Dear Friends: This has been a marvelous year of spirit and excellence at Henderson State University. The ability to attract more students to live on campus in our two new residence halls added life and vitality to the institution. Attendance at plays, musicals, and athletic events has increased substantially. More importantly, the terrific spirit that we all associate with Henderson is stronger than ever. Building the two new residence halls was part of a larger strategic plan to strengthen campus life and to better “engage” our students. We revisited the freshman year experience program and added a “common book” that every freshman read and discussed during the first few weeks of school. The book selected, The Kite Runner, permitted our freshmen and faculty to discuss a number of important issues in the context of several different academic disciplines. When I heard students seriously discussing the book in line at the cafeteria, I knew we had “hit a home run.” The book brought students and faculty together in a way that few other academic efforts could. It also has been an exciting year in the various sports venues of Henderson State University. The Reddie Football team enjoyed its best season since 1985 … complete with a victorious Homecoming Battle of the Ravine. The Lady Reddie Volleyball team made the playoffs and won their own “battle of the ravine” with over 1,200 fans from Ouachita and Henderson urging their teams on. While this university is about academics, the athletic program is an important part of what we do in academics. Over 500 of our students are engaged in the athletic program to one extent or another. Most of these students pay their own way to college. When one considers how many students are engaged in athletic competition, sports medicine, recreation, band, and other areas ancillary to athletics, it is easy to see why we consider the Reddie athletic program to be an integral part of the spirit and tradition of Henderson. I hope to see you on our lovely campus soon. We would love to tell you about our exciting plans for Henderson.

A note from the President

Sincerely,

Charles D. DunnPresident

Reddie Report Winter 2006-07 • Page 2

“Into all thy children, Alma Mater Henderson.”

Who among us doesn’t love that last line of the Henderson alma mater? As graduates, former students and friends of this university, we all carry a little bit of Henderson with us every day. With this in mind, the alumni services office over the years has tried to deliver quality service to you through the Reddie Report magazine, the Red-E newsletters, updated website information, and through special promotions such as the Henderson license plate program and the MBNA affinity credit card.

As the cost of postage and printing has increased in past years, our operating budget has not. In that regard, the Henderson Alumni Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to follow the same path that other colleges and universities have been forced to travel; to create a dues-paying alumni association.

When you join the Henderson Alumni Association for $10 per household per year (two-year minimum), you will receive the following:

- Both issues of the Reddie Report each year- Special Reddie newsletters and updates- Access to your own Henderson campus e-mail address (e.g. sample@hsu.edu)- Access to other potential promotions

If you would like to become a lifetime member of the Henderson Alumni Association, the cost is only $200 per household.

Non-members will still receive one mailed issue of the Reddie Report, and will still have access to the Reddie Report online, but no other services will be offered.

To join, simply enclose your check (no cash, please) and forward to the address on the form. You may also call us toll-free at 1-877-733-2586 with your credit card.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

In that Ole’ Reddie Spirit,Bill Campbell (’57, ’73)HSU Alumni Association Board President

The university honored Hal Cooper and Dr. Darrell Brann, two Henderson graduates, as Distinguished Alumni at May 2006 Com-mencement ceremonies.

Hal Cooper received a bachelor of music education degree in 1966 from Henderson State Teachers College and a master of music education degree in 1973 from Henderson State College.

Since 1979, Cooper has been the director of bands at Arkansas Tech University (ATU) where he also serves as associate professor of music. His teaching assignments have included concert bands, jazz ensemble, orchestra, summer community band, conducting, marching band techniques, and band laboratory. In addition to teaching, he has administrative duties and supervises student teachers. He also directs the ATU summer music camps and is the sponsor of Kappa Kappa Psi band fraternity.

He is a member of several band and band directors’ organizations, has been guest conduc-tor of many honor band programs and has adjudicated many band contests.

While attending Henderson, Cooper played in a jazz ensemble called The Collegians. He has fond memories of working in Hot Springs, playing backup for performers such as Patti Page, Homer and Jethro, Phyllis Diller, Jerry VanDyke and Rosemary Clooney among others. Cooper was in the ROTC Band, a member of the marching band, and competed with the jazz band in the National Collegiate Jazz Festival at Notre Dame University in 1962, 1963 and 1964. As a member of The Collegians, he toured the Caribbean on a USO tour to Cuba, Puerto Rico and other islands.

