New campus center rises from the ashes Page 2

A Letter from the PresidentDear Members of the Lyon Family,
What a difference a year makes. The Lyon community has just notedβnot celebratedβthe one year anniversary of the fire that destroyed Edwards Commons. Despite the major challenges this loss has imposed, I am thankful to report that Lyon continues to deliver a first-rate liberal arts education.
After months of eating in the small gym, the campus rejoiced at the opening of our new temporary dining facility, βThe Temp.β On October 21, the Board of Trustees was on hand for the official groundbreaking for the new campus center, which will provide more space for dining and student activities than we have ever had before. A gift of $10,000 or more earned several supporters the right to wield a shovel (see list of donors on the right). Representatives from RPPY Architects and East-Harding Construction Company assisted these donors.
At the beginning of fall semester, Dean Virginia Wray unveiled a new program to assist freshmen as they take on the demands of college coursework. The Supplemental Instruction Program, directed by Dr. Amy Schmidt, is built around upper-class students who serve as instruction leaders. Each leader must monitor a freshman core course and be prepared to meet weekly with freshmen seeking to improve their study techniques. These student leaders are not a replacement or substitute for the professors who teach the courses, but rather provide additional support and advice for new students who seek to develop necessary college survival skills.
This year, Lyon has also launched Lambda Delta, an honorary society designed to recognize academic achievements and leadership potential in first-year students. To be considered for admission, students must have a 3.5 grade point average or better. Dr. Wesley Beal, Dean Virginia Wray, and I took part in the first initiation ceremony for the society this fall, inducting 21 students who completed their freshman year in 2010-11. We look forward to the many ways this select organization will enrich the academic culture at Lyon.
As you can see, Lyon College remains dedicated to strengthening our educational community, which is already recognized as one of the best in the nation. As always, it is a joy to be part of the Lyon family.
Warmest regards,

Landon Downing remembers the sirens.Because they were distant at first, the Lyon
College junior thought nothing of the sounds. But ashe approached the collegeβs dining hall, EdwardsCommons, he could see smoke.
Soon those sirens were upon him.βThere were only ten or so students watching as
smoke came out of the windows,β Downing said. βIthought it was just a grease fire. Never could I haveimagined the building was actually burning.
βIn awe, we watched the fire engulf so many mem-ories,β he said. βThe fire was stealing a vital tool inthe community aspect of the college. Where wouldwe meet? Where would we eat? What would comenext?β
It has been one year since a four-alarm firedestroyed Edwards Commons, or Eds as it was affec-tionately called by faculty, staff, students, and alumni,on the Lyon College campus. Investigators have notreleased a cause of the fire. No one was injured in theincident.
Edwards Commons housed student life offices, abookstore, the Lyon Den snackbar, and a game roomin addition to the dining hall.
One year later, Edwards Commons has been lev-eled.
βThe loss of Eds was devastating, just as the loss ofany center of life for a family would be devastating,βsaid 1988 alumnus Donald Rogers. βThe Lyon familylost its living room for all practical purposes.β
College officials broke ground on the new 44,000-square-foot student center and dining hall Oct. 21.The two-story student center will include a 352-seatdining hall, a kitchen, a deck, The Scot Shop, a gam-ing center, health and wellness facilities, counselingoffices, the career development center, meetingspaces, student mailboxes, and a bistro.
βThis is an exciting moment,β Lyon College presi-dent Dr. Donald Weatherman said at the ground-breaking ceremony. βIt has been a year ago since fire

took down Edwards Commons. We have been work-ing diligently to try and come up with a replacement.β
If everything stays on schedule, the building willbe completed by the fall of 2012. The project isexpected to cost approximately $9.6 million. Fundingfor the new student center will come from insurance
proceeds from the Edwards Commons fire and fromdonations.

The college is currently using a 270-seat tempo-rary facility, know as The Temp, as the dining hall.

Lyon students remember Eds:βThatβs where we made friendsβ
By MOLLY YOUNG, β14Lyon CollegeOn Oct. 26, 2010, the Lyon community watched
as its beloved Edwards Commons burned down.President Donald Weathermanβs worried pacing setthe scene. Calls rushed in from worried family mem-bers, and hungry students watched the dining hall,along with their evening meal, go up in flames. Thiswas a year ago; today, only students from three classyears remain on the Lyon campus to remember thelost facility.
The student union, more com-monly known as Eds, opened dur-ing the fall of 1977. It was notuntil the fall semester of 1983 thatEdwards Dining Hall replaced theAlphin Building as Lyonβs diningfacility. John W. Edwards gave βthelargest gift for the dining hall pro-ject and the largest ever by aBatesville resident,β according toformer Lyon College professorBrook Blevinsβ history, LyonCollege 1872 - 2002.
When asked what theirfavorite memories from EdwardsCommons were, Lyon studentsremembered βstalking boys,ββsleeping on the little couches,βand, most frequently, playing tabletennis in the game room. The din-ing hall did not make the memo-ries; it was the setting where stu-dents and faculty members madetheir own. Sophomore StefArteaga made this clear when shesaid simply, βThatβs where wemade friends.β
Dean of Students BruceJohnston said that upon losingEdwards Commons, Lyon lost a
place for βdeveloping community,β a place where stu-dents could connect with others outside of class.
With the construction of the new campus center,which is expected to be completed by August 2012,this need will again be met. Dean Johnston also statesthat the naming of the facility has been postponed forβpart of the fundraising.β The naming opportunitystill exists for any person, foundation, or corporation

that wishes to make a generous donation. The new campus centerβs architect, Timothy
Yelvington of RPPY Architects, explains that thenew facility will serve to create a βconnection of thestudent living and academic/athletic areas on cam-pus.β It will house health facilities, Student Lifeoffices, an SGA office, and an office for the StudentActivities Council (SAC).
Along with these new additions, the facility willinclude some revived elements of Edwards Commons,such as the Lyon Den. Other areas will be improvedupon; the serving area will have a βbetter flowβaccording to Yelvington, to supplement the largerdining hall.
Upon student recommendation, the designincludes an abundance of natural lighting, more lock-ers for commuter students, an outdoor performancespace, and display cases for student works. The build-ing will also house an ATM near the student mail-boxes, and Dean Johnston expressed interest inobtaining a Redbox movie rental machine for thebuilding.
The new facility will also implement βgreenβbuilding elements. Yelvington listed βhigh efficientglazing, automatic lighting controls and high efficientlamps, [and] a building management systemβ amongthe projectβs steps toward a more eco-friendly build-ing.
Overall, Dean Johnston stresses that the newfacility will be βa much more modern facility,β moreappropriate for todayβs student body.
On the morning of Oct. 21, 2011, students gath-
ered to pay tribute to Edwards Commonsβ 33 years ofservice. The groundbreaking ceremony for the newcampus center was held later that day.

