This year’s convocation, to be held the day before the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., will provide an opportunity to reflect on that day and the events that have since transpired.

In addition, the winners of the President’s Cup and Mr. and Ms. Lyon College will be announced. The campus community also will recognize the 2001-02 recipient of the Williamson Prize for Excellence in Teaching, Dr. Barrie Bondurant.

All campus picnic, raft race Splish, splash! Faculty members Nikki Yonts and John Weinzierl didn’t take a bath in last Monday’s exciting raft race at Bryan Lake. The intrepid duo paddled quickly — and safely — across the lake in their worthy craft, Faculty Fury.

Scots soccer draws good crowd

The Scots kept it close in the first half, tied 1-1 at the break, but the Lions of Freed-Hardeman pulled ahead in the second half to take a 4-1 victory over the Scots.

The Scots tied the score midway through the first half when Michael Mumert scored on a rebound shot.

The Scots got more shots on goal (15-9) but the Lions made the best of their opportunities.

The Scots will visit Freed-Hardeman September 30 in Henderson, Tennessee, for a rematch. Saturday’s game did not count in the TranSouth standings, but the September 30 match will.

The Scots are 0-2 for the season and will travel to Walnut Ridge Saturday to take on Williams Baptist College.
