Student journalists to hold meeting at Lyon

The Arkansas College Media Association (ACMA) will hold its annual convention April 11 at Lyon College.

Approximately 100 students from around the state who work on student newspapers, yearbooks and literary magazines will attend the meeting, which will be held in the Lyon Building.

Registration will begin at 9 a.m. After a brief welcome in Nucor Auditorium, concurrent sessions will be held during the morning, followed by an awards luncheon.

Scheduled to participate in the morning sessions are Robert McCord, columnist for the Arkansas Times and a veteran Arkansas editor; Craig Ogilvie, travel writer for the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism; Roy Ockert, editor of The Jonesboro Sun; Clay Henry, editor and publisher of Hawgs Illustrated; and Jason Marzewski, associate director of public relations at Lyon.

Rock concert at Lyon to feature Cowboy Mouth, Wil Seabrook Band

The rock band Cowboy Mouth will be performing in concert Saturday, April 5, at Lyon. The Wil Seabrook Band will open the concert at 7 p.m. The concert will be held on the intramural field near the Grigsby House and Bryan Lake.

The concert, which will be free and open to the public, is being held in conjunction with Accepted Students Day at Lyon College. High school students who have been accepted for admission next fall are invited to the campus each spring.

Cowboy Mouth recently released a five-song CD with the sponsorship of Barq’s root beer. The band was formed in the early 1990s by drummer/lead singer Fred LeBlanc.

The Wil Seabrook Band recently made its major-label debut with a self-titled EP (five-song CD) for Maverick Records. The single, “It’s Your Life,” is getting significant airplay across the country.

Alcohol will not be allowed at the concert.

The Lyon College Concert Choir will host a “Renaissance Feaste: In Celebration of Spring” at 6:30 p.m. April 11 and 12 in the Fellowship Hall of First Presbyterian Church in Batesville at 775 E. Boswell St.

According to Misty Humway, director of the choir, “Guests will sup wassail and enjoy a repast of fresh green salade, rosemary apricot chicken on a bed of rice, green beane almondine with baked potato and piping hot rolls, finishing with fresh strawberry cake for dessert.”

Tickets for the event are $20 and must be reserved in advance. Deadline for reservations is April 8. Tickets may be reserved by calling (870) 698-4211 or e-mail lrose@lyon.edu.

The 24^th annual Arkansas Scottish Festival will be April 25-27 on the Lyon College campus. Festivities begin with the Big Show, featuring music and entertainment by Lyon students, on Friday night, April 25, and continue through Sunday afternoon, April 27. The opening ceremony with the Parade of Clans and Massed Bands will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 26. For more information, visit the festival Web site, www.lyon.edu/scotfest.

Two Lyon graduates will be rewarded for history papers that they completed while students here. The Arkansas Historical Association will present its annual award for Best Article in a County or Local Journal to Clint Reed '99 for his article, "Batesville, William Jennings Bryan, and Direct Democracy," which appeared in the October 2001-January 2002 issue of the Independence County Chronicle. Reed's article was the result of a directed study project supervised by Dr. David Stricklin.

In addition, an article by Trey Gaines '97 titled "From Vaudeville to Blockbuster & The History of the Landers Theater," which appeared in the April-July 2002 issue of the Independence County Chronicle, tied for the AHA's award for Best Business History in a County or Local Journal. Gaines's article was the product of a directed research project supervised by Dr. Jane Fagg and Dr. John Dahlquist.

Both articles were edited by Mrs. Nancy Britton, editor of the Chronicle. The awards will be presented at the Arkansas Historical Association's annual awards banquet in Monticello on Friday, April 25.

The Student Publications Board is inviting applicants for next year’s Highlander and Scot editors. For the Highlander, the board invites applications for Editor, Managing Editor, Sports Editor, Advertising Director, and Photography Editor. For the Scot, applications are sought for Editor.

Editors receive a stipend as well as valuable pre-professional experience in journalistic writing, editing, layout and office management.

It’s election time—LYON COLLEGE Alumni Trustee Election time, that is!

Lyon staff members have begun mailing brochures containing biographical information about trustee candidates along with trustee election ballots to alumni this week, and they will be sending out more in weeks to come. Alumni of Lyon College are asked to vote for one candidate and return the postage-paid ballot as soon as possible. (To qualify as a voting alumnus or alumna, you must have attended Lyon—or Arkansas College—for at least one full year.)

The GreenSheet Online! staff wants to try something new, fun, and definitely cool! Check it out: We want to make you famous! Ever hear the saying that goes something like, “Everyone gets twelve minutes of fame in life”? Well, we think twelve minutes just isn’t enough! In fact, we want to give you an entire WEEK of fame and acknowledgement.

Here’s the deal: We’d like to offer Lyon students, staff, faculty and alums the opportunity to “make the GreenSheet Online!” Beginning with the next week’s April 11 edition we’re going to feature a “GreenSheet photo of the week” in which readers have the opportunity to be pictured on the GreenSheet Online!

We now invite and encourage you to send us photos of yourself, relatives, friends, (enemies,) classmates, roommates, professors or whomever. This is the perfect opportunity for you to honor a friend, professor, or student, embarrass someone who was at your fraternity or sorority party, announce a wedding engagement or birth of a child or simply tell the world about what you did over the weekend.

- Photos must reflect some positive or humorous aspect of humanity, and should neither be obscene nor offensive.

- Photos that display good lighting, composition, and that are in sharp focus have a significantly higher chance of making the GreenSheet Online!

- Digital photos or scanned versions of 35mm prints are the preferred form of submission. However, actual prints will be accepted with the understanding that the GreenSheet Online! staff will not be held responsible if the print(s) become(s) lost or damaged in any way.

- Photo submissions must include a brief description of the photograph and the name of the individual who took the picture.

- E-mail photos and information to: jmarzewski@lyon.edu (You may also bring prints to the Office of Public Relations in the Nichols building.)

See? It’s really quite easy to be featured on the GreenSheet Online! And if you act quickly, you’ll see yourself in next week’s edition!
