CampusNewsHumanities professors become authorsA lifelong interest in NativeAmericans was the common inspirationfor two new books written byprofessors in Ozarks’ Humanities andFine Arts Division.Dr. Dave Daily, assistant professorof religion, and Dr. Steve Oatis,assistant professor of history, recentlybecame first-time authors with thepublication of their scholarly books.Daily’s book, published by theUniversity of Arizona Press, is titled,Battle for the BIA: G.E.E. Lindquist andthe Missionary Crusade Against JohnCollier. Oatis’ book, which is publishedby the University of Nebraska Press istitled, A Colonial Complex: SouthCarolina’s Frontiers in the Era of theYamasee War, 1680-1730.Daily’s book is about an intenselypersonal and high-stakes battle forcontrol over the Bureau of IndianAffairs and the direction of federalIndian policy. Pitting G.E.E. Lindquist,an influential Protestant missionary,against John Collier, Commissioner ofIndian Affairs (1933-1945), this battleultimately changed the shape ofProtestant support for Indianassimilation, according to Daily.Daily said the inspiration for thebook dated back to his childhood whenhe and his family took vacations toArizona, NewMexico and Utah.“The scenerywas great, butlearning about theNavajos andPueblos was alsofun,” said Daily.“Then, during myfirst year ingraduate school, I took acourse on religious diversity andchange in the American West. Thecourse rekindled my interest in NativeAmerican history and missions toNative Americans.”Professors and first-time authors (fromleft) Dr. Dave Daily and Dr. Steve Oatis.The University of Arizona Presssaid Daily’s “survey of Lindquist’scareer raises important issues regardingtribal rights and the place of Nativepeoples in American society. It offersnew insights into the domesticcolonialism practicedby the United Statesas it tells of one ofthe great untoldbattles in thehistory of Indianaffairs.”Dr. Daily, whoearned his Ph.D.from DukeUniversity, has been atOzarks since 2000.Oatis’ book is billed as one of thefirst detailed studies of the conflictbetween an upstart British Colony inSouth Carolina and its Indianneighbors, most notably the Yamasees,a group whose sovereignty had becomeincreasingly threatened. The SouthCarolina militia retaliated repeatedlyuntil, by 1717, the Yamasees werenearly annihilated, and their survivorsfled to Spanish Florida. The war notonly sent shock waves throughoutSouth Carolina’s government, economy,and society, but also had a profoundimpact on colonial and Indian culturesfrom the Atlantic Coast to theMississippi River.Drawing on a diverse range ofcolonial records, “A Colonial Complex”builds on recent developments infrontier history and depicts the YamaseeWar as part of a colonial complex: Abroad pattern of exchange that linkedthe Southeast’s Indian, African, andEuropean cultures throughout the late17th and early 18th centuries.Oatis said the book is based on adissertation that he did in his Ph.D.work at Emory College.“I've always been interested inNative American history, from the time Iwas a kid, and when I got to graduateschool I was intrigued by all thepossibilities that were out there forstudying the interaction between Indiansand Europeans,” said Oatis, who hasbeen at Ozarks since 1999. “I chose tostudy the Yamasee War and the earlyhistory of South Carolina partly becauseI was going to grad school at Emorythat has a strong emphasis on Southernhistory and partly because the historicalrecords were relatively close by. Themore I got into the project, though, themore I learned just how much there wasabout the topic that hadn’t beenexplored or discussed yet.”Taddie attends conferenceDr. Daniel Taddie, Ozarks’ vicepresident for academic affairs anddean of faculty, recently attended theHarvard Institute for EducationalManagement at Harvard University inCambridge, Mass.Dr. Taddie was one of 94 highereducation senior leaders to attend thetwo-week program. The program wastaught by Harvard professors as wellas administrators from throughout thecountry. Topics included internal andexternal leadership, developing andworking with senior leadership teams,governance, finance, assessment,campus community, innovation andchange in a changing environment,technology, transformational learning,planning, vision and values.Today, FALL/WINTER 2004 7

CampusNewsFirst couple displays Southern hospitalityWhen Ozarks President Dr. Rick Niece and his wifeSherée were interviewing for the top position at the universityin the spring of 1997, they met with several graduatingseniors. One of the things that stood out in those discussionswas that many of those seniors had never been to thePresident’s Home.“We were surprised that these students had been here fouror five years and had never stepped foot in the President’sHome,” Dr. Niece said. “It just didn’t make any sense to us. Ithink it was at that point we decided if we were to get theopportunity to come to Ozarks, we would change that.”Change it they would. In the past seven years since theyhave become the first couple of Ozarks, the number of gueststhe Nieces have hosted in their home has surpassed awhopping 18,000, many of them students.Most of the students have entered the President’s Home aspart of three new traditions the Nieces began in their first yearat Ozarks: New Student Dinners, Senior Dinners and theGraduating Seniors Luncheon. The Nieces’ hospitality is sucha novelty that the student dinners were featured in a large,front-page article in Arkansas’ state-wide newspaper, TheArkansas Democrat-Gazette, in September.The president’s 3,300-square-foot, two-story house wasbuilt in 1969 through donations by the university’s AlumniAssociation.