Chimney Rock Cattle Company, nestled in themountains of northeast Arkansas and home to one ofthe most elite herds of Brangus cattle anywhere in thenation.
Chimney Rock is owned by Bill and Gail Davis.Mr. Davis, an Arkansas native, had already built asuccessful trucking business before he ever thought ofthrowing his hat into the world of car racing. Davisshifted gears and steered his way into NASCAR,where he built a successful race team that at one timeincluded Batesville native Mark Martin.
The Davisβ dream of owning cattle became realityin early 1999 when they purchased a ranch atConcord, 19 miles from the trucking company head-quarters in Batesville. The ranch was named ChimneyRock Cattle Company because of unusual rock forma-tions on the land.

As many alumni know, Lyon very graciously deter-mined to recognize my record-setting forty years as anAC/ Lyon faculty member by sending my wife Diane andme on a tour of Greece. Accompanied by President Donand First Lady Lynn Weatherman, we flew from LittleRock on June 21, spent nine days seeing Athens, theGreek islands, and sites around the country. In gratitude Ihave written a short travelogue to share our wonderful giftwith everyone in the Lyon community.
Terrell Tebbetts
Day OneWe arrived in Athens at 10:30 a.m., met our tour
guide at the airport, and went to the hotel, the LedraMarriott, which was a 5-euro cab ride from theAcropolis.
My first impression of the city of Athens was two-fold. The cityβs environment, on the one hand, wasmonotonous and drab, as the city is filled with 1960s-style buildings almost totally lacking in architecturalinterest. On the other hand, the city wisely bansbuildings higher than the Acropolis, so the cityβs greatattraction stands out above all the undistinguishedsprawl below it. And the main thing is that the peo-ple we met in Athens were friendly and helpful onevery occasion, many of them quite good at English.
In the afternoon we went to the area known asthe Plaka, an area of narrow streets, shops, and restau-rants. Diane bought some glass there to work into astained glass window she is making for our daughterNell. Supper was at an outdoor restaurant in the city.
Day TwoWe got our guided tour of the Acropolis Museum
and the Acropolis itself this morning, led by a veryknowledgeable guide. On the way there we saw thechanging of the guard at the Parliament buildingwhere demonstrations were taking place eachevening. The Acropolis Museum now houses many ofthe sculptures from the site, with replacement pieceson the buildings themselves. From there we walked upto the top of the Acropolis. What an experience itwas to see the Erechtheum, the Temple of Athena
Nike, and the Parthenon. Greece is currently restor-ing the ruins on the Acropolis, not βrebuildingβ theruins but simply replacing up to 30% of the deterio-rating stone work remaining there.
After the tour we walked down into the ancientagora, where Socrates and Plato taught and where thebest preserved classical temple stands, and thenthrough the flea market district. We ended the day inthe hands of a talkative cabbie named Harry whotook us up the highest of Athensβ seven hills and thento a local, non-touristy restaurant a few blocks fromthe hotel, where we sat on a sidewalk table into theevening enjoying one fish course after another.
Day ThreeOur cruise through the Greek isles began today.
We boarded The Louis Majesty in the morning and

headed for our first stop, the charming isle ofMykonos. Our port there was once a simple fishingvillage, and fishing still is important. But Aristotleand Jackie Onassis βdiscoveredβ the island and madeit popular a few decades ago, so it has a robust touristbusiness these days. The streets, lined with shops andrestaurants, are very narrowβmore like hallways thanstreets, certainly not big enough for cars. Theyβre keptvery clean and are regularly whitewashed, so theyhave none of cramped or dirty feeling you mightexpect in such narrow corridors full of people. Manyof the shops display art works from Mykonosβ artschool, which has some obviously talented painters.We bought an oil depiction of the town. At one endof the shopping area is βlittle Venice,β where thebuildings are right on the sea. After getting a greatshot of the sunset over the Aegean, we headed for thecruise ship, which was ready to set sail for our nextdestination.
Day FourWe arrived at the Turkish port of Kusadasi in the
morning and set out by bus for a guided tour of theruins of Ephesus. We walked upon the very pavingstones that Antony and Cleopatra and the ApostlesPaul and John walked upon as our guide identifiedtemples, bathhouses, terrace houses, and one of thegreat libraries of the ancient world. What a thrill! Onour return to Kusadasi, we got a free session on themaking of Turkish carpets, two of which our partyended up buying.
After barely making it to the ship in time, wesailed off for the isle of Patmos. This is where theRoman Empire exiled the Apostle John when thepersecution of Christians began and where John wasliving when he wrote the Book of Revelation. We vis-ited the cave where he is said to have received his

