SEASON PREVIEWLADY TIGER SOCCER
LADY TIGER PROGRAM, SENIORS,READY FOR FOURTH SEASON ATTACK
J—/ntering just their fourth season ofNCAA Division I competition, the Lady Ti-ger soccer team has become one of the pre-mier collegiate programs in the Mid-South.While their first three seasons have beenimpressive, there is a feeling in the LadyTiger camp that the 1998 team may go evenfarther.
One of the reasons for the excitementis the presence of the six seniors, five ofwhich have played for the Lady Tigers sincethe team's inaugural season. Jodi Fisher,Christy Caswell, Jennifer Vossen,Frances Currin, LaVonne Hill, andLindley Harrison have been the backboneof the program that has reached new heightsevery season.
Fisher and Caswell have been the topoffensive weapons for the Lady Tigers dur-ing the program's first three seasons. Fisheris Memphis' all-time leading goal-scorerand points-leader. A two-time all-Confer-ence USA selection, Fisher led the LadyTigers with nine goals last season. Caswell,meanwhile, is the Lady Tigers' all-time as-sists leader. She led the 1997 squad witheight assists and 24 points, and she earnedsecond-team all-Conference USA honorsfor the second time in her career.
Vossen has also played a major role inthe Lady Tigers' success. The Maryland
Heights, Mo., native had an outstandingsophomore year. She tallied 10 goals and28 points en route to earning second-teamall-Conference USA honors. Last season,Vossen continued her playmaker role andfinished as the team's fifth leading scorer.
Of all the seniors, Currin has undoubt-edly showed the most improvement duringthe team's first three years. The goalkeeperhas put in hours of practice to improve hergame. She has gained maturity, confidence,and has developed into one of the league'stop goaltenders. The results on the field havebeen remarkable for Currin. In 1995,Currin had a 3.52 goals against average andno shutouts. In 1997, she recorded a 1.83GAA and four shutouts.
Hill has also made significant contri-butions to the Lady Tiger program duringher career at Memphis. Her value is in herversatility: Hill has played and performedat almost every position on the field. Shealways brings a lot energy and enthusiasminto the game.
Harrison may have only played one sea-son so far at The University of Memphis,but she made an immediate impact on theLady Tigers. The Rhodes transfer scoredthe game-winning goal in Memphis' firstvictory in 1997, a 1-0 shutout over UT-Chattanooga. She is part of the senior corethat has made the women's soccer team asuccess in just three short years.
And while the team's past accomplish-ments are noteworthy, the future looks evenbrighter. Memphis returns two juniors andseven sophomores from the 1997 squad.
Perhaps the biggest reason for the ex-citement surrounding the 1998 season is theeight newcomers. They have the potentialto be the best recruiting class ever for theLady Tigers. Coaches Les Szabo and PamKalinoski placed an emphasis on local tal-ent and recruited four of the top women'ssoccer players from the Memphis area. Addto that four other oustanding recruits fromSt. Louis, Chicago, and Canada, and the LadyTigers' line-up is stacked with talent anddepth at every position.
Lady Tiger senior Lindiey Harrison made immediate
contributions after transferring to The U of M.
And the newcomers should expect tosee a lot of playing time this season.
"It will be a challenge integrating thenew players with those returning," said LadyTigers' head coach Les Szabo. "We havedepth at every position and everyone willbe competing for playing time. This willonly enhance our level of play."
Two of the newcomers in 1998 will bejoining their older sisters on the Lady Ti-gers squad. Stephanie Vossen will be play-ing with her senior sister Jennifer, andSusannah Harrison will be teamed up withher senior sister Lindley. In addition, fresh-man Jennifer Thiele will have the supportof her brother Philip, a sophomore de-fender for the Memphis men's soccer team.
