Dear Fellow Lion,

Welcome to the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith. I am excited and proud to welcome you as a part of the Lion family!

Our University has a rich history and a promising future. The Alumni Association serves about 45,000 alumni. We are unique because the University has undergone a few name changes since 1928. Anybody who attended Fort Smith Junior College, Westark, or UAFS automatically belongs to the Association if they completed 14 hours or more. One of the best things about the Alumni Association is that membership is FREE! We don’t charge dues; we just want our alumni to stay connected.

You are a future alumnus of UAFS, but you can get engaged in the Association even as a freshman. The Student Alumni Association (SAA) is a great way to meet new people, get plugged in on campus, connect with alumni, and receive some really cool benefits like discounts in the Barnes & Noble Lions Bookstore, free t-shirts, and much more.

The Student Alumni Association, with the help of the Alumni Office, is proud to bring you this Traditions Book. I challenge you to complete all the traditions at UAFS and become a Tradition Keeper. If you complete a certain number of traditions, you are able to wear special cords at your graduation. This book will guide you through life as a Lion. The SAA and the Alumni Association are here to both serve you and act as a home away from home. Keep the traditions alive, and Go Lions!

Best wishes,

Katie Kratzberg ’07Assistant DirectorStudent Alumni Association Advisor

1930s & 1950s FrEShmAN iNiTiATiON WEEK

In 1939, students began a new tradition known as Initiation Week. Freshmen wore beanies and “buttoned” sophomores upon request during the week-long initiation period. This rite of passage stopped shortly thereafter because of World War II. In the 1950s, after the college moved to its current location on Grand Avenue, the tradition of freshmen wearing beanies was started again.

grEEK LiFEThe Greek Life community is composed of eight fraternal organizations and encompasses almost six percent of the student population. The four fraternities on campus are Kappa Alpha Order, Kappa Sigma, Pi Kappa Phi and Sigma Nu. The sororities are Delta Gamma, Delta Sigma Theta, Gamma Eta, and Gamma Phi Beta.

Joining a fraternity or sorority comes with multiple benefits. Grade point averages are higher than the average student’s, and in fall 2011 alone the fraternal organizations accumulated almost 5,000 hours of community service.

The mission of Greek Life is to foster an environment in which development of leadership skills, involvement in community service, commitment to scholarship, and attention to friendship are encouraged. Students involved in fraternities and sororities have shown a higher graduation rate, better job placement rate, and make stronger alumni than any other students on a college campus.

Consider joining us to create the newest and fastest growing tradition at UAFS. For more information, contact the Greek Life Office, [email protected].

iNTrAmurALS“Where Integrity Meets Intensity” is the motto of the intramural sports program at UAFS. Intramurals is a program where students get to compete on a variety of levels in more than 13 sports, ranging from flag football and dodgeball to air rifle and basketball.

Intramural sports provide a way for students to compete in a healthy, safe, environment. For more information, contact Greg Gillam, [email protected].

AThLETiC ACCOmpLiShmENTS ThrOugh ThE yEArSUAFS’s athletic history began in 1928—the year the University, which was then a junior college, was founded. Throughout its long history as a junior college, UAFS won three national championships – one for women’s basketball in 1995 and two for men’s basketball in 1981 and 2006. UAFS was also national runner-up for women’s basketball in 1994 and for volleyball in 2008. The University has won countless conference and regional tournament championships in each of its sports. After more than 50 years as one of the most successful junior-college programs in the nation, UAFS became a member of the NCAA Division II.

UAFS now competes in ten sports: volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, men’s and women’s golf, and men’s and women’s tennis.

Throughout its history, UAFS has produced several All-Conference, All-Region, and All-American players. Three former women’s basketball players have gone on to play in the WNBA—Kim Williams ’95, Alisa Burras ’96, and Gillian Goring ’05. Four former men’s basketball players have gone on to play in the NBA—Ron Brewer ’76, Darrell Walker ’80, Maurice Jeffers ’99, and Sonny Weems ’06. Five former baseball players have played in the Major Leagues—Jeff McKnight ’83, Kevin Lomon ’90, Ryan Nye ’93, Aaron Looper ’97, and Craig Gentry ’04.

ChEErLEAdiNg & pOm SquAd UAFS has both cheerleading and pom squads that support Lion athletics year round. Tryouts for both squads are held during the spring semester. Fall tryouts are held only if necessary. The squads cheer at the home basketball, volleyball, and baseball games, plus a number of the away games. For eligibility requirements, contact the Box Office, Smith-Pendergraft Campus Center, room 103.

Football team of 1932: dyer, Fine, Ford, White, Fayne, Narisi, hogan, galloway, robinson, Cox, Woodruff, Singleton, Adams, Bowman, Eshelman, mapes, Wilson, Narisi, molinare, Keith

In the early years, the college fielded teams in several sports, including basketball, tennis, and golf, that sometimes competed on the intercollegiate level. The football team lasted for three years: 1930, 1931, and 1932. The team traveled to play about half of its games on the road.

Numa, the University’s mascot, was chosen because the male lion in the original Tarzan book in 1912 was named “Numa.” Numa was also the name of the yearbook until its last publication in 2003. The bronze Numa sculpture measures 15 feet in length and weighs approximately 2,000 pounds. Take your photo with the Numa mascot at a game or the bronze Numa at Lion Plaza.