vision and the monastery built above it on the moun-tain top. Cabs make the run to the mountaintop allday long, with local drivers so used to the journey thatthey zip around all the switchbacks and hairpin turnsat what seems like breakneck speed. We were glad tobe on a holy site. We got refreshments at a seasidecafΓ© and took the tender boat back to the cruise shipto set sail for our next port.
Day FiveWe sailed into the Cretan port of Irakleio in the
morning and debarked in separate directions, theWeathermans opting for a bus tour of Cretan villagesand Diane and I heading for the ruins of Knossos, thepalace of the Minoan kings when Crete was the cen-ter of civilization in the eastern Mediterranean, ca.1500 B.C. What a great experience to walk throughthe remains of the building where Minos ruled, withhis Minotaur lurking in the nearby labyrinth seekinghuman sacrificeβuntil the Greek hero Theseus camefrom Thebes, slew the Minotaur, and found hisway out of the labyrinth with the aid of Minosβdaughter Ariadne.
At noon we sailed again and reached Santoriniaround 4:00. The strong wind and rough sea tossedthe tender boat pretty wildly, and Diane needed togather herself after we got ashore and took thecable car to the town of Thira overlooking thecaldera of the famous volcano that destroyed mostof the island ca. 1400 B.C. That catastrophe mayhave been the source of the story of the lostAtlantis, and it pretty certainly sent out such atsunami and poured out such mountains of ashthat it ended the Minoan civilization on Crete aswell. It also may have been the source of the pillarof cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night thatguided the Israelites on their Exodus from Egypt.Being on the spot where all that happenedβwow!
Day SixThis was an epic day. We reached Athens in
the morning and traded the ship for a bus thatwould take us on the land tour. As we headedtoward the Peloponnese we passed Salamis, wherethe Athenians finally defeated the Persians, kepttheir independence, and paved the way for theGolden Age. We crossed the Corinth Canal that
cuts a passage across the isthmus joining thePeloponnese to the rest of Greece, and stopped atEpidauros, where we visited one of the best preservedtheatres from classical Greece and an adjacent muse-um displaying artifacts from the nearby temple ofAsclepius, the god of healing.
We stopped at the port town of Nafplio for lunch,where we saw fortifications from the time of Veniceβsdomination of the region.
Then back on the bus for the short trip toMycenae, the greatest pre-classical city-state ofGreece, the home of Atreus and his son Agamemnon,who led the Greeks in the Trojan War and returnedvictorious only to be slain by this wife Clytemnestraand her lover Aegisthus. We entered the vaulted bur-ial chambers of the kings. We climbed the mountaintoward the citadel. We turned, and below us was thefertile plain that produced half the wealth of ancient

Mycenae, and to our leftwas the sea that pro-duced the rest. Thenbefore us were the mas-sive walls of the citadel,and the stone carving oflions on the entry gate(the oldest survivingsculpture in Europe, ca.1200 B.C.). Then wewere inside. We lookeddown on Schliemannβsfirst excavation site, thecitadelβs cemetery, andon granaries and storagebuildings. We walkedfarther up, and there wewere, looking uponAgamem-nonβs throneroom, the megaron withthe circular fireplace inthe center. We were inthe very place whereOrestes and Electrafaced the terrible dilem-ma of having to avengetheir fatherβs murder byslaying their mother. Wewere at the heart of the Mycenaean civilization thathad dominated the eastern Mediterranean. History,legend, and literature became reality.
I dashed to the museum to see some of the arti-facts and then ran for the bus, with Diane the last toenter before it pulled out.
We drove through the region of Kalamata, famousfor its olives, heading for ancient Olympia, where theOlympic Games originated in the 8th century B.C.and continued for over a thousand years. On the wayour tour guide gave us some bad news. The site wouldbe closed the next day because of the general strikeGreek unions had called to protest the EuropeanUnionβs proposed plan of economic austerity. Sheasked if weβd like to go directly to the ruins when wearrived instead of to the hotel so we could get in asmuch of a tour as possible before the site closed at8:00 p.m. As tired as we were, we all agreed, so thebus driver got us to Olympia by 7:00. Our guide did a
great job walking usthrough the site andexplaining what wewere seeingβtheremains of the gymnasi-um, practice tracks,swimming pools, a hotelwith a decorative pool,the temples of Hera andZeus, and finally therunning track withgrassy slopes on eitherside for the viewers tosit. Weβd have had moretime if weβd been able tosee it the followingmorning as scheduled,and we missed the muse-um, but thanks to ourguide we had managedto experience an impres-sive site. But man, werewe ever worn out whenwe finally reached thehotel. Itβd been a fullday!
Day SevenWe slept late since the ruins of Olympia was off
the morning schedule, and we got a little time to visitthe town of Olympia, where we found the shop of apotter/painter and bought a couple of his pieces. Weleft in time to head for a special treatβlunch in anout-of-the-way village, at the home of a native Greekwhoβd run a restaurant in America, made goodmoney, retired to Greece, and restored a get-awayhome in his native village. Family members wel-comed us and served a tasty lunch of Greek favorites,and afterwards their four boys and three teens fromthe tour kicked around a soccer ball for a while.
After lunch we headed north toward the city ofPatras at the mouth of the Gulf of Corinth. Wecrossed the new suspension bridge over the gulf, areally impressive design, and then drove along thenorth coast of the gulf. We stopped for a break at

Naupaktus, a town known as Lepanto when con-trolled by the Ottomans and made famous by the1571 sea battle there in which Venice defeated theOttomans and halted their spread into Europe. A stat-ue by the bay commemorates the fact that Cervantes,author of Don Quixote, fought there.
We headed on to the gulf town of Itea, where weturned north toward Mount Parnassus and the villageof Delphi, which sits just below the site of the Templeof Apollo and the βtreasuriesβ of the various city-states where citizens left votaries in thanks for theDelphic oraclesβ prophecies. Diane, Lynn, and I hadtime to explore the village a bit after supper.
Day EightHappily the workers at Delphi had voted not to
join the general strike. We started the day at theDelphi Museum, where we saw statuary, votive pieces,and other artifacts from the site. My favorite piecewas a small carved ram with a man holding on to theundersideβobviously a representation of Odysseusescaping the cyclopsβ cave. From there we went on tothe archeological site. Most impressive were the ruinsof Apolloβs temple, where the Delphic oracle deliv-ered prophecies, and the treasury of Athens, whicharcheologists have rebuilt to show what all the city-stateβs βtreasuriesβ were like. The ruins of the nearbytemple of Athena were also impressive, as was theboulder lying where it had fallen and destroyed arche-ologistsβ rebuilding of the siteβwhere twice inancient times other boulders had fallen and destroyedthe temple. The archeologists got the message anddidnβt rebuild again.
We returned to Itea for lunch at a seaside restau-rant and then headed north across Mount Parnassusand adjoining mountains full of hairpin curves. At thecity of Lamia we entered the plain of Thessaly, whichis as flat as the Mississippi River delta and whereGreeks grow cotton. If the Greek Orthodox churchesin the villages had been Baptist, weβd have thoughtweβd been transported home! One of the churcheshad a treat in store for us: on top of its dome was ahuge stork nest with four mostly grown chicks. Thebirds return there every summer after spending win-ters in Africa. We stopped along the way at astudio/workshop where artists produce many of theicons displayed in Greek Orthodox churches and
homes. We arrived at the town of Meteora in the lateafternoon.
Day NineToday was devoted not to Minoan, Mycenaean, or
Classical times but to the Byzantine period. Meteorafeatures several Greek Orthodox monasteries built onthe very tiptop of sheer rocky prominences, as ifstraining to get as far from earth and as close to heav-en as possible. Our guide took us into the chapel ofSt. Nicholasβs Monastery and interpreted the iconog-raphy thereβthe figure of Christ painted in the cen-tral dome, the four evangelists painted where thedome joins the square tower, and the various saintsand angels on the tower walls and the walls of thecross-shaped building. We also visited the Monasteryof St. Stephen, where Diane and I purchased a GreekOrthodox cross to give to our church at home, whichhas a Wall of Crosses, all given by church members.
After lunch in the town of Meteora, we headedback across the plain of Thessaly toward Athens.Halfway there we stopped at the site of the Battle ofThermopylae, where in 480 B.C. 300 Spartans led byLeonidas, along with 700 Thespians and 400Thebans, sacrificed their lives to hold off 70,000 ofXerxesβ Persians for three days, allowing their fellowGreeks to regroup and ultimately defeat the Persiansat Salamis. A monument built by Greek-Americansstands at the site, with a statue of Leonidas at its cen-ter, below it in Greek the words of Leonidas inresponse to Xerxesβ demand that the Greeks give uptheir weapons: βCome and get them.β
It was a trip I will always be grateful for. We got toexperience sites connected to almost everything weβvestudied, read about, and taught regarding Greece,from pre-history through the early Renaissance. Wewere on important battle sites at Salamis, Lepanto,and Thermopylae. We were at the heart of theMinoan and Mycenaean civilizations. We set our feeton the very streets where the apostles walked. Weentered the agora where Plato and Aristotle taught. Itwas a wonderful gift from the college and the alumniand friends that made it happen, a gift that will keepgiving as I carry it into my classes, beginning withWestern Lit this fall.Dr. Terrell TebbettsMartha Heasley Cox Chair in American Literature