This talented Lady Tigers squad will becompeting against some quality opponentsin 1998. The non-conference schedule in-cludes games against Oklahoma, Missis-sippi State, and Ole Miss. The balance ofpower in Conference USA makes everyleague game a challenge. And Memphis willget a look at two new conference opponentsin 1998, Houston and Southern Miss.
The Lady Tigers have become one themost dangerous teams in the Mid-Southafter just their first three seasons, and thisseason the expectations are even higher.The leadership and experience of the return-ing veterans combined with the talentedyoung recruits should make 1998 anotherrecord setting season for the Lady Tigers.

ASSISTANT COACHESLADY TIGER SOCCER
PAM KALINOSKIASSISTANT COACHJ_ am Kalinoski joined theMemphis women's soccer staff asone of the most decorated womenin NCAA soccer history. But theroad to the top for Kalinoski
started at the bottom - as a walk-on.The native of North Olmsted, Ohio was named a high school
ail-American her senior year in 1986. Upon graduation, Kalinoskihoped to receive a scholarship from perennial soccer powerhouseNorth Carolina. Although the scholarship offer never came,Kalinoski still chose to walk on to the Lady Tarheel squad.
Kalinoski quickly became one of the leaders on a team thatwent 89-0-5 during her playing career and won four consecutiveNCAA titles. During that time, Kalinoski made a name for herselfin the soccer community by earning a starting position in the NorthCarolina midfield and capturing Offensive Most Valuable Playerhonors at the 1991 NCAA Women's Soccer Championship Tour-nament.
As captain of the Lady Tarheels her senior season, Kalinoskiset a perfect example for players to come by finishing her cam-paign as the NCAA's career assists leader. Her record was brokentwo years later by fellow teammate Mia Hamm.
However, her name remains in the UNC record book in sev-eral categories. She is first in consecutive matches with an assist(12 matches between 10/13/91 to 11/24/91), second in careerassists with 51 and second in most assists in a season with 28 in1991. She continues to rank among the top 25 UNC career lead-ers in goals and points.
Kalinoski also led the team off the field, where she was namedto the Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Honor Roll, the UNCDean's List and the NCAA Freshman All-America team.
In her three seasons as the Lady Tiger's assistant coach,Kalinoski has played a major role in the team's success. One ofthe lessons she consistently teaches her players is to be aggres-sive on offense. In 1997, the Lady Tigers were fourth in Confer-ence USA in scoring and first in shots taken.
Kalinoski joined the U of M staff after spending three yearsworking in public relations in Sacramento, Calif. During her sparetime, Kalinoski is actively involved in coaching Memphis-areayouth teams and also provides specialized skill instruction at theannual U of M youth soccer camps which run for three weeks eachJune.
BROOKS MONAGHANASSISTANT COACH
-fter a brilliant three-year playing career at The Universityof Memphis, Brooks Monaghan begins his fourth season as an as-sistant coach for the Lady Tigers.
As the primary goalkeeper coach, Monaghan has been a vitalpart of coach Les Szabo's staff during the program's first threeseasons. Memphis' goals against average has dropped from 2.74in 1995 to 1.67 in 1997. In addition, Lady Tiger goalkeepers re-corded seven shutouts in 1997, three more than in their first twoseasons combined.
Monaghan was a three-year starter for the Tigers after trans-ferring from the University of Evansville following his freshmanseason. A former prep standout for Christian Brothers High Schoolin Memphis, Monaghan returned to his hometown and became animmediate impact on the Tiger Soccer program.
Monaghan's superb goaltending in 1992 led Memphis to aschool-best 14-3-2 record and the co-championship of the GreatMidwest Conference. Of the 14 wins the Tigers posted in 1992,11 came via a Monaghan shutout, the largest single-season total
by a Tiger goalkeeper. Monaghanfinished the 1992 season with anamazing goals against average of0.80.
In 1993, Monaghan helpedlead the Tigers to the Great Mid-west Conference Tournament crown and the team's first ever berthin the NCAA tournament.
