Students see benefits of new phone line contract
Prank callers and random sex seekers beware! Hendrix telephones are now equipped with a technology that's pretty much commonplace elsewhere: caller ID. The feature was added this summer when Information Technology switched the College's telecommunications provider and installed new wiring throughout the campus.
Front Street and Clifton Street apartment dwellers don't have access to this feature because they are wired into the city of Conway's phone system, not Hendrix's.
Fortunately for students, the service comes at no extra charge because it's included as a regular component of the new service provider's contract.
"The students basically got a freebie on this one," said Sam Nichols, director of Information Technology.
Two tenure track professors join faculty this year
Dr. Richard Charles Murray joined the biology department as an assistant professor. Dr. Murray earned his degrees from the University of Western Ontario. His hiring reflects the growing number of biology majors on campus. Another growing department received help from Dr. Jose Vilahomat, who completed his undergraduate education at the Universidad de la Habana and a master's degree and a doctorate from Florida International University.
Visiting profs ease teaching load for academic year
Three visiting instructors and professors fill holes in the anthropology, biology and politics departments created by faculty sabbaticals and departures. Dr. Tracy L. Brown brings degrees from the University of Connecticut and Duke University to the anthropology department.
Dr. Linda Gatti-Clark, assistant professor of biology, brings degrees from UCA and Oklahoma State University.
Dr. Jeffrey Johnson, is assisting the politics department this year. He earned his doctorate from the University of Wisconsin.
Board of trustees grants promotions to five profs
Drs. Fred Ablondi, Allison Shutt and Kim Maslin-Wicks were granted tenure while Dr. Karen Griebling and Professor Lyle Rupert both were named full professors.