“The Alumni Association built the President’s House andwe feel it’s important to share the house with our current andfuture alumni, as well as the rest of the campus community,”Dr. Niece said.The New Student Dinners, usually held early in the FallSemester, have brought 2,266 incoming students to thePresident’s Home. The dinners are usually held in groups ofabout 25-30 and are held in what the Nieces call “the movieroom,” which is adorned with posters of some of their favoritemovies such asAmadeus,Casablanca and It’s aWonderful Life. Oneexample of a menu ata recent dinner wasLondon broil withsteamed green beans,fried potatoes andchocolate cake.“We started theNew Student Dinnersas a way to open ourhome to the8 Today, FALL/WINTER 2004Freshmen prepare to be served dinnerat the President’s Home.Images from theSenior Dinners,held at thePresident’sHome inNovember.students,” said Sherée. “The dinners give us an opportunity toget to know the students, learn their names, and to hearsomething about each of them. At the same time, they learnabout us in a more personal, interactive and relaxed setting.”Students are often surprised to see the university’spresident going from table to table refilling glasses of tea oroffering coffee to the guests.“By opening our home to the students and to the Ozarks’community, we are able to model our strong sense of serviceto others,” said Sherée. “We want students to understand thatserving others is a privilege.”Senior Dinners, held in November each academic year,are a time for the Nieces to thank the seniors for sharing theircollege years with them.“We enjoy watching students grow and develop interestsas they pursue their studies,” Sherée said. “We also evenremember where many of the seniors sat during their NewStudent Dinners. In many ways, they have become ourchildren during their stay at Ozarks. By having them in ourhome near the completion of their education, we learn abouttheir hopes and dreams for the future.”The Alumni Office uses the Senior Dinners and theGraduating Senior Luncheon in the spring to inform theseniors about their new status as U of O alumni and towelcome them as the newest chapter in Ozarks’ history.“Seniors typically find these dinners as an opportunity toreminisce about the times we all shared at Ozarks,” Dr. Niecesaid. “Many feel sad at the thought of leaving Ozarks upongraduation.”

CampusNewsCampus stages own debatein midst of political seasonAs the nation’s presidential electionheated up in the fall, the campuscommunity got into the spirit of thepolitical season by staging its ownpresidential debate.On Oct. 6, a student presidentialdebate was held on campus in front of alarge and spirited group of students. Theprogram consisted of a formal debate,followed by a question-and-answerstage from the audience.The moderator was political scienceprofessor Dr. Stewart Dippel. Thedebate panelists were divided as liberaland conservative, instead of Democratand Republican.“Over one-third of the country isindependent or undecided for this year’selection, and even after the election isover this country will still face the sameissues,” Dippel told the crowd.The panelists for the liberal sidewere Adam Ivy, a junior politicalscience major from Mountain View,Ark., and Robert Hines, a juniorpolitical science and internationaleconomics major from Little Rock.The panelists for the conservativeside were Elizabeth Drye and DavidRay. Drye is a senior political sciencemajor from Sheridan, Ark., and Ray is afreshman political science major fromBrighton, Tenn.During the formal debate, each sidewas allowed three minutes to respond tothe question and to the opposing side’sresponse. Some of the issues touched onincluded the War on Terror, a free Iraq,the possibility of the draft being reinstated,the country’s debt, homelandsecurity, environmental issues, thePatriot Act and social security. Thepanelists also stated what they envisionfor America over the next 20 years.Some of the issues raised by theaudience were homosexual marriages,outsourcing jobs and farming.There were not enough chairs in thehouse for the number of students duringStudents who took part in the politicaldebate included (from left) Elizabeth Drye,David Ray, Robert Hines and Adam Ivy.the event. The students took the debatevery seriously, showing up with stickersand signs to show their support.“The signs were fabulous,” saidHines. “The debate was fun, and itencouraged and persuaded students tovote at this election.”“The signs were awesome,” saidDrye. “I was surprised and pleased withthe size of the crowd. It proved thestudents do care and are politicallyactive. We are a generation that isactive and do care about this country.”Ray shared the same pride. “It’sgreat that such a large number ofstudents are interested in the issues thataffect our country,” he said.“I think the debate went extremelywell,” Ivy said. “The turnout was thebest thing about the debate. We hadover 150 people at the debate.”Ivy believes that the debate helpedindividuals become more involved inpolitics and the election.“It is up to us to decide the nation’sfuture,” Ivy said. “We cannot just sit onthe sidelines.”Dippel said he was impressed withhow prepared the panelists were.“The American people could learnjust as much about the issues bywatching our student debate as theycould if they’d watched the presidentialdebate,” Dippel said. “The quality ofthe student debate was high and thesubstance was on the same level.”Linda Grace Carcamo1978-200352Percent of majorscompleted at Ozarkssince 2003 that werefrom the Division of Business,Communications and Government,followed by the divisions of Mathand Science (20%), Humanities andFine Arts (11%), Education (10%)and General Studies (7%).62,000Estimated number of visitors to theuniversity’s Robson Library duringthe 2003-04 academic year.