At Christian Brothers High School, Monaghan anchored aPurple Wave squad that won two Tennessee State championships.The goalkeeper received the highest accolade for a prep playerwhen he was named a high school ail-American after his 1991 sea-son. He was also a two-time all-state performer for David DeitrichatCBHS.
Monaghan has continued to play soccer at the club and semi-professional level, most recently with the New Orleans GamblersoftheUSISL.

1998 SEASON PREVIEWTIGER SOCCER
NEW LOOK TIGERS HUNGRYFOR SUCCESS
A ans of The University of Memphismen's soccer team better have their rostersready on Opening Night (see page 23).Fourteen players will be making their de-buts in a Tiger uniform, the largest recruit-ing class ever for head coach Chris Bartels.Gone from last year's squad are seven se-niors and eight starters, accounting for two-thirds of the team's total 1997 offensive pro-duction. But Bartels has reloaded his rosterwith some talented recruits, and his majorchallenge is getting his players to gel to-gether and play as a team.
"We have a very young team this yearand a very talented team," said Bartels. "Alot of these guys have played high schoolor club soccer together so the transitionmay be a bit smoother for them. Each oneof them has come to Memphis to win andto play in the NCAA Tournament, and I thinktheir hunger were translate into a success-ful season."
Despite the numerous changes in theline-up, Bartels knows he has consistencyat the ever-important goalkeeper position.Junior Brian Covey has started everymatch in goal since his freshman season, aspan of 39 consecutive games. Last sea-son, Covey made a conference second-best99 saves in net, including a season-high 11against eighth-ranked Portland. RobbyHagemann played strong in relief of Coveylast season. The sophomore from Okla-homa City will be ready when called uponin 1998, as will Memphis product JohnStoever.
The offensive production in 1998 willneed to come from a variety of sources, butthe Tigers are looking for junior forwardSteven Brooks to continue his stellar play.Brooks was one of three Tigers to score 10goals last season, tying him for fourthamong Conference USA leaders. Also re-turning at forward is sophomore TommyWhite, who scored two game-winninggoals and recorded eight points. White'sspeed and quickness make him a dangerousoffensive threat.
Returning at midfield are two veterans,senior Matt Briggs and junior JoeyLewis. Briggs, 6-3, uses his size and ag-gressiveness to out-battle his opponent.Lewis is a sharp player who handles the ballwell under pressure. While their playingstyles are quite different, Briggs and Lewiswill both need to fill a leadership roleamong a young Tiger team.
Also returning at midfield is sopho-more Nick Glaser, a 1997 ConferenceUSA all-freshman team selection. Glaserstarted in 18 matches last season and reg-istered five goals and five assists. Bran-don Crossett, Jason Cutter, and BradMiller will all compete for playing timein the Tiger midfield.
The Tigers' defense will be anchoredby 6-1 junior Philip Thiele. TheEdmonton, Alberta, Canada, native had avery strong second half of the season lastyear, starting the final 12 matches. Alsobolstering the Tiger backfield will be jun-ior Brad Clark and sophomore Richard
Keene, who are both coming off im-pressive spring workouts.
And while these veterans will lookto carry the load, the 14 newcomerswill be asked to make an immediateimpact. Ryan Schwaigert, DavidMedlock, and Taylor Stirling areall Memphis area products who arereturning to their hometown afterplaying one year of collegiate soc-cer elsewhere. Schwaigert was afreshman starter for NCAA Tourna-ment participant and nationallyranked and Bowling Green State, and
he can play both forward and defense.Medlock helped anchor the defensive unitfor UMKC, and Stirling registered threegoals and an assist for Belhaven College.
Also joining the Tigers from the Mem-phis area are Stephen Lewis, JustinStralka, Matt Letterman, Kyle Attarianand Jacob Lindquist. Brian Scalise ofChattanooga, Tenn., Darren Bevard ofKansas City, Mo, and Todd Gingrich ofRoscoe, 111. will also be making their Tigerdebuts this year. Bartels is also bringing insome talented international recruits. LiamMcGrath, a central defender from Scot-land, and Sean Fraser and Kenny Matsubafrom Edmonton round out Bartels' largestrecruiting class to date.
