, were co-champs in 1973, district champs in 1976 and regional champs in 1979. (Sports reporters have named that 1979 game against La Porte as one of the "Ten Best Games of the Decade," with the Ganders winning 30-28.) Thompson retired from coaching in 1985.

"The advantages Schreiner offered its students were many. The campus was small and friendly. The professors were helpful and caring. The distractions were few, therefore, grades and study habits become very important. The friendships made there have lasted a lifetime. We look forward to returning to campus Recall every year," said Thompson, who lives in Baytown.

Schreiner University prayer service comforts community as war begins

On Thursday, the first full day of the war in Iraq, Schreiner
University invited the community to join its students, faculty and staff in a prayer service in Dietert Auditorium.

President Summerlin welcomed attendees, noting that "Schreiner University does not characteristically make institutional statements on political issues. However," he said, "as our nation and its allies are engaged in war with Iraq, we, in the spirit of the values on which we are founded, do affirm the following.

We pray for wisdom for our leaders as they make decisions in difficult times. We pray for the safety of our armed services and for success in freeing the people of Iraq from an oppressive dictator. We pray for a speedy end to this conflict and for a resolution that truly promotes the freedom and welfare of the Iraqi people. We pray for our race, the human race, that it may grow in the conviction that peace/shalom/salaam is ultimately the only way for us to reflect God's image."

Schreiner senior Corrie Desmuke gave a reading from the Old Testament, and Assistant Director for Plant Operations Milton Wilson read from the New Testament. Associate Professor of Information Systems and Mathematics Susan Sliva, Dean of the School of Liberal Arts Dr. John Huddleston, and Logan Library Cataloging Services Manager Ylanda Copeland offered prayers for peace and protection. Campus Minister Dr. Loren Scribner closed the service with a benediction.

Schreiner is related to the Presbyterian Church (USA) by choice and by covenant.

NATIONALLY-KNOWN ATTORNEY TO SPEAK AT SCHREINER UNIVERSITY

Nationally-known attorney Dr. Sarah Weddington will speak on “Women in Leadership” at 7 p.m. March 27 in the Cailloux Campus Activity Center on the Schreiner University campus.

Weddington successfully argued the landmark case, Roe v. Wade, before the United States Supreme Court in 1973. She is thought to be the youngest woman ever to win a case in the Supreme Court—she was 26 at the time.

Weddington is particularly well-known for her work on issues affecting women through her many roles as attorney, legislator, presidential advisor, professor and expert called upon by the national media.

In 1972, she was the first woman from Austin to be elected to the Texas House of Representatives. She served three terms before becoming the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s General Counsel in 1977, the first woman to ever hold that position.

From 1978 to 1981, Weddington served as Assistant to the President of the United States. She was designated by President Carter to direct the Administration’s work on women’s issues and leadership outreach. As the first woman director of the Texas Office of State-Federal Relations from 1983 to 1985, she was the chief lobbyist in Washington, D.C., for the state.

Weddington is the author of the best-seller, “A Question of Choice,” which details the Roe v. Wade case. She is currently working on her next book on the topic of leadership and self-renewal.

Currently, she is an adjunct associate professor at the University of Texas at Austin, where she teaches Gender-Based Discrimination and Leadership in America.

She holds honorary doctorates from McMurry University, Hamilton College, Austin College, Southwestern University and Nova Southeastern University. She received her J.D. degree from the University of Texas School of Law in 1967.

Weddington has received numerous honors and awards, including Texas Lawyer’s “One of the Most Influential Lawyers of the 20th Century” (2000), the Houston Chronicle’s “The Tallest Texans–Those who left their mark on Texas and the rest of the world in the 20th Century” (2000) and the Chamber of Commerce of Texas’ “Texas Woman of the Century” (1999). She has been featured in such publications as Working Women, People Magazine and the Washington Post and has been a guest on such programs as The Today Show, Good Morning America and CBS Morning News.

The program, which is co-sponsored by Student Activities and the Speaking Truth to Power Series, is free and open to the public.  Click to visit her website!

"Ways of Violence" topic at Schreiner University International Peacemaker lecture

The Rev. Pablo Jose Noguera Guevaca, an International Peacemaker from Bogotá, Colombia, will speak on "Ways of Violence" at Schreiner University Wednesday, March 26, 2003, at 7 p.m., on campus in the Floyd and Kathleen Cailloux Activity Center. The public is invited and admission is free.

Though seldom in the news in the American media, Colombia has been a country racked by raging internal conflicts for decades.

