Founders Day set April 12Founders Day activities have been scheduled for
April 12 with the Class of 1929 due to receive 50-year
medallions.
The first Founders Day was held in April, 1938
when radio station KRBC broadcast the event. In
1967 the practice of presenting medallions to
members of the "fifty-year class" was begun.
This year Class of 1929 members will be the
special guests at the April 12 assembly program and
will be escorted by students to all events. In chapel
the medallions will be presented and class members
will lead the prayers and one will give the class
response.
Following the assembly program, the official
ceremonies will be adjourned to the Quadrangle
where the Student Congress will be in charge of the
annual memorial service at the graves of the
founders of H-SU.There will be a reunion banquet on Wednesday
night. April 11, to give a special time for visiting. A
luncheon for the honored alumni, their escorts,
faculty and administration will be Thursday. Student
escorts will give guided campus tours to any class
members who request them and a Thursday mid-
morning coffee will allow more free time for casual
conversation.
More than 80 invitations have already been
mailed to members of the Class of 1929, "and if we
have missed anyone on our computer list please let
the alumni office know as soon as possible," John
Womble, Director of Alumni Relations, said.
Among those who have been involved in the early
planning stages of Founders Day are: Dr. and Mrs.
Lee Hemphill, Miss Mary Edna Turner and Glen
Brock from the Class of 1929, alumni association
officers Sherwyn McNair, Bobby Siltman and
Harold Wicker.Linton challenges distance, speed

But that still doesn't answer the question-Why
does Kim run?
"I like challenges. Now that I've run in a
marathon, I want to improve my time a whole lot.
When I was finished running, I realized I had the
ability to run that far. It's something I guess I
inherited. Both my Dad and brother run."
Kim also stresses the physical rewards of running.
"It makes me feel good. I like to run in the morning
and I like to run by myself and think. Sometimes
when I'm running, I think of everying in the world.
Other times, I make sure I keep a good pace and
push myself hard for a better time."
In preparation for her second attempt at 26.2
miles in April, Kim has been running five miles a day
and using the treadmill in the H-SU human per-
formance lab. Some days she runs as many as 10
miles.
"Dr. Anderson and I are working together. The
treadmill helps me get my pace set. I'll try to get my
endurance up as the race approaches, probably
running 10-12 miles a day. I never run over 16 miles
beause it takes too long to recuperate."
When the final training before the marathon
comes, Kim will cut down to just three or four miles
a day to save her energy for the long 26.2 mile effort.
She will eat plenty of carbohydrates to build up
energy that she will burn up running. Fatty foods are
out.
"Usually after running, I'm just thirsty. After
awhile I get hungry but I still have to watch what I
eat."
Kim is in her last semester at H-SU and the second
annual Marathon of the Southwest will be her last
major race as a collegian, so she has had to think

- -Iabout her running career after she graduates.
"I'll always run as a hobby," she says. "Margaret
Ellison of the Texas Track Club (of Abilene) has
invited me to go with them to meets. She wants to
coach me this spring. If I get into something like
that, I'd stay with it. I also belong to the Abilene
Roadrunners Club. They find out where there is a
race and get a group together and run in it."
For the moment, however, Kim is concentrating
on the Marathon in April. Unlike the treadmill she
works out on, her running career is definitely going
places and will continue to do so if she chases a
challenge.The estate of things-
Giving so
it counts
By DR. CL YDE CHILDERS
Development Consultant
Recently a friend was bringing me back to
the H-SU campus following a luncheon
engagement. He and his wife have
established some sizeable charitable
remainder trusts with our school as the
ultimate beneficiary. He said, "Clyde. I
don't believe people generally know of the
kind of program which my wife and I have
set up for H-SU or more would do it."
Here is a man and wife who: took some
highly appreciated real estate, set it up in a
charitable remainder unitrust, avoided all
the capital gain tax, received an income tax
deduction for the gift based on their ages
and the percent of payout, are also assured
of an estate tax deduction at the death of the
first spouse, pulled this amount out of their
estate (which greatly reduces the estate tax,
avoids all probate costs in connection with
it) and created an assured income for life
with no management responsibilities.
Of course they are happy! They have
conserved a tremendous portion of their
estate, will have a handsome income as long
as they live and will bless the lives of young
people until Jesus returns.
Yes, he is certainly right! More people
would do the same thing if they only knew
about the possibility. Our Development
Department has the expertise to help with
such planning. Call on us today! Our ser-
vices are free because you have prepaid
them with your gifts to H-SU.Tennis team attracts top-notch players