Memphis once again faces a qualityline-up of opponents in 1998. The non-con-ference schedule includes games againstTJNLV, California-Santa Barbara, WesternIllinois, and crosstown rival ChristianBrothers University. The always demand-ing Conference USA schedule includes fourteams that played in the 1997 NCAA Tour-nament, including Final Four participantSaint Louis. Memphis will see only twohome matches in the month of September,but six of their final nine contests will beplayed at Echles Field.
Bartels and the Tigers have several rea-sons to be optimistic about the 1998 sea-son. A quality mix of players will join asolid nucleus of the returning veterans. Ifthe team can find the right chemistry, Mem-phis Tigers' fans can throw away their ros-ters and replace it with a copy of the NCAATournament pairings.

PERSONAL INFO47 years oldBorn in Teaneck, N.J.Married to Victoria BartelsHas three children: Teddy, 10; Ross, 8; Thomas, 41 1th Season at The University of MemphisU of M Career Record: 100-80-1 8 / 10 seasons
In addition, the Tigers were nationally rankedfor the first time in the program's history. On Sep-tember 15, Soccer News ranked The University ofMemphis 18th in the country.
Memphis' success in 1997 is only the latestexample of an overall winning trend. In the past sixseasons, Bartels' Tigers are 65-45-11 overall, andan amazing 44-12-5 at home.
That streak of games began in 1992 whenBartels' second recruiting class led the way to a 14-3-2 record and regular season co-championship ofthe Great Midwest Conference. The '92 squadequaled the most wins ever by a Tiger soccer teamand set a new single-season record for highest win-ning percentage (.789).
In 1993, Bartels' third recruiting class helpedlead the Tigers to their first NCAA Tournament ap-pearance. Disappointed with the NCAA tournamentsnub in 1992 despite a 14-win season, the Tigersrallied in the Great Midwest Conference Tournamentto defeat nationally ranked Saint Louis to claim the
CMC Championship and theconference's first automaticbid to the NCAA Tournament.
Between 1993-95, theTigers put together an im-pressive streak where theywent 16-1-2 at home, includ-ing a nine-game winningstreak. In 1996, Memphisrecorded five consecutiveshutouts and allowed only 21goals against all season long.
Since Bartels arrived atThe University of Memphis in1988, he has seen major im-provements in the programand the soccer faci l i t ies .Bartels has worked with theathletic department, TigerClubs, and the Friends ofSoccer club to make majorimprovements to EchlesField, home of the Tigers. In1992, permanent seating wasincreased to a capacity of1,000 and the Tigers averaged
just under 800 fans per game.The season high was an over-flow crowd of 1,290 againstSaint Louis.
In 1991, Bartcls was voted Great MidwestConference Coach of the Year after the Tigers went4-1 and finished second overall in league play.
During his tenure at Memphis, Bartels hascoached six all-region players and 17 all-conferenceselections, including two CMC Tournament MVPs,two all-freshman honorees and a conference New-comer of the Year. Two of his goalkeepers havewon player of the week accolades. But Bartels' mostimpressive accomplishments may be in the area ofacademics.
Bartcls not only brings the best out of his ath-letes on the field, but in the classroom as well. Boththe university and the conference have recognizedhis teams for their academic achievements. The Ti-gers placed nine members on the Great MidwestConference All-Academic Team in 1993 and 11 in1992. In 1992 and 1993, The U of M recognizedBartels' Tigers as the team with the highest grade-point average. During that time, the soccer squadalso had the highest graduation rate among The Uof M athletic programs. This past spring, nine ofBartels1 athletes made the I lonor Roll.