CampusNewsCampus community lends helping handWhen the Clarksville HousingAuthority (CHA) lost one of its mainsuppliers of donated foods for its tenantslast summer, the university communitystepped in to fill the void.CHA, which serves almost 100households in the area, was notified lastspring that its main supplier ofnonperishable food items, ARVAC,would no longer be able to supplycertain items, including soups, cannedmeat, fruit and cereal.Ozarks’ Critical Inquiry (CI)program — which includes a requiredfirst-semester class for new students tohelp them get acclimated to college life— came to the rescue of the CHA foodpantry by sponsoring a semester-longfood drive that yielded numerous bagsof food and other items.The genesis of the efforts in helpingCHA came about from Dr. SharonGorman’s CI class. Gorman, professorof music and university organist, alsoserves as the campus coordinator for theCI program.Gorman’s CI course syllabus statesthat the class mission is to “look closelyat how we, as individuals and as agroup, can make a difference in theworld.”“When we heard that there was aDr. Sharon Gorman (right) and herCritical Inquiry class display some of thebags of food they helped gather for theClarksville Housing Authority.10 Today, FALL/WINTER 2004U of O students perform karaoke to entertain the tenants during the CHA Fall HarvestSocial. (Photos courtesy of CHA).need, the students in my class agreed tosponsor a food drive on campus,” saidGorman. “A big part of the CI class islearning the importance of becominginvolved in community serviceactivities, and this is exactly the type ofeffort that can help make a difference.We felt like it was a good way to get theentire campus involved in the effort.”Lucia Gomez, a sophomore fromNicaragua, was one of the students whohelped coordinate the food drive.“We heard that oftentimes theelderly have to choose betweenmedicine and food and that reallytouched us,” Gomez said. “We put upposters and signs around campus andsent out e-mails to get food. Everyoneon campus really supported and helpedout in the project. It’s been a memorableexperience.”The campus community donatedfood items such as pasta, cereal, rice,canned soups and fruits and peanutbutter, as well as other items likeshampoo, toothpaste and lotion. Inaddition, CI classes volunteered theirtime to CHA in other areas, includingdecorating and preparing food trays fortenant functions, sweeping and cleaningporch areas at elderly/handicappedunits, weeding flower beds, rakingleaves and trimming hedges. Ozarksstudents even provided entertainment atsome of the CHA functions.“The Clarksville Housing Authorityhas been very fortunate to havereceived help from Ozarks students thisfall,” said CHA Executive DirectorMetta Holman. “We were named theArkansas National Association ofHousing and Redevelopment Officials’2004 Agency of the Year in September.This award was obtained largely due toour community outreach activities andfood bank.“We appreciate the continuedsupport of our program and its goals byUniversity of the Ozarks’ faculty, staffand students.”