Supplemental instruction assistsstudents with high-risk courses
Lyon College added a new tool to help studentsachieve academic success this semester: supplementalinstruction, a free academic assistance program thatuses peer-assisted study sessions.
Dr. Amy Schmidt, a 2005 graduate of Lyon, is thesupervisor of the program. She describes SI as aβlearning enhancement program thatβs different fromtraditional tutoring.β
Rather than focusing on high-risk students, SIfocuses on high-risk courses, those with a high num-ber of Dβs, Fβs and Wβs (withdrawals). This fall, theprogram is focusing on nine freshmen-level courses:English 101, Math 101, French 101, Spanish 101,Psychology 101, Biology 100 and 110, and Chemistry105 and 110.
Dr. Virginia Wray, Dean of the Faculty, explains:βLyon has identified first-year courses that historicallyhave been difficult for students. These courses offeran additional weekly meeting run by students (SILeaders) who have taken these courses and done wellin them. They attend the regular class sessions andconsult regularly with the professors teaching the
courses, letting them know when students are notgrasping some lecture material.β
Dr. Wray stresses that SI leaders are not teachingassistants like those you would find in a university.βThey are coaches of sorts who work with first-yearstudents on study skills appropriate to the coursesthey are helping students with, and they are facilita-tors of collaborative learning.β
SI sessions are optional unless faculty membersrequire them. And, according to Dr. Schmidt, theyare open to all students who want to improve theirgrade, regardless of class standing. Since SI is not aremedial program, she said there is no stigmaattached to it.
Dr. Schmidt said the SI program is intended toimprove studentsβ critical thinking skills, their studyskills, and ultimately their academic performance.
She said supplemental instruction has been shownto improve student performance as much as a wholeletter grade.
Dr. Schmidt; Dr. Wray; and two faculty members,Dr. Patrick Mulick, Associate Professor of Psychology;
and Dr. David Thomas,Professor of Biology, attend-ed a training workshop onSI at the University ofMissouri at Kansas City lastsummer.
βThe SI leaders arefacilitators, not tutors,βSchmidt said, βand they arechosen based upon recom-mendations by faculty.βThey attend the targetedclass and then lead the peerstudy group for that course.The study sessions are oneand a half hours in length.
βIt's a great opportunityfor students to get togetherDr. Amy Schmidt, β05, supervisor of the SI program, talks to two of
the SI student leaders, Summer Taylor and Matt Coyle. (Continued on next page)

on a weekly basis and just talk through the material,βsaid Brooke Messer, one of the SI leaders. βSometimesthe professors may go too fast, and this just gives usthe opportunity to slow down and learn at a moreleisurely pace.β
Addressing the retention issue, Dr. Thomas said:βI think part of our retention problem is that toomany students do not have adequate study skills forcollege. The SI program teaches study skills in the
context of particular classes. Thus, in place of tradi-tional tutoring where the tutor often repeats the lec-ture, the SI leaders help students by teaching themhow to teach themselves and each other. Our previ-ous tutoring program was very underutilized. My hopeis that as students learn about the SI program, theyβlluse it more, and spread the news by word of mouth. SIworks for all students, regardless of preparation andability.β
At midterm in late October, statistics showed mixedresults for the supplemental instruction program.
Dr. Amy Schmidt, the program supervisor, said, βThestatistics, both for performance and for attendance, havetheir bright spots along with their dark ones. At thispoint, thereβs not much that can be said conclusively.Hopefully, weβll have a more accurate sense of the pro-gram at the end of the term.β
The percentage of attendance in SI sessions for stu-dents enrolled in each course ranged from as high as 54percent to as low as 7 percent.
A comparison of grade point averages at midtermwith those of the two previous years showed an improve-ment in most courses, but one class did show a decline inthe GPA and a couple of others were mostly unchanged.
Senior Summer Taylor, the SI leader for Dr.Catherine Bordeauβs French 101 class, said, βI think theprogram is working really well. I still have several stu-dents who come to my sessions, and they all seem tohave a wonderful time. I also feel like this program hasfostered a love for French in the students who comebecause instead of learning it in a lecture type settingthey are able to have fun with it, making the languageseem more manageable.β
Jonathan Dannatt of Bald Knob is the SI Leader forChemistry 110. βWhen I took the job, I was told thatchemistry and mathematics are the hardest classes to getthe SI program to work for, but from my point of viewthe system is working well for all the chem students,β hesaid. βThe goal of the system was to increase grades,decrease drops, and teach the students how to study on
their own. Iβm not sure if the program is meeting its firsttwo goals, but the third goal is getting met.
βAs the semester has progressed, the students havepicked up the skills necessary to handle the college work-load. Now, they seem to rely less on my SI sessions andmore on their own study skills, but at the beginning ofthe semester, the SI sessions seemed to be a huge part ofhow they studied. They have adapted well to college lifeand are ready to take classes without the aid of SI,although some may not be ready to admit it.β
Hailey Simmons, a sophomore from Wylie, Texas,said, βI have been tutoring for years and have never seenso much learning take place in such a short amount oftime. I don't know if the program is raising their gradesan entire letter, but it has helped every student Iβve spo-ken with. I am an English SI leader, and I have seen thestudents who attend the SI sessions make leaps in theirwriting abilities. So I do think the program has succeed-ed as a place for efficient study time.β
Dr. Patrick Mulick, Associate Professor ofPsychology, said: βI know there has been a dramaticimprovement in my class (SI supported) this semester.The exam averages have gone up about 6 percent, whichequals about one-half grade. For the first time in my his-tory of teaching Psych 101, I did not give out one F formid-term grades.
βWhile I would love to give all the credit to SI, it isimpossible to rule out other factors (such as just betterstudents in the class). That said, this is a significantimprovement, and I would assume it is at least partlyrelated to SI.β