A New Jersey native, Bartels attended RiverDell High School in Oradcll, N.J., before signing asoccer scholarship with Bowling Green State Uni-versity. As a junior at BGSU, Bartcls worked in thepublic relations department for the New York Cos-mos. After graduating in 1973 with a degree in jour-nalism and public relations, Bartels stayed at BGSUas an assistant coach until he became a player/coachfor the Athletes in Action soccer team. In 1980,Bartels returned to BGSU as an assistant coach andphysical education instructor while earning a master'sdegree in physical education.
Bartels, who has worked as general manageror coach for three professional soccer teams, ar-rived in Memphis in 1982 as an assistant coach andplayer-personnel director for the Memphis Ameri-cans of the Major Indoor Soccer League. Later, heserved as the head coach and General Manager ofthe Kalamazoo Kangaroos in the American IndoorSoccer Association.
From 1986 to 1987 Bartels was General Man-ager of the Memphis Storm.
Bartels and his wife Victoria, have three chil-dren: Teddy, 10; Ross, 8; and Thomas, 4.

1997 REVIEW TIGER SOCCER
DESPITE RECORD OFFENSIVE NUMBERSTIGERS FALL SHORT OF SEASON GOAL
Tj_ ihe Scoreboard at Echles Field was usedoften in 1997. The Tigers scored 57 goals,the largest single-season total in team his-tory. Four times the Tigers netted at leastfive goals in a game, including a record 10-goal outburst against Alabama A&M on Oct.27. Memphis' success depended on theiroffensive production as they went 9-1 whenscoring at least three goals in a game. Butdespite the onslaught on the record book,the Tigers were unable to reach their sea-son goal, a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
The Tigers began the 1997 season very im-pressively, going 4-1-1 in their first sixmatches. On Sept. 7, Memphis upset theeighth-ranked Portland Pilots 3-1 at EchlesField. It was the highest-ranked opponentthat The University of Memphis had everdefeated. On Sept. 15, Soccer News rankedthe Tigers 18th nationally, the first timeMemphis had ever cracked the nationalpolls.
The Tigers ran into some tough luck in themiddle of the season, winning only onceover a seven-game span. However, a six-game home stand at the end of the seasonsaw the Tigers go 5-1 and outscore theiropponents 28-8.
1997 HIGHLIGHTS:
• The Tigers' 57 Goals, 49 assists, and 163 points were all single-seasonrecords.
• Rogerio Lima, an all-conference and all-region performer, became theTigers single-season and career assists leader.
Memphis' 3-1 victory over #8 Portland was the highest ranked opponentthe Tigers have ever defeated.
J The Tigers were ranked nationally for the first time ever on September15th by Soccer News.
• Memphis had three 10-goal scorers for the first time in team history
• The Tigers earned their 16th consecutive winning season at home.
Rogerio Lima was the Conference USA leader in goals, assists, points, and shots during
the regular season last year.
Memphis finished the season with a 10-8-2 overall record, and 2-5-1 in ConferenceUSA. The final numbers, however, may bemore impressive than they appear. The fiveconference losses were all decided by onegoal, and three of them came in overtime.The Tigers battled four nationally ranked op-ponents and six eventual NCAA Tournamentparticipants, including Final Four participantSaint Louis. Memphis finished the season
ranked 10th in thehighly competitiveMidwest Region.
Seven seniors endedtheir col legia teplaying careers in1997, after makingenormous contribu-tions to the Tigersoccer program.After only two sea-sons with the Tigers,Rogerio Lima lefthis mark on the Tigerrecord book. He istied for the all-time
record with 22 career assists, holds thesingle-season record of 12 assists and rankssecond among single-season point leaderswith 36 in 1997. Lima is one of two play-ers in Tiger history to finish with over 20career goals and 20 career assists. He isnow playing for the Long Island Rough Rid-ers of the A-Lcaguc.
Other graduating seniors include Ramonand Rolando Aguillon, Kurt Clemence, Ja-son Dunn, Chris Morris and Jeremy Tutor.
