Lyon students to present papers at 2001 state research conference

Kathy Cater, under the direction of Dr. David Stricklin, will be presenting a paper entitled “Quakers and Slavery.” Jeremy Christian, under the direction of Dr. Sally Browder, will also present a paper entitled “Optimism and Relations to Personality Dimensions.”

In addition, Kathy Cater will also be presenting a paper, “The Inhumanity of Slavery and the Limits of American Freedom,” at the regional conference of Phi Alpha Theta, the national history honor society. This conference will be held on March 31 at Arkansas Tech in Russellville.

Dr. Russell Stinson, newly appointed Josephine Emily Brown Professor of Music, autographs copies of his new book, “J.S. Bach’s Great Eighteen Organ Chorales,” at a book signing after a performance given by him Tuesday in Brown Chapel.

Organ donation awareness program

Several members of the Lyon College community either have family members in need of transplants, have donated an organ, have received an organ or have a family history of an illness that could lead to a need for a transplant.

The public is invited to the program, which is intended to bring awareness about this important issue to the campus and the Batesville community issue.

Participants in the program will include Keith Maddison of Little Rock, who is with the Arkansas Regional Organ Recovery Agency (ARORA), and Truman Hall, a heart transplant recipient from Bee Branch. David Wilkey, the recipient of two kidney transplants, and Deborah Sisson, a kidney donor, will also speak.

There will be open discussion and materials available.

Lyon hosted District II History Day on Thursday, March 15, in Becknell Gymnasium. Participating in the event were 113 high school and junior high students from six area schools. The theme was “Frontiers in History.”

Self-defense program scheduled

John Chiaramonte of the APPLE Project will be leading the program. He holds a brown belt in Kenpo Karate and has considerable experience in the area of self-defense instruction. The program will consist of preventative personal safety issues, as well as the legal and moral ramifications on whether or not to carry a weapon. Basic scenarios will be introduced, and useful holds and grabs will be demonstrated.

Spring production

All students, faculty, and staff are entitled to one free admission. Call x1749 for reservations. This production is intended for mature audiences only.