For more than 20 years, the Nichols InternationalStudies Program has helped make foreign study possi-ble for many Lyon College students.
The program was established by a $1 million giftby then-Trustee Shuford Nichols and his wife, Laura,in 1988. The first Nichols International Studiescourses were offered in 1991.
According to Dr. Brooks Blevinsβ The History ofLyon College 1872-2002, the first two Nichols coursesoffered were John T. Dahlquistβs βLondon in theHistory of Britain,β and George Chlebakβs βTour deFrance.β Dahlquist was then the Dean of the Facultyand Chlebak was a Professor of Art.
Since its creation, the Nichols program has madeit possible for more than 1,000 Lyon students to travelabroad and study in dozens of locations around theworld and on every continent.
At the Lyon Board of Trustees meeting in April2011, a resolution was read and presented to TrusteeMark Nichols on behalf of the Nichols family inrecognition of the 20th anniversary of the Nicholsprogram.
Last winter, Dr. Gloria Everson, AssociateProfessor of Anthropology, and Margaret LeJeune,Assistant Professor of Art, traveled with 12 studentson a Nichols trip to Egypt. It was the first Nichols tripto Africa.
Dr. Everson, a four-time Nichols trip advisor, saysthe planning for this trip would not have gone sosmoothly without the help of Mark Nichols. Nicholswas interested in being involved in the programβs firsttrip to Africa. He provided important contact infor-mation for several Egyptian travel agencies thatEverson says was very helpful.
One of Eversonβs favorite things about the Nicholstrips is being able to take students who have neverbeen out of the United States. Seeing and interactingwith a different culture is a main objective for stu-dents in the Nichols program.
Everson praises the Nichols program for its abilityto take students outside of the classroom. She pointsout that students spend the majority of their time sim-
ply reading books in and out of the classroom.Everson says the Nichols trips are important becausethey βallow the information to come alive outside ofthe books.β
International travel is an integral part of a liberalarts education, and that belief was behind the cre-ation of the Nichols travel program. Because of it,most Lyon students qualify for a grant to underwritetheir travel costs, either through the study-travelcourses or the Semester Abroad Program.
The Nichols study-travel courses are taught bymembers of the Lyon faculty and include about twoweeks of study abroad. Nichols courses are offered fol-lowing the end of the fall and spring semesters. Thefaculty members responsible for the Nichols coursesare usually the instructors of the courses that are pre-requisites to the study-abroad courses. The prerequi-site courses are normally offered in the semesterimmediately preceding related Nichols courses.
Students are eligible to participate in Nicholscourses following their fifth semester of full-time studyat Lyon College. However, transfer students may par-ticipate in Nichols courses after one year of full-timestudy at Lyon College provided they have junior sta-tus at the time of the courses.
Students must have a Lyon cumulative grade-point average of 2.5 or better and be in good financialstanding. Eligible students enrolled in these courseswill receive Nichols International Studies grants tocover a portion of course-related expenses. Study Abroad Exchange ProgramsLyon has established formal exchange agreements
with Akita International University (Japan), QueenβsUniversity (Northern Ireland), the University ofUlster (Northern Ireland), and the University ofPoitiers (France).
Lyon students may also participate in semester andyearlong study abroad programs other than theapproved exchange programs listed above.
More information on these study abroad programsis available on the Lyon website atwww.lyon.edu/nichols-courses.htm.

By SAMANTHA JONES, β14Lyon CollegeEvery summer β and the
occasional winter β Lyon Collegestudents who qualify get theopportunity to travel abroadthrough the Nichols Inter-national Studies Program. Lastsummer, four groups traveled toFrance, Germany, England, andArgentina.
Leaving on May 10, ProfessorDavid Sonnier took five studentsto France. The group, which tooka course called The FrenchMathematicians and ModernTechnology prior to the trip, vis-ited places such as the Louvreand Bordeaux. According to sev-eral students, Sonnier had a largeand useful knowledge of the area.
The students β Forrest Abdo,Jacob Hancock, Suzanne Harris,Emily Ingram, and Jason Lee βarrived back in the States on May23.
Dr. Russell Stinsonβs group,which left on May 11, traveled to Germany. Stinsontaught the course History and Music of EasternGermany to prepare the students for the trip.
The group, which included students Brandy Jones,William Belvin, David Black, Meredith Terrell,Lindsey Ensminger, Tesla Fields, Timoteo Guajardo,Lee Hissong, Faris Mekias, Benjamin Pool, WhitneySimpson, and Christine Tully, split the two-week tripbetween the cities of Leipzig and Berlin. They alsomade several day trips to Dresden, Weimar, andWittenberg.
Several of the students especially enjoyed the tripto Dresden, a city that was fire bombed in World WarII. According to Whitney Simpson, βIt was so surrealto see the ash still on the buildings and to know thatthey are, to this day, still rebuilding themselves.β
Dr. Stinson and the students returned to theUnited States on May 24. Stinson has received rave
reviews from the students. One student said that Dr.Stinsonβs βvast knowledge of the places we visited andhis ability to make quick decisions in states ofurgencyβ was a major factor in the success of the trip.
Dr. Helen Robbinsβ group, comprised of studentsJosie Hammersley, Jill Hedler, Tyler Hudgens, KristanInman, Jessica Jones, Jessica Koon, ElizabethNiemeyer, and Cassie White, traveled throughoutEngland, focusing on Swanage, Haworth, and theLake District.
The course that prepared the students for the tripfocused on English history, literature, and legend.According to Jessica Jones, the best part of the tripwas seeing the places she had read about.
βWe walked Catherineβs moors calling forHeathcliff in a field where the wind only blew oneway,β Jones commented.