The Tigers finished the 1997 season as theConference USA leader in goals (57) andpoints (163), ranked second in assists (49)and third in shots (299). Lima, a first-teamall-conference selection, and Jeremy Tutor,a third-team all-conference selection, eachfinished among the top five league leadersin every offensive category.

THE PRESIDENT ADMINISTRATION
Dr. V. LaneRawlins
PresidentBrigham Young,
1963
Since becoming president of The University
of Memphis in 1991, Dr. V. Lane Rawlins has
instituted positive changes in the areas of aca-
demics, administration and student affairs at
the University. Further, he has gained the
support of leaders from business, campus, and
community in charting The U of M's path forthe
future.
Under Dr. Rawlins' guidance, the University
has put greater emphasis on innovative under-
graduate education, on excellence in research
and graduate education, on interpersonal com-
munication and understanding, and on im-
proving the internal workings of the University.
Taskforces he appointed have created fresh
approaches to diversity, public image, plan-
ning and budgeting, research and scholarship,
enrollment management, technology, and un-
dergraduate education.
One of the most important - and certainly
the most visible - of Dr. Rawlins1 accomplish-
ments has been the $26.5 million, Ned R.
McWherter Library, which houses more than
one million bound volumes and state-of-the-
art computer facilities.
But the president's activities have not been
limited to the campus. He also represents the
University in the community, serving on a
number of boards, a few of which include the
Memphis Area Chamber of Commerce, Lead-
ership Memphis, Goals for Memphis, Mem-
phis Partners and Free the Children.
In a wider venue, he was instrumental in the
formation of Conference USA, a 12-mernber
all-sports conference, and served as chairman
of the Board of Directors in its first year. Dr.
Rawlins also serves as Conference USA's repre-
sentative on the NCAA Division I Board of
Directors.
Before comingtoMemphis, Dr. Rawlinswas
vice chancellor of Academic Affairs for the
University of Alabama system. Earlier he had
spent 17 years at Washington State University,
rising from an assistant professor of economics
to chairman of the economics department to
vice provost.
The Rigby, Idaho, native earned his Bach-
elor of Science degree in economics from
Brigham Young University in 1963 and his
doctorate in economics from the University of
California at Berkeley in 1969. He has served
in research positions with the Brookings Institu-
tion and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public
and International Affairs, and as a consultantto
the U.S. Dept. of Labor and the Carnegie
Commission on Higher Education.
Dr. Rawlins has co-authored two books
dealing with public service employment, writ-
ten portions of 10 other books, and published
a number of articles in professional journals.
He is a member of Blue Key honorary
fraternity, Omicron Delta Epsilon, Omicron
Delta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi and the Alabama
Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Rawlins and his wife, Mary Jo, have three
children and six grandchildren.

THE UNIVERSITYADMINISTRATION
Eighty-six years ago, The University of
Memphis began as a small state teacher'scollege. Today, The U of M is a major center
for learning and research.
The University of Memphis' roots date
back to 1912, when radio was young, mo-
tion pictures weresilentand William Howard
Taft was in the White House. Named West
Tennessee State Normal School, the
institution's main purpose was to train and
educate secondary-school teachers.
Answering the need for a comprehensive
school in the Mid-South, WTSNS expanded
its curriculum. In 1941, the school's name
changed to Memphis State College and in
1957, the college received university status
and became Memphis State University. On
July 1,1994, the name was changed to The
University of Memphis. The U of M now has
some 19,000 students and a physical plantcomprising 1,160 acres on five different
sites.
The main campus lies in the center of a
sprawling metropolis and combines the con-
venience of a large city with the atmosphere
of a residential neighborhood. South Cam-
pus, which was once a veteran's hospital, is
home to the Billy J. Murphy Sports Complex
and student family housing. Students and
faculty members can conduct environmental
research at the Edward J. Meeman Biologi-
cal Field Station, which encompasses more
than 600 acres of forest, wetlands and fields
some 25 miles from the campus.