U of O basketball players andbrothers Brent and Brad Johnson havegrown accustomed to playing basketballtogether for years, but this season isdifferent. It is their final opportunity tocompete together, and both want tomake the most of it.“We definitely want to go to theconference post-season tournament,”said Brent, the older of the two. “Iwould like to finish my senior seasonwinning the tournament, and we’d liketo have the chance to do that together.”The Johnsons, who are expected tobe the starting backcourt for the Eaglesthis season, grew up in Ozark, Ark., andwere known as hard-nosed, competitiveplayers on the court at Ozark HighSchool. That competitive spirit hascontinued with them in college. SisterLacey was an honorable-mention allconferenceplayer for Ozarks in 2001.“We are all very competitive,” saidBrad. “It was always a battle between uswhen we were kids. We’ve playedbasketball ever since we were bigenough to shoot a ball towards the hoop.Playing games against each other in thebackyard are some of the mostmemorable times I’ve had with Brent.”Following all-state high schoolcareers, the Johnsons have foundsuccess in college as well.Brent, a 6-2 shooting guard, missedall of the 2002-2003 season with a kneeinjury but bounced back last year to benamed an American SouthwestConference All-East Division first-teammember. A solid outside shooter whoalso likes to drive hard to the basket,CampusNewsBrent averaged a team-high 15.4 pointsa game last year and led the team inthree-pointers with 48. He is closing inon 1,000 career points. He is also one ofthe team's top defenders as evidenced byhis team-high 45 steals last year.Brad, a quick 5-10 junior pointguard, has been a floor-leader anddefensive standout, ranking among thetop assists and steal leaders in the ASCthe past two seasons. He averaged 3.2points last season and has 136 assists thepast two years.“They really help set the tone of ourteam,” said head coach Matt O’Connor.“They work hard in practice every dayand their toughness and competitivenessare seen by the entire team. They areclose, and they support each other ineverything they do. You can tell there’sa real bond there.”Hard work is something the brotherstake tremendous pride in.“Nothing comes easy and that’s whatwe’ve been taught all of our life,” saidBrent, a physical education major whowould like to go into coaching when hegraduates. “We knew nothing wouldever be given to us, so we’ve had towork for it. Learning to work hard at ayoung age has really helped us.”Led by the Johnsons and a bevy ofreturning guards such as Caleb Hilton,Josh Joyner, Jacob Sibley and ScottMcCall, the Eagles are expected to use afast-paced, uptempo style to improve onlast year’s record of 11-14 overall and 8-6 in the ASC.

Sixty years ago the Ozarks campus moved off College Hilland into the First Presbyterian Church in Clarksville after theU.S. Navy took over the college for a training programMargaret (Wright) French Biazo remembers howexciting it was to watch a new class of U.S. Navymen get off the train in downtown Clarksville andmarch up College Hill to a campus that had been transformedfrom a place of higher education to a naval training facility.“We knew exactly when they would arrive each weekand we’d make sure to be out there,” said French. “It was justnot the sort of thing we were used to seeing in Clarksville.”It was sixty years ago that the U.S. Navy took over whatwas then The College of the Ozarks for a program calledelementary electricity and radio materiel electronics (EE &RM School) training. In actuality, it was early radar training.The entire college, which then had about 150 students,was moved down the hill to the Presbyterian Church.During the height of World War II, the Ozarks campusplayed a significant role in helping the country’s war effortsby giving the U.S. Navy full control of the university’sfacilities to run its training program. The Navy occupied theOzarks campus from January 1944 to April of 1945.Biazo ended up meeting a young Navy recruit fromKingsville, Texas, Robert French, at a Sunday afternoonsocial in 1945. They were married six months later and weretogether for 52 years before he passed away in 1997.“We became acquainted with the Navy men when theywould come to visit us,” said Biazo, who remarried in 2003and is living in Springdale, Ark. “Friendships were made, inwhich many cases led to lasting relationships.”Professor and historian Dr. Raymond Watson of Huntsville,Ala., has done extensive research on the Navy program,which was officially called Radio Materiel Training School.According to Watson, “radio” was a cover for “radar,” whichwas still secret and in its early stages at the time. Initiated inJanuary 1942, immediately after Pearl Harbor, EE & RMSchool was considered the most difficult training program forenlisted personnel offered during the war.“It was said that the average IQ of successful students inthe program exceeded that of graduates from Harvard, MITand similar schools,” said Watson.Entrance to the program was through the Eddy Test,which had about a 25 percent pass record. Those passing theEddy Test first attended a one-monthpre-radio school (offered at severaljunior colleges in Chicago) that hadabout a 50 percent passing rate.From there, they went to one ofeight Primary Schools located aroundthe country. The Primary Schoolsconsisted of a three-month trainingperiod and had a pass rate of about 70percent. The training program atOzarks was originally at the NavalResearch Laboratory in Washington,D.C., but transferred to Ozarks inJanuary 1944, according to Watson.In addition to Ozarks, PrimarySchools were located at OklahomaA&M; University of Houston; GroveCity College in Pennsylvania; BlissMargaret (Wright)French Biazo metlate husband RobertFrench while hewas stationed atOzarks.12 Today, FALL/WINTER 2004