The group spent most of their time in BuenosAires, though they did spend three days in Mendoza.
Elizabeth Fuller noted the countryβs emphasis onsoccer, saying, βIt was so exciting to share the fieldwith people who live and breathe the game and toearn their respect for American soccer players andfemale soccer players.β The group attended a profes-sional soccer match during the trip.
Of the trip, Frances Winfrey said, βItβs not everyday that you can go to South America. I loved it!β
Last winter, Dr. Gloria Everson, Associate
Professor of Anthropology, and Margaret LeJuene,Assistant Professor of Art, traveled with twelve stu-dents on a Nichols trip to various places in Egypt,such as Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, and Alexandria.
Besides the typical tourist museum visits andtours, the group had the opportunity to stray off thebeaten path. Everson explained that several membersof the group, including herself, took a carriage rideinto non-tourist locales and rural surroundings.
βThe tourist stuff was great, but it was good get-ting off that track,β Everson says.Whatβs next?A group of Lyon students will be traveling to
Rome, Milan, Florence and Venice this winter in aNichols trip that aims to study βopera, art, and culturein some of the centers of Western culture.β The springNichols destinations include the Bahamas, England,Japan, France, and Peru.

On August 12, 2011, Lyon Collegeβs first lady,Lynn Weatherman, and two former first ladies,Carolyn Holloway and Sidney West, announced thelaunching of the First Ladiesβ Auxiliary, a group dedi-cated to maintaining the many beautiful spaces on thecampus of Lyon College.
To further this goal, they invited to join the auxil-iary those women who have an association with theBoard of Trustees, including women who have servedas trustees and the spouses of men who have served.
The auxiliary meets once a year, on FoundersβDay, to receive the report of the amount of fundsavailable for campus improvement projects and tochoose the upcoming yearβs project.
Members are asked to approve the appointment ofan executive committee to carry out the tasks of solic-iting members, receiving funds, preparing a list of fea-sible projects, and overseeing the completion of eachyearβs chosen project.
The auxiliary undertakes projects that are some-times left unaddressed due to the ever-present, moreurgent demands of maintaining Lyonβs buildings andgrounds. In order to fund the effort, each auxiliarymember pledges a gift of $1,000, to be renewed annu-
ally, designated to the projects chosen by the member-ship.
On October 22, 2011, the auxiliary held its firstmeeting and approved an executive committee ofLynn Weatherman, Kate Cooke, and Diane LaCroix.
The groupβs first project will be to refurbish thefurnishings of Bevens Music Room and to update thetwo restrooms located in the back hallway of BrownChapel.
Ray Simpson, β01, a third-generation antiques andfine arts dealer and appraiser with Simpson Galleriesin Houston, is acting as an advisor to the auxiliary.
The organization continues to welcome additionalmembers and currently includes 16 charter members:
Mrs. Frances βSisβ Bellingrath; Mrs. John D.Blyth; Mrs. Kate Cooke; Dr. Julea Garner, β84; Dr.Carolyn Holloway; Mr. Charles Hoke and his daugh-ters, Mrs. Linda Bledsoe and Mrs. Marsha Hire, inmemory of Mrs. Floy Hoke; Mrs. Diane LaCroix; Mrs.Sarah βCricketβ Oquist McFadden, β93; Mrs. KarenCarwile Rayburn; Mrs. Ginni Tucker Robertson, β64;Mrs. Anne Stewart; Mrs. Lynn Weatherman; Mrs.Sidney West; Mrs. Cappy Whiteside; and Mrs. MaryYoung.

The 33rd Arkansas Scottish Festival is set forApril 13-15 on the Lyon College campus inBatesville. Admission to the three-day festival will befree.
The festival has, for three decades, provided aglimpse of traditional Scotland to visitors fromArkansas and all over the country.
The celebration began as a way to honor the col-legeβs Scottish roots. Lyon College was founded in1872 by the Presbyterian Church, which has its rootsin Scotland. The college recognizes Scotland throughits Scottish Heritage Program and through the annualArkansas Scottish Festival, which brings in thousandsof visitors during the weekend.
Of course, it wouldnβt be a Scottish festival with-out bagpipe, drumming, and Highland dancing com-petitions. The qualifiers feature pipers, drummers, anddancers from all over the world including Ireland andScotland.
This yearβs festival will feature more events, morecompetitors, more pipe bands, and more entertain-ment.

By MOLLY YOUNG β14Lyon CollegeβHonoredβ and βundeservingβ: Teresa Loggains
used these words to describe her feelings upon receiv-ing this yearβs Outstanding Staff Member of the YearAward, but to those who are familiar with LyonβsManager of Admission Data, it is clear why sheearned such an honor.
For 34 years, Loggains has been serving the Lyoncommunity, inspiring others with what DavidHeringer, Vice President for Administration at LyonCollege, describes as a βspirit of service.β Her humili-ty, paired with a good-natured heart and hardworkingattitude, make her deserving of the title.
Teresa Loggains grew up and attended high schoolin Cave City, having what she described as a βwon-derfulβ childhood. She was born to Leon and FrankieCrow and has three siblings β two sisters, CarolynKirk and Brenda McDougal, and a brother, WayneCrow. The family has a history with Lyon College;Loggainβs mother graduated from the school when itwas still Arkansas College and Loggainsβ sister,Carolyn, graduated from Lyon as well.
What Loggains recalled most about her childhoodwas her unique relationship with her grandparents,Paul and Zelda Hudson of Batesville. They wouldtake her camping, an activity she still enjoys today.According to Loggains, Mr. Hudson, a riverboat cap-tain in Memphis, βbrought the first steam boat up theWhite River.β
Meanwhile, her other grandparents, Neal andEsther Crow, worked in the Arkansas Traveler FolkTheater in Hardy, Ark. Loggains recalls that, β[theshow] operated four nights a week for 28 years, andneither of them missed a single nightβs performance.βShe attended several of these performances. A copyof a photo of her grandfather singing for this group isdisplayed in the Mabee-Simpson Library.
After high school, Loggains moved to Little Rockto attend Draughonβs School of Business, earning a
degree in computer business. She began working atLyon on Jan. 11, 1977.
Today Loggains sits at her desk, surrounded bypaperwork, telephones, and a desktop computer.When asked what her average workday consists of,she jokingly retorts, βDo you really want to know?β