Cooper said he is excited about his selection as a Distinguished Alumni. “I was completely

overwhelmed. There’s nothing quite as reward-ing and humbling as being honored by one’s peers and associates,” he said.

Dr. Darrell Brann graduated cum laude from Henderson in 1984 with a bachelor of science degree in biology. He has been profes-sor and associate director of the Institute of Neuroscience at the Medical College of Georgia since January 2005. He is also a professor with the Institute of Molecular Medicine and Genetics and the Department of Neurol-ogy with the Medical College of Georgia. He previously served as associate professor in those departments and was an associate professor in the Department of Physiology. Brann has also been an assistant research scientist and assistant professor at the college.

Brann has edited, authored and reviewed numerous professional publications.

Brann, the son of Mary Brann of Pine Bluff and the late Arnold Brann, was born in Dallas but raised in Pine Bluff. His mother established a family-owned restaurant in Pine Bluff that has now been in business more than 30 years. After graduating from Watson Chapel High School, Brann spent three years in the U.S. Army.

As a student at Henderson State, Brann was a member of the Beta Beta Beta biology honor society and the Alpha Chi honor society.

Brann said he is honored to receive Henderson’s Distinguished Alumni award. “The education I received at Henderson State University was top-notch, reflecting the excellence of a talented and dedicated faculty and administration who cared about their stu-dents. I found it to truly live up to its motto a “School With A Heart.”

Have hope for the future.That was the advice humanitarian and former

hostage Terry Waite offered to a capacity crowd at Henderson’s Arkansas Hall on Sept. 25, 2006. Waite, a hostage negotiator who was held captive in Beirut, Lebanon, for almost five years, lectured on terrorism and world affairs.

Since his release about 15 years ago, Waite has tirelessly devoted his time to humanitarian efforts around the world. He has written three books. Taken on Trust and Footfalls in Memory: Reflections from Solitude recount his experiences in captivity. His most recent book, Travels with a Primate, is a humorous account of his journeys with the Arch-bishop of Canterbury.

Waite is constantly in demand as a speaker, and the news media often seek his expert analysis on situations around the world.

His lecture was part of Henderson’s Common Book program that began during the 2006 fall se-mester. The program offers everyone on campus the opportunity to read and discuss the same book over the course of the semester. The program encourages students to create a community in and outside the classroom, while strengthening their reading, writ-ing and critical thinking skills.

The selected book for 2006 was The Kite Run-ner by Khaled Hosseini. The book describes the tragic history of Afghanistan from the last days of monarchy to the present days.

“It was exciting to see so many students, faculty and staff at Terry Waite’s lecture,” said Henderson librarian Lea Ann Alexander, who coordinates the Common Book program. “One

of the aims of the program is to serve as a focal point for engaging the Henderson community in formal and informal conversations about issues of importance in today’s world. This is exactly what happened on Monday night.

“Mr. Waite’s experiences in Lebanon and his humanitarian work give him a unique grasp of problems in the Middle East. He addressed some of the issues discussed in The Kite Runner from the viewpoint of someone who has first-hand knowl-edge,” she said.

After staying overnight at the Captain Hen-derson House, Waite answered questions at a press

conference at Huie Library.He focused on terrorism during his lecture.

As he discussed the Sept. 11 attacks in the U.S., Waite said, “For the first time, the U.S. experienced international terrorism firsthand” and Americans learned they were vulnerable.

Waite also pointed out that there was no con-nection between Iraq and the Sept. 11 attacks. He said it is widely believed that the U.S. invaded Iraq for its oil resources.

He also indicated that the United States and other countries are taking the wrong approach in their responses to terrorism. “The war on terrorism is a mistake,” he said. “Terrorism is a symptom of much deeper disorders.” He compared terrorism to a disease. “You don’t treat the symptoms, you deal with the underlying cause.”

Waite also talked about the volatile situation involving Israel and the Palestinians. “Violence is not the solution,” he said. “Violence leads to more violence, which leads to misery and destruction.” Waite said the vast majority of Israelis and Palestin-ians want a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

He hinted that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the root cause of worldwide terrorism, mainly be-cause the United States and other western nations support Israel.

Waite said he remains optimistic about positive changes in the world. “Never say never. Have hope for the future,” he said. “Pray that men and women will eventually behave as human beings and work for what, in our hearts, the vast majority of us desire. And that is peace in this troubled world, for indeed, blessed are the peacemakers.”

A grand opening ceremony was held for Henderson's new East and West residence halls on Nov. 7.