Electrical School in Maryland; Utah State; Dearborn, Mich.;and Monterey, Calif.Those making it through Primary School then went toSecondary School, a six-month activity at one of four locations— three for ship equipment and one for aircraft systems.Attendees at the EE & RM schools were Navy, Marineand Coast Guard enlisted men. The instructors were mainlyNavy and Marine personnel, usually with civilian teachingexperience. One of the instructors at Ozarks was a Marinenamed Frank Genochio, who later served in the South Pacificwhere he was instrumental in establishing the “Navaho CodeTalkers,” made famous in the 2002 film Windtalkers.Weekday classes ran nine hours, with a required studyperiod in the evenings. Saturday mornings were for examinations.John Westkaemper of Austin, Texas, a retired engineeringprofessor, was part of the training program’s last class atOzarks. He recalls the classes covering such topics as electricaltheory, principles of vacuum tubes and the operation ofvarious circuits using those tubes.“Navy life picked up dramatically when I arrived inClarksville,” Westkaemper said. “The location was attractive,the duties weren’t onerous, the people were pleasant and theweather was nice. We were given liberty on weekends, andbecause Clarksville was small and didn’t have any beerjoints, we soon learned that Russellville was more exciting.We spent a lot of weekends in Russellville.”College officials learned that the Navy would take overthe campus in early December of 1943. In a span of aboutthree weeks, the college set up shop at the PresbyterianChurch, complete with administrative offices, library, labsand classrooms.In a 1944 article for School and Society journal, RichardArmour wrote about the Ozarks’ frantic efforts to move thecampus:In January of 1945, the entire university moved down the hill tothe First Presbyterian Church.Instructors in the U.S. Navy Radio Materiel Training School posefor a photo in front of Munger Chapel in 1945.“There was work to be done. Partitions and plasteringhad to be thrown up to subdivide the two large Sundayschooldepartments into eight reasonably soundproof classrooms.College cafeteria equipment had to be transferred tothe church kitchen. All the educational paraphernalia,including laboratory equipment and 15,000 books, had to bebrought down the hill to the church. … President, dean,faculty members and students went to work with a zest andenergy that amazed even themselves … The decision to movewas made on December 9. On January 5, college classesbegan in the new location … The months went by. The navalschool grew to 1,000, graduating a class of 100 each week.The college settled down to its routine. Students acceptedtheir new surroundings and cheerfully went to church everyday. “When the war is over,” they said quietly, “we shall goback up on the hill.”While classes were held in the various rooms, includingthe sanctuary, of the First Presbyterian Church, many of thecollege’s female students were housed in the church’s adjoiningManse, a house of 12 to 14 rooms.“There were probably 40 or 50 of us crowded into thathouse; four or six to a room” said Helen McElree, a 1947Ozarks graduate who lives in Fayetteville, Ark. “It sure madeit difficult to find time to get a shower with that many girlsliving in the house.”Watson estimates that a total of about 30,000 men wentthrough the entire EE & RM program, of which about 3,000(or 10 percent) were stationed at the Ozarks campus at onetime. If, as some historians say, radar helped win worldWorld War II, then Ozarks played a small role.“This (radar) training, its creative originators, and thestudents involved deserve recognition in modern history,”Watson said.The college’s only profit from the U.S. Navy during theperiod was in the rental of the facilities, which totaled $1,100a month. But even that did not cover the inconvenience andcost the college incurred in setting up temporary accommodations.However, as the college Board of Trustees minutes fromJune 1, 1945 so succinctly record, the true benefit was thecollege’s “satisfaction in serving the country.”Today, FALL/WINTER 2004 13

Haines isa picturesque community of about2,000 people situated on the upper endof the Inside Passage in southeastAlaska. The community, in an areaknown as the Valley of the Eagles, issurrounded by snowcapped mountains,lush meadows and dense forests.“When I got off the ferry, I thinkmy mouth was agape for the firstcouple of days,” said Ward, who grewup in Beebe, Ark. “The funny thing isthat I didn’t really care for the cold.But, needless to say, I got used to it.”Retired since the mid-1970s, Wardhas turned her energies in the lastquarter of a century toward communityservice in Haines, volunteeringher time and resources in such areas asthe library, museum, PresbyterianChurch and the schools. She has madesuch an impact on the small communitythat she was honored on June 13with a surprise reception declaring itas Doris Owen Ward AppreciationDay.