Manager, her day consists of crunching numbers andcreating the trend reports which the collegeβs officialsstudy and quote. As Loggains explained, βthey [col-lege President Donald Weathermen and VicePresident for Administration Heringer] love num-bers.β
According to Loggains, half of her time is spentwriting these statistical reports; the rest of the timeshe spends processing applications. She admits tobeing βreal satisfiedβ with her current position andmentioned several times how much she enjoys thework.
Over 34 years, a person can learn a lot about acommunity, especially one as close-knit as Lyonβscampus. Loggains observes that the college haschanged in many ways since she first began workingas a word processor. She recalls using typewriters toput the presidentβs dictations into print, and howthings have become faster with the new technologyavailable.
One thing that she says has not changed is thekind of people who naturally join the Lyon communi-ty. No matter who leaves or arrives, she believes thesame good-natured people surround the campus.Loggains refers to the staff and students as her βsecondfamilyβ and says that those she works with make herjob something she looks forward to, something shewants to get up and come to in the morning.
Photos of Loggains and her family decorate heroffice. She has been married to Gary Loggains for 34years, just as long as she has been working at Lyon.The couple met through their families. Though theygrew up near each other, the two were not acquaint-ed; it was not until what Loggains described as a βspurof the momentβ encounter that the two connected.They have been together ever since.
Loggains has one stepdaughter, Corie England,who has two children, Savanna and Josh. Loggainshas also been raising her niece, Monica McDougall,since she was in third grade. Monica is now a seniorin high school and plans to attend Lyon next fall.
Outside of Lyon, Loggains enjoys camping andspending time with her family. βI love all kinds of
sports,β she explains. She also showed horses, MissouriFox Trotters, for about five years. One of her maresmade it to state competition during this time. Shefound the pastime βvery enjoyableβ but admits that ittook a lot of effort.
Loggainβs sister, Carolyn, owns a photography stu-dio, which she helps with from time to time. Throughthis, the sisters have grown close. Loggains also hasbonded with her nephew, Dylan Kirk. At one pointboth women sang together in a group called theGospel Singers, which performed contemporarygospel music. Led by Loggainsβ cousin, the singersrecorded in a Drasco studio with the same producerwho recorded Alan Jackson and Dolly Parton. Thetwo sisters are still known to sing together today.
Last year Loggains was diagnosed with ovariancancer. She admits to being terrified at first, but shecame to the realization that it is best βto live withwhat [she] was dealt.β
βIt is what it is,β she explains. βI have learned toappreciate and be thankful for each day God contin-ues to give me. I treasure every moment.β
Throughout her treatment her family stayed byher side, especially her husband, who she says βhasbeen [her] strongest supporter.β Loggains is now inremission. βWe just hope and pray it will remain dor-mant,β she says.
When asked what she felt about the commentsHeringer made about her character, she explainedhow her mindset has guided her. βI try to take every-oneβs emotions into account,β she explains. She goeson to say that she follows the golden rule in all per-sonal dealings.
Heringer recognized this when presentingLoggains with her award, saying, βShe never makes adecision or implements a change without first consid-ering the potential impact on others.β
This mindset and her strong devotion to her jobmake Teresa Loggains well deserving of the title shehas earned. Her strength and compassionate attitudeinspire those around her and prove she is one of thewonderful personalities that she says the collegeattracts.

By SAMANTHA JONES, β14Lyon CollegeJohn Hornor Jacobsβs path from college student to
novelist can best be described as rocky. Jacobs, whograduated from Lyon College in 1994 when it was stillcalled Arkansas College, found himself facing quite adilemma after receiving his bachelorβs degree.
Jacobs couldnβt find a job that made use of theskills he had acquired at Lyon. Going back to thedrawing board, John re-enrolled in college to receivehis associateβs degree in animation and multimedia.
βThe B.A. in English just wasnβt cutting it,βJacobs said.
John has worked in advertising for the past 14years, a time in which he has married and had twodaughters. Jacobs has won several advertising awardsthrough his day job, but his novel writing is closer tohis heart. He has written four novels so far. His mostrecent release, Southern Gods, will be followed by ThisDark Earth and The Twelve-Fingered Boy.
βIt seems Iβll have a novel coming out every yearfor the foreseeable future, until 2015,β Jacobs said,βAnd probably more after that. I just have to writethem.β
A book release party for Southern Gods was held inAugust at the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies inLittle Rock. Since its release, the book has done wellin sales, reviews, and public exposure. Jacobs men-tioned that most of the people he knows personallyhave approached his novel with surprise.
βMy parentβs friends are surprised they find somuch to like in a horror novel,β Jacobs said. βMyfriends are surprised that I have the diligence to writea novel.β
Southern Gods is a split novel. According toJacobs, itβs a βChandler-esque noir-styled storyβ aboutWorld War II veteran Bull Ingramβs search for a mys-terious blues artist and the story of Sarah Rheinhart, awoman who must come to terms with her family lega-cy after fleeing an abusive husband.
βSouthern Gods is a rumination on parenting andsacrifice and love, which is what all my favorite books
are about, depicting the human heart in conflict withitself, as Dr. [Terrell] Tebbetts will remind you, wasFaulknerβs great hope and focus in narrative,β Jacobssaid.
Jacobs chose the setting of the novel, the 1950s inthe South, because of his knowledge of the time peri-od and his longing to write about the βhardscrabble,rural β50s where the country was pulling itself out ofthe dark agesβ instead of the stereotypical nostalgicera lamented by television shows such as I Love Lucy.He took the decade, βwhere the post-war boom wentoff without a bang, but a whimper,β and added in hisown elements, like the main character Bull Ingramand the birth of rock βnβ roll.
βI wrote the book I wanted to read,β Jacobs said.βI think thatβs important. To write what you enjoy.β