"We feel like that conditioning will give us that
extra edge in close matches," stated Newman about
his rigorous practice sessions.
"I believe that we have put together a group of
athletes who will represent Hardin-Simmons
University and the city of Abilene in intercollegiate
competition in a very fine manner," he said.
If Newman sounds a bit proud of this year's team,
he is not without justification. Four of the eight
members of his squad have grade point averages
above the three point level on a scale of four. Ac-
cording to Newman, the team's accumulative grade
point average is also above the three point level.
Newman, who is in his fourth full year at the helm
of the H-SU tennis program, has guided the
Cowboys to a 51-32 record. Among the victories
amassed by his teams are first place finishes in last
fall's Midwestern State University Team Tennis
Tournament, the 1979 Wildcat Invitational Team
Tennis Tournament, and the 1977 North Texas State
University Team Tennis Tournament.
"The quality of our program is now being
recognized by the schools that want to play us,"
commented Newman. "I expect Texas Christian
University to be ranked among the nation's top ten
teams this season and the Border Olympic Tour-
nament is by invitation only." "We feel that by
playing a very attractive schedule we can continue
to attract top-notch tennis players to Hardin-
Simmons which will help us to continue upgrading
our program," he said.
At the start of the season, senior Tim Owens was
expected to hold down the number one singles
position for the Cowboys this year. However, Owens
has been battling with a severe case of bursitis since
practice began and has played for the Pokes in the
number four position for most of the season.
Owens was last year's Most Valuable Player and
according to Newman, "has the ability to be an
outstanding collegiate Player." He is 8-5 on the year
with first place finishes in the ACU tournament at
the number four singles and number two doubles
positions.Chip Putnam of San Antonio rejoined the team
this season after a year's absence and has played for
Newman mostly at the number two and three singles
positions. Putnam, who has a 6-7 dual-match record,
is described by Newman as "a smart player who will
add strength to the Cowboys in both singles and
doubles competition." Last fall Putnam won the
number two divisional title of the Midwestern State
University Team Tennis Tournament in Wichita
Falls.
Freshman Bob Grout of Arkansas City, Kansas,
has started for Newman at the number one singles
position for most of the season. In putting together a
6-7 season record against more experienced players,
Grout has won the number one singles title of the
ACU tournament and won the number three
divisional title of the MSU tournament last fall.
Sophomore Steve Hoover of Hereford has played
for the Pokes most of the season at the number two
singles position, with some time coming at the third
and fifth spot. Hoover teamed up with Owens to win
the number two doubles title of ACU tournament
and took the number four divisional title of the MSU
tournament last fall.
Another sophomore, Jeff Woolsey of Portland,
has amassed a 9-3 singles record playing for the
Pokes at the fourth, fifth, and sixth singles positions.
Woolsey won the number five singles championship
at both the ACU and MSU tournaments.
Playing mostly at the number six singles position,
senior David Bragg of Abilene has compiled an 8-4
record including a first place finish in the ACU
tournament at the sixth position.
The doubles teams of Putnam and Woolsey and,
Hoover and Owens have split time as the Cowboys
top two teams with Putnam and Woolsey standing 6-
6 on the season and Hoover and Owens at 10-3. The
doubles team of Bragg and Grout are 7-4 on the
year.
Two other players, sophomore Larry Burciaga of
El .Paso and freshman Peter Foley of Wichita Falls,
are members of this year's team. Burciaga was
named the recipient of the 1978 Hustling Cowboy
Award for tennis.