The Roman Catholic bishop, the Rev. Desiderio Orjuela, was kidnapped in November by armed men posing as civilians in a rural area not far from the capital, Bogota. He was rescued four days later by the Colombian military.

Armed forces, guerrilla groups, and paramilitary forces have terrorized the population and keep the country in a state of chaos. The U.S. has provided financial aid and military assistance in an effort to fight the drug trade which Colombian terrorists, rebels, military and farmers reportedly profit from. It is in this atmosphere of armed conflict and unwillingness to compromise that the church in Colombia continues to seek peace and to minister to the victims of the violence.

Born in Valencia, Venezuela, Noguera is intimately aware of the lives of the ordinary people throughout Colombia. He was sent by his home church in 1986 to Bogotá, Colombia, to study at the Presbyterian Theological Seminary. After seminary he received his master's degree in education at Javeriana University in Bogotá.

He worked for eight years as chaplain in the Presbyterian American High School in Bogotá before becoming the executive secretary of Central Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in Colombia. Besides administration, his duties include extensive travel that puts him into contact with schools, congregations, and many women's groups, and local pastors.

For more information about Noguera¹s lecture, contact Schreiner University campus minister, the Rev. Dr. Loren Scribner, at 792-7284 or e-mail him at scribner@schreiner.edu.

SU Theatre Dept. To Host Readers Theatre

KERRVILLE, Texas— Schreiner University's Theatre Department will host a Readers Theatre on March 3 in the Hanszen Fine Arts Building on the Schreiner campus. Sophomore Emily Houghton (pictured, left) will direct the play, “Weird Sisters” by Kimberley Lynne.

“Weird Sisters” takes place in 1623, seven years after William Shakespeare’s death. Shakespeare’s oldest daughter, Susanna (played by Schreiner senior Corrie Desmuke), wants to travel to London to have her father’s plays published. However, a woman traveling alone at that time was a great risk to thievery. So she disguises herself as a man and consults her father’s plays for tips on traveling as a man.

“Weird Sisters” features nine Shakespearean women monologues—Portia from “The Merchant of Venice” (read by Houghton); Rosalind from “As You Like It” (April Garcia); Kate from “The Taming of the Shrew” (Chandra Bennett); Desdemona from “Othello” (Tina Austin); Juliet from “Romeo and Juliet” (Houghton); Cordelia from “King Lear” (Austin); Beatrice from “Much Ado About Nothing” (Bennett); Lady Macbeth from “Macbeth” (Garcia); and Portia from “Julius Caeser” (Houghton).

‘Weird Sisters” displays a wide variety of emotion—some of the women are humorous, some are really angry,” said Houghton, a theater major at Schreiner. “It has a really good variety of Shakespeare’s plays including some women you don’t normally hear from.”

The Readers Theatre is free and open to the public. Guests are invited to arrive at 6:30 p.m. for a brown-bag dinner (refreshments and dessert provided); the play will start at 7 p.m.

The event is part of the Theatre Department's First Monday Series. For more information, call Theatre Professor Dr. Claudia Sullivan at 792-7401.

Local accounting firm accrues SU grads

Schreiner University's accounting graduates have been successful in finding good jobs pretty much wherever they desire: Houston, Dallas, Austin.

One of the happiest "couplings," though, is in Schreiner's own backyard. The Kerrville accounting firm, Davidson, Freedle, Espenhover and Overby, P.C., has hired three Schreiner graduates as staff accountants just in the past year.

____________________

John Jones, Dean of Schreiner University's Callioux School of Professional Studies; Samantha A. Taylor, Staff Accountant, SU alum; Lee Vanacker, Staff Accountant, SU alum; Richard B.Cox, Jr., Partner; Kerwin L. Overby, Partner; Gary A. Davidson, Partner; Sherrie E. Gold, Senior Manager; and Rachel Garrett, Staff Accountant, SU alum.

According to John Jones, dean of Schreiner University's Cailloux School of
Professional Studies, "Schreiner graduates about five accounting majors
every year. This firm is certainly getting the lions share," he says with a
grin. Jones also teaches much of Schreiner's accounting curriculum.

The partners at the local firm, Gary A. Davidson, CPA; Patrick L. Freedle,
CPA; Greg Espenhover, CPA; Kerwin L. Overby, CPA; and Richard B. Cox Jr.,
CPA, say they'll continue to recruit Schreiner first. Why? Proximity is the
simple answer, but the more accurate one could be described as community.

"We are very pleased with the quality of our Schreiner grads," says
Davidson. "They're well prepared, of course, and they fit in at the office.
What we particularly like about them is that they also fit into our
community so well." click to read more . . . >>