According to Jacobs, his main inspiration to writecame from J.R.R. Tolkienβs The Hobbit and The Lordof the Rings. βI felt I had discovered a private world ofmy own, and when other people mentioned Tolkienβsworks, I felt that they could never love Middle-Earthas much as I did,β Jacobs said.
Jacobs has four novels to be released in the nextfour years. The first, called This Dark Earth, is a post-apocalyptic novel set in Arkansas. The novel dealswith the end of the world in the form of the walkingdead and nuclear war. His next book, The Twelve-Fingered Boy, is the first novel in a young adult trilogy.It will be followed by Incarcerado and The End of AllThings. This Dark Earth is being published by Simon& Schusterβs Gallery Imprint.
While his Lyon education did not immediatelypay off for Jacobs, it definitely helped him to becomea novelist. Jacobs attributes much of his interest inthe field of writing to Lyon English professors such asDr. Tebbetts, Dr. Ron Boling, Dr. Helen Robbins, andDr. Virginia Wray.
βI still remember conversations I had about litera-ture with Dr. Tebbetts, digging into the motivations
and psychological rationale of Joe Christmas ofFaulknerβs A Light in August,β Jacobs said.
According to Jacobs, his liberal arts education isβan experience that deepens over time.β Jacobs hasquite a bit of generalized knowledge, which he uses tobeat his friends at games like Trivial Pursuit andScrabble, and he also has excellent communicationskills. In his field, Jacobs uses communication morethan any other skill. He noted his ability to send pro-fessional e-mails and interpret various programminglanguages, the creation of which Jacobs compares toconstructing an essay.
βA liberal arts education is a matter of enriching apersonβs worldview,β Jacobs said. βIf I had any adviceto give to students, it would be simply to get somehard skills during your time at Lyon. Make a habit ofdoing what you say youβre going to do. Skills you canacquire on the job, but integrity is a long-standinghabit.β
Jacobs has recently finished development on hispersonal website, www.johnhornorjacobs.com, whereyou can find more information about his upcomingbooks and other work.

Lyon con-tinues its commitment to pro-viding such a place for all whocome.
These are challenging timesfor all of us, however, and Lyon is no exception. AsI am sure you know, we broke ground atHomecoming for a beautiful new campus center onthe site of Edwards Commons even as we continueto raise funds to support the new structure. In addi-tion, we are faced with an increasing need for resi-dential space in order to accommodate and retain agrowing student body.
While these two are pressing needs, Lyon alsoneeds regular support from us, its alumni, for schol-arships, facilities, and programs. Even the smallestfinancial gift to the college makes a difference as itprovides evidence of the strong support that Lyonenjoys from its contributing alumni. I invite you tovisit Lyonβs website at http://www.lyon.edu/support-lyon-donate.htm for more information and to makea donation.
Even in these challeng-ing times, Lyon remains aplace of promise for theyoung people who enter itsdoors each fall, as well as afirm and supportive founda-tion and strong communityof friends for those who exiteach spring with their newlyearned diplomas in theirhands.
As alumni, we have aspecial calling, I think, tosupport our alma mater inthese times of challenge.We who love Lyon have theopportunity to invest in thecollegeβs future growth andin the realization of a shared
vision, and I believe that if enough of us answer thecall, we can and will make a difference.
In closing, I encourage you, my fellow alumni,to invest in Lyonβs future and in the successes ofthose who will, as we have, take what is learned inthis place and use it to better not only their ownlives but the lives of those whom they touch aswell. This is an investment worth making.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Crosby, β92

Alumni Givingby Class YearA number of Lyon alumni give generouslyevery year. Many external funding agenciesinterpret this Alumni Participation rate (APr)as a tangible measure of alumni satisfaction. Inother words, every donor, not just every dollar,counts! for example, your contribution willhelp raise Lyonβs APr, which in turn may con-vince a foundation that Lyon is worthy of itssupport also; your $10 now may be just thevote of confidence needed to secure a multi-million dollar request from a foundation in thenear future. Consistent annual giving, even if itis $10 each year, helps your Alma Mater bydemonstrating to other potential funders thatyou care about her future. for more informa-tion about how you can strengthen Lyonβs rep-
utation by showing your financial support,please contact gina garrett, Director ofDevelopment, at (870) 307-7557.

A Letter from the PresidentDear Members of the Lyon Family,
What a difference a year makes. The Lyon community has just notedβnot celebratedβthe one year anniversary of the fire that destroyed Edwards Commons. Despite the major challenges this loss has imposed, I am thankful to report that Lyon continues to deliver a first-rate liberal arts education.
After months of eating in the small gym, the campus rejoiced at the opening of our new temporary dining facility, βThe Temp.β On October 21, the Board of Trustees was on hand for the official groundbreaking for the new campus center, which will provide more space for dining and student activities than we have ever had before. A gift of $10,000 or more earned several supporters the right to wield a shovel (see list of donors on the right). Representatives from RPPY Architects and East-Harding Construction Company assisted these donors.
At the beginning of fall semester, Dean Virginia Wray unveiled a new program to assist freshmen as they take on the demands of college coursework. The Supplemental Instruction Program, directed by Dr. Amy Schmidt, is built around upper-class students who serve as instruction leaders. Each leader must monitor a freshman core course and be prepared to meet weekly with freshmen seeking to improve their study techniques. These student leaders are not a replacement or substitute for the professors who teach the courses, but rather provide additional support and advice for new students who seek to develop necessary college survival skills.
This year, Lyon has also launched Lambda Delta, an honorary society designed to recognize academic achievements and leadership potential in first-year students. To be considered for admission, students must have a 3.5 grade point average or better. Dr. Wesley Beal, Dean Virginia Wray, and I took part in the first initiation ceremony for the society this fall, inducting 21 students who completed their freshman year in 2010-11. We look forward to the many ways this select organization will enrich the academic culture at Lyon.
As you can see, Lyon College remains dedicated to strengthening our educational community, which is already recognized as one of the best in the nation. As always, it is a joy to be part of the Lyon family.
Warmest regards,
Donald WeathermanPresident