Henderson celebrated the grand opening of its two new residence halls with a ribbon cutting and reception on Nov. 7. The ceremony coincided with Reddie for Henderson Day as more than 500 high school seniors converged on the campus for tours and orientation.

They also toured the new residence halls following the ceremony and were treated to food and drinks.

Henderson students moved into East and West

halls at the beginning of the fall semester. Each building is about 44,000 square feet and houses ap-proximately 175. They each include a common room with kitchenette, game room, laundry facilities, and two-bedroom suites with shared bathroom facilities in each suite.

The architect for the project was Steelman Con-nell Mosley Architects and the contractor was Kinco Constructors, LLC.

Henderson welcomes new band director, basketball coachesThe end of the 2006 spring semester brought two notable retirements. David Rollins laid down his baton after 18 years as director of bands at Henderson. He is now teaching band and music in Texas. Dr. Penny Ferguson, associate professor of educational leadership, also retired after playing a key role in the development of the EDL program.

Both the Reddies and Lady Reddies basketball teams are under new leadership. Sam Weaver, a 1981 graduate of Henderson, has returned to coach

the team he once played for. Weaver had been head coach and athletic director at Kennett High School in Missouri. Before that, he was an assistant coach at Mississippi State University. Josh Matthews is the new coach for the Lady Reddies. He was previously coach at Labette Community College in Kansas where he led a very successful program.

Jesse Leyva is the new director of bands and as-sistant professor of music. He becomes only the third band director at Henderson in almost 50

years, following Rollins and Wendell Evanson. Leyva taught music in the California public and private schools for four years. He also served as a part-time member of the faculties of San Jose State University where he taught courses in conducting and music education, as well as Stanford Univer-sity, where he was the assistant conductor of the Stanford Symphony Orchestra. He is a candidate (ABD) for the doctor of musical arts degree from Arizona State University.

“Malachi Smith knows Henderson as ‘a school with a stomach’ as well as ‘a school with a heart.’” That was the lead sentence in an article that appeared in the Oct. 14, 1943, edition of The Oracle on the occasion of Smith’s 40 years of service to Henderson as the chief cook and manager of the college lunchroom.

Smith died in 1947, but his legacy lives on.

Several of Smith’s descendents were on campus this summer for a reception at the Captain Henderson House to mark the establishment of the Malachi Smith Me-morial Scholarship. “We hope to see an endowment of $100,000,” said Dr. John Hall, managing director of the Henderson Foundation. He said Smith’s family has already made a substantial donation to the scholarship.

“Priority consideration for the scholar-ship award will be given to African-Ameri-can students,” said Hall. Smith’s daughter, Gracie Smith Reynolds of Los Angeles, and three grandchildren were among those who attended, including Fred Smith and Patricia Reynolds, both of Los Angeles, and Etta-

tricia Clark (’76, ’79) of Little Rock. “As a family, we want to show our appreciation and support to Henderson in the form of this scholarship,” said Fred Smith.

During the reception, proclamations from Henderson president Dr. Charles Dunn, Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Arkadelphia Vice-Mayor Ann Sanders paid tribute to Smith, who was also a successful businessman and farmer in the area.

Smith, who was born in Arkadelphia in 1881, began helping his mother in the kitchen when he was 9 years old. When he was 22, he was offered a position as the chief cook at Arkadelphia Methodist College by G.C. Jones, who was president of the college. The 1943 Oracle article sug-gested that Jones offered Smith the position after tasting his delicious meals at a vaca-tion camp.

For the next 22 years, Smith was the chief cook at Henderson. But in 1925, Hen-derson-Brown President Clifford Hornaday decided to cut the kitchen staff. Bennie Jean Bledsoe, author of Henderson State Univer-sity: Education Since 1890, quoted Smith as saying, “The president said he could run

the kitchen with only two cooks and two dishwashers, and attend to all the bak-ing needs besides, and I am going to give him a chance to try.” With that comment, Smith left Henderson for two years, but returned in 1926 when J.W. Workman be-came president. “Mal,” as he was known, became part of the Henderson tradition as thousands of students enjoyed his meals during his 40 plus years at the college.

Not only did Smith serve Hender-son well as the manager of the kitchen, but he also owned the first silent picture show for blacks in Arkadelphia, and oper-ated a restaurant, barber shop and dance hall for many years. Smith also attended Greater Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Arkadelphia, where he was a longtime member, trustee and deacon.