The University is guided by the principles
of academic integrity, sound management
and equal opportunity. With instruction, ser-
vice and research as interdependent goals,
the University commits its resources to the
social, cultural and economic welfare of the
region through partnerships with public and
private organizations. The University of Mem-
phis is accredited by the Commission on
Colleges of the Southern Association of Col-
leges and Schools to award bachelor's, first
professional, master's, educational specialist's
and doctoral degrees.
The University of Memphis offers bachelor's
degrees in 54 majors and 73 concentrations;
master's degrees in 54 majors and doctoral
degrees in 18 disciplines; one specialist de-
gree and one professional degree. The Uni-
versity is composed of six colleges, the Gradu-
ate School, the Cecil C. Humphreys School
of Law, the Loewenberg School of Nursing,
and the School of Audiology and Speech-
Language Pathology. The colleges are: the
College of Arts and Sciences, the College of
Communication and Fine Arts, the Fogelman
College of Business and Economics, the Col-lege of Education, the Herff College of Engi-
neering and the University College.
Reflecting its commitment to high-quality
teaching and national prominence in re-
search, The University of Memphis has five
Centers of Excellence and 24 Chairs of Excel-
lence. The University has a full-time faculty of
over 700.
While the University's commitment to edu-
cation remains its primary focus, the campus
also offers a variety of organizations, clubs,
honor societies and special-interest and ser-
vice groups. There are many fraternities and
sororities on campus as well as a number of
other clubs. Theatrical and musical produc-
tions are performed on three stages at the
Communication and Fine Arts Building. The
University also has its own art museum.

THE ATHLETIC DIRECTORADMINISTRATION
R.C.
JohnsonAthletic DirectorIowa, 1965
R.C. Johnson, who has worked for 27
years in athletic administration and served as
athletic director at Temple University, was
named the Director of Athletics at The Univer-
sity of Memphis on December 29, 1995.
"Clearly, R.C. Johnson is one of the pre-
mier athletic directors in the country," said Uni-
versity of Memphis President Dr. V. Lane Raw-
lins. "We were seeking an individual with
people skills, as well as a deep caring about
student-athletes and their futures.
"We searched long and hard for some-
one whom we felt had the talents to fit The
University of Memphis and the Memphis com-
munity, someone who was well respected in
NCAA circles. We checked every resource that
was available and feel that we could not have
found a more qualified individual with a bet-
ter record."
He initiated the start of a capital campaign
to add a new 8,000-square-foot football and
basketball office complex to the current Ath-
letic Office Building, a new basketball practice
facility that will be located adjacent to the HPER
Building on Echles Street and a complete reno-
vation of the Murphy Athletic Complex on Mem-
phis'south campus.
The eight million dollar campaign is the
largest fund raising effort in the history of Mem-
phis athletics and should bring the Tiger ath-
letic facilities on-line with Conference USA sis-
ter institutions as the school prepares to enter
the 21st century.
During the spring of 1997, Johnson ne-
gotiated the richest radio broadcast package
in Tiger athletic history with WGKX-FM 106 in
Memphis. The two-year agreement calls for KIX
to pay the University S360,000 for football and
men's basketball rights in 1997-98 and
$325,000 for the 1998-99 seasons.
In his short tenure, Johnson has created
the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, the Tiger
Clubs Board of Directors and the athletic
director's Ambassador's Club.
Johnson has conducted several meetings
with the Memphis Park Commission to add a
greater presence for the Tigers in Liberty Bowl
Memorial Stadium. Numerous signs will ap-
pear in the Liberty Bowl this fall indicating that
the stadium is the "home of the Tigers."
At Temple, Johnson was responsible for
directing a program with more than 500 stu-
dent-athletes in 20-men's and women's inter-
collegiate sports, including nationally visible
programs in men's basketball and football. He
was named Temple's director of athletics on
May 9,1994, after a national search.
The former Temple athletic director enjoys
a reputation for building private and corpo-
rate support for intercollegiate athletics and for

TIGER TRADITIONS ADMINISTRATION
WHYT/GEftS?When the University of Memphis first fielded
a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had se-lected a nickname for the squad.
Early references to the football team, tabbedthem only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of WestTennessee Normal School.
After the final game of the 1914 season, therewas a student parade. During this event, several Nor-mal students shouted, "We fight like Tigers." Thenickname was born.
More and more the nickname "Tigers" wasused, particularly in campus publications. But it didnot catch on with the newspapers downtown. Theycontinued to use "Normals" or the "Blue and Gray"when referring to the University.
Under coach Lester Barnard in 1922, Normal'sfootball team gave a ring of truth to that old studentyell about Tigers. The team adopted a motto - "Ev-ery Man A Tiger" and went on to score 174 pointswhile allowing their opponents just 29 points.
In the late 1920s, student publications anddowntown newspapers began referring to the foot-ball team as the "Teachers" or "Tutors". The Tigernickname would return. But not until 1939 was itfinally adopted as the official nickname for the Uni-versity of Memphis.
A BENGALFOR A MASCOT
For approximately 22 years, the sideline mas-cot for the University of Memphis athletics has beenthe Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the name of the currentmascot, puts in personal appearances at all Tiger foot-ball games, as well as numerous basketball games.TOM II has also been seen at Tiger baseball, soccerand women's basketball games.
The first tiger, purchased by the Highland Hun-dred (football booster group) in 1972, lived for 20years and was housed at the Memphis Zoo. TOMdied in February of 1992.
The story of how the first Tiger cub arrived inMemphis is quite interesting. On November 9,1972,the baby tiger was placed in a dog kennel in Michi-gan City, IN, and flown to Chicago's O'Hare Inter-national Airport. There it was placed aboard a Deltaflight and arrived in Memphis at 3:00 AM. C. Cleve-

land Drennon, an attorney and president of the High-land Hundred, approved a check for $ 1,500 to buythe animal, and TOM was taken to athletic directorBilly Murphy's office for a press conference.
In ceremonies at Liberty Bowl Memorial Sta-dium, the Highland Hundred officially presentedTOM to the University on November 11,1972.
The zookeeper, at the suggestion of his daugh-ter, called the little tiger, Shane. Once in Memphis,however, a contest was held to name the mascot.More than 2,500 entries came in to a committeechaired by Judge Harry Pierotti. The list ran fromSpook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, BigCat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny, and Shiloh to BengicWougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee.
Finally, the judges reduced the list to two: Shaneand TOM, for Tigers of Memphis. TOM won.
During his first few months in Memphis, BillProctor housed the tiger in his garage, which wasredecorated by the Highland Hundred. TOM wasguarded by Proctor's hound dog.
TOM II came to the University of Memphis inthe fall of 1992 and is housed at his new home atNixon Farms in Collierville, TN. His new home is3500 square feet and includes two pools, a water-fall, heated and air conditioned den box and hasseperately, a complete medical facility for his careand upkeep. The young tiger is nearly 500 poundsand is expected to be as large or larger than his pre-decessor, TOM, who was once the largest BengalTiger in captivity at 550 pounds.

SCHOOL COLORSThe University of Memphis' official school col-
ors of Royal Blue and Gray were selected in the early1900s.
The colors were chosen in an effort to showunity in a nation that was still recovering from theeffects of the Civil War. The student body thoughtthat by picking the colors of the North and the South,the school would show a togetherness among all stu-dents.
THE LOGOThe University of Memphis' official logo has
been redesigned by Craig Thompson, from DiscipleDesign in Memphis, TN.
The original logo was an MSU with a leapingtiger coining out from behind the letters. The newlogo is an "M" with a leaping tiger coming up overthe center of the "M".