The Malachi Smith Memorial Scholarship has been established at the Henderson Foundation. Donors may make contributions by forward-ing their gift to the foundation at HSU Box 7550, Arkadelphia, Ark., 71999. Checks should be made payable to Henderson Foundation.

The Malachi Smith Memorial Scholarship has been established at the Henderson Foundation. Donors may make contributions by forward-ing their gift to the foundation at HSU Box 7550, Arkadelphia, Ark., 71999. Checks should be made payable to Henderson Foundation.

Bettye Wallace is a legacy in women’s athletics at Henderson State University, and she has played a lead-ing role in the promotion of women’s sports in Arkansas and throughout the nation.

Wallace’s contributions were rec-ognized on Nov. 4 when Henderson’s tennis facility was renamed the Bettye Wallace Tennis Center. The celebration began with a reception in the south lobby of the Wells Center, followed by a dedication ceremony.

A new sign was installed at the tennis courts, and Wallace has pledged a donation of $10,000 to help build a tennis office and storage building next to the courts. An arched entryway is also planned. Friends, family, alumni, and former students have made sub-stantial donations.

Wallace played tennis for Hen-derson from 1949-50. She coached at Henderson from 1963 to 1987. She led the volleyball team to a champion-ship in 1975. She was named volleyball Coach of the Year in 1981, and tennis Coach of the Year in 1986. Wallace also served as women’s athletic director.

To make a donation, call Hender-son’s Office of Development at 870-230-5401, or 877-733-2586.

Henderson State University’s reputation for being “The School with a Heart” is long standing and refers to the special care and encouragement given to each of its students by faculty, staff, and administration. That care is often reflected in the love of alumni for the institution, sometimes in an extraordinarily generous way. Such a gesture was made through the Hender-son State University Foundation this summer by James O. and Norma Jean Langley Lide, who donated a piano to the music department.

Norma Jean practically grew up on the Henderson State University campus. In 1930, her parents moved to Arkadelphia from Norman and lived in a house that was located approximately where the Evanson Band Hall now stands. When she was 12, she began study with Mrs. H. Grady Smith, chair of the music department at Henderson. The relationship continued through her matriculation into Henderson State Teachers College to her graduation in the Class of 1951 with a bachelor of music education degree, majors in piano and organ.

She taught piano until her retire-ment in 1986. From the outset of her career, her dream was to own a wonderful piano, and that dream came true. In August, she gave the piano to Henderson.

An endowment honoring entertainer Vince Gill has been established at Henderson State University, thanks to Barbara Johnston Hubbard, a nation-ally known entertainment consultant. Hubbard, a Henderson alumnus, helps book acts for Summit Arena and Magic Springs, among hundreds of other venues.

Known around the nation as “Mother” Hub-bard, she recently visited Hot Springs to present a check establishing the endowment. “The purpose of the Vince Gill Endowment is to attract and reward high-quality music majors in performance and academics at Henderson,” Hubbard said. “Interest from the endowment will fund an annual award to a senior in Henderson’s music department with a minimum 3.0 grade point average, begin-ning in 2007.”

“We are pleased to count Barbara “Babs” Johnston Hubbard among our alumni,” said Billy Tarpley, Henderson’s director of development. “She has distinguished herself within the music industry and has earned the highest possible accolades from her colleagues. She is truly one of the great mentors in the music production business, but she loves Henderson where she earned her BA in biology in 1948.”

“I had great fun there,” Hubbard said, “and I want to give something back.”

Steve Arrison, executive director of the Hot Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau, said Vince Gill “is respected worldwide as one of the true gentlemen in the entertainment world. His integrity and dedication are known wherever he goes.” Hubbard met with Gill when he performed at Summit Arena last year and told him she planned to honor him with the endowment.

Hubbard established the Mother Hubbard’s ACTS Scholarships, which give hands-on experi-ence each summer to college students who are interested in careers in the entertainment business. The scholarships bring young people to places such as Magic Springs, where they spend the summer as interns working on every aspect of the concert series at the park. “They get experience they could never obtain in the classroom,” said Arrison.

Hubbard is based in Las Cruces, N.M., where she consults nationwide with clients to locate and sign performers. Arrison said her personal contacts in the entertainment world are legendary.

Contributions to the Vince Gill Endowment may be made to the Office of Development, Henderson State University, P.O. Box 7540, Arkadelphia, Ark., 71999.